Vonage I would like to set SimulRing to ring my personal cell phone, but I think it is dangerous.
I would like to set SimulRing to ring my personal cell phone, but I think it is dangerous. Here's the problem:
If I use my cell phone to call it's own number it thinks of this as a vall to voicemail. Verizon phones ask for the VM password, AT&T/Cingular phones just go right on in; no authentication necessary. Here's the problem. If I call home with my cell, SimulRing rings my cell right back. the cell carrier sees a call from my cell coming into my cell, and kicks into cellular voicemail immediately. The net result is I can't call home when Simulring is active. The home phone may actually ring once, but often does not.
Here's where it is a danger. If I get in an accident, I cannot call home to ask for help. Even worse an EMT flipping through my phone might use it to call home and not be able to get anyone.
The solution for this is for SimulRing to exclude the incoming number from the ring list. SIMPLE!!! ie. when getting an incoming call from 555-1212 DO NOT Simulring 555-1212 if it is normally on the list.
I seen various posts on Simulring in the forum, asking for something similar. Most go dead or get blown off, or apparantly mis-interpreted saying the fix is to adjust the VM ring count on the cell phone. One recent post actually suggested a non-vonage service. (Grand Central) Seriously, How hard could it be for the Vonage software to simply NOT Simulring the incoming number.
