Using VOIP Line for Remote Call Forwarding open original image

I am totaly new to VOIP so please keep that in mind when answering this question.



I would like to be able to use a VOIP service (that has free long distance) to make long distance calls using my cell phone. Therefore, I would like to be able to call my home (voip) number and have it pick up my call and allow me to enter the number I what to call and route my call to that number. Is this possible and what do I need in terms of harware and service to make this happen? Is there some dedicated box that has the firmware to handle this? (I would like to avoid having to purchase a PC, install linux, and install some call management software, if I can...



Thanks for your help



Earl



Well Linux with Asterisk can do this - DISA is the term you need to research.

The Sipura SPA-3000 may be able to do what you want.

Hi Earl,

iptalks.net allows you to register your cell phone # ... then use a dial around service ... like a calling card ... and place long distance calls or even international calls ... at very resoanable rates ...

wait for the flash to be over or hit the skip button and you will see a place to sign up for a free $5 trial offer.

Eventually NTTL.OB will have other options like "call back"

Earl, I came across a device that seems to do what you describe. Since the post is so old, I am also sending to your email addy.

The ATT Callvantage Service has that as a standard feature. You set it up on their website. You can register phone numbers so you do not have to dial your VoIP number first. You enter the appropriate numbers and the call goes through. ATT uses a separate Call Management number from the VoIP number which is a virtual number.
