My home phone system is hooked up to a LinkSys SPA3102 using CallCentric as my VOIP provider.
Outgoing 800 and 911 calls go out on POTS and everything else goes out through the VOIP provider. CallCentric spoofs my telco phone number, so recipients get the right impression: that the call is coming from me on my home phone system.
Incoming calls are 100% POTS.
I just put an app called "Bria" on my iPod, pointed it at CallCentric, and it seems to be working a-ok for outbound calls.
The Question:
+--------------------------------------------------------------+If I were to migrate my "real" phone number from the telco to CallCentric and enable incoming calls from CallCentric and somebody called my number, how would it go down vis-a-vis the home phone system and my iPod/Bria?
- Would both ring?
- If I picked up on Bria, could somebody else pick up on the home phone system and participate in the call?
- If the first person to pick up were somebody picking up the home phone system, would there be any hope of my chiming in via Bria?
