Re: Real reason why Grandcentral has 'press 1 to accept the call
said by zackwheat  :I saw this suggestion somewhere. Start your voicemail greeting by pressing "1", then leave the rest of your greeting. That's the GrandCentral voicemail, right?  |

I should probably not be suggesting this but I can see a really good reason to want to answer calls without having to hit 1. That would allow GC forwarded threw gizmo to a free of cost DID in any USA area code for a PBXes, astrick, woxalot, etc. set up with dial plans or any other application. It is also awkward to forward calls to a shared phone(such as a work phone) and have a computer respond when someone else picks up the line. I understand why it is nessacary with multiple phones ringing. But there could be an option that allows one specific line to answer or it could be allowed only when GC is only forwarded to a single line. I believe GC likely does not want people using there service as an incoming DID with SIP services and that is the reason for the policy.
I am working on a simple solution to workaround this; will post when I have it done. |

cbrain,
I tried your instructions but they dont work for me. I think the problem is not your instructions but that I am not getting the DID passed on by the trunk. I am using GC->Gizmo->trixbox. What could be the reason for DID not being passed on? I have had my system for a long time(> 2 yrs) but never used DID filtering feature so maybe there is something generically not setup corretly with my freepbx.
Here is what I am seeing on the CLI:
12 sip peers [8 online , 4 offline]
-- Executing Set("SIP/gizmoDID-09eebe58", "FROM_DID=s") in new stack
-- Executing Goto("SIP/gizmoDID-09eebe58", "custom-ivr-2|s|1") in new stack

Red Valley, AZ | in your sip registration string for gizmo project at the end put the DID.. e.g.
username:password@server.com/XXXXXXXXXXX
now when the call comes in for that trunk, it will have the XXXXXXXXXXX as did |
