any telephony experts here?

[user0007]

I have TWO(2) land line phone lines (1&2) at my room. I would like an equipment I install in my room which receive a call on line#1, and forward it to a cellphone#(3) THROUGH line#2. So, it would open the second line and dial a cellphone#.


here is some background so you understand my question better

1-I am originally from Egypt, my family phone# is 111-1111
2-Currently I am in USA my cell phone# is 222-2222
3-I subsribed for VOIP service and they provided me with and equipment(phone adapter with router), they associated this device with phone# 333-3333.
4- I sent this device to my family in Egypt, so they can call me for free, and I just need to pay the subscription fee. They connect a regular land line telephone and dial my number as if they were in USA.

Accordingly, my family now has two phone lines (USA line and Egypt line). I would like a device I put between the two lines. So, my friends in Egypt call Egypt phone#(111), and get prompted to choose to call my family or their call forwarded through the other line(333), to my phone#(222).

is there any device available which is capable of doing so?
What are my options

I dont know of any device that will do that short of a phone system. Maybe your VOIP provider can do something. like a custom voicemail or something.

Partner ACS with PC card voicemail and one extension forwarded to the outside phone number will do it but the voice quality is not really great, it is a bit low on volume but works. You can have the voicemail pick up answer all calls then people can press a digit you have to specify or the extension (all depending on the programming) and can get to the forwarded extension that will call out on the second trunk, or they can press something else and go to ring the phones that are connected.
Good part about the partner system is that it will work with analog phones BUT you will need a Partner 18D or better to program it otherwise you won't be able to program it.

Sounds like you have an ATA adapter in Eygyt, connected to your VoIP provider.

What you want is possible, but you will need a pc running to do it.

You will then need a PBX softswitch such Trixbox or Ondo, then set it up on there.

However, it will need the pc running all the time.

Only the truly stupid believe they know everything.

I didn't follow Jerry's link to Mike Sandman above, so this may be the same thing, but they used to have fax switching devices (before they were built into faxes) that would answer the phone and say something like "Press 1 to send a fax or 2 for the phone" and then it would ring the device plugged into port 1 or 2 depending on which button you pressed. Maybe something like that would work.

Good luck

If you ask a better question you will get a better reply. Be specific so we can help!

look into gold boxes perhaps? I'm kind of stuck. No device exists that I know of that will do this. Perhaps for a hundred bucks you can find an old old PBX on craigslist and connect that. More effort though than necessary.

Now that I re-read this. If your VOIP provider is Vonage or Lingo (I have Lingo) you can log into the service and set it up for multi-ring. I have mine set up so that anytime someone calls my VOIP number it also rings my cell phone. That way if I'm not home I still get the call, and if I'm home and too lazy to get up I can still answer with my cell phone.

Maybe that will work for you instead of all this other stuff we've been talking about?
