Re: NEW Vonage Third Party Call Control

I tried the links and got request sucessful. I am a long ways from home so I cant answer the vonage line.
Here is an example I would like to set up.
Im at Moms 300 miles from my Vonage phone.
I would like to be able to request a call via my moms computer then answer here at moms house and have the url conect me to my friend in Alaska via 3 way.

That way the Vonage line would call moms and Alaska and patch us together on my Vonage bill.

Anybody got any other ideas?

I have seen that somewhere, but don't recall where.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's something that is/will be available with BroadVoxDirect.com or VoicePulse.com.

Yes, that would be handy if Vonage provided it too. One thing to note is that the first call is to the Vonage line and second to the ToNumber.

From your Mom's computer, login to Vonage and forward your calls to her phone.

Then, when you use the new feature, the first call goes like this:

Your # --> forwarded to Mom's --> answered

Now Vonage should connect your friend's # in Alaska.

Just a guess that it may work. Worth a try.

Wow. U are good, Solution! I wish I would have thought of that.

Now, if we only had a programmatic way to do that call forwarding via HTTP (post or get) or web services.



What do you think, Vonage?

Most likely it was call pilot from Nortel.
Use to use it all the time.
