Configure Them?
Some of the five most frequently used features of VoIP for residential users and how to
configure them are thus discussed.
1. Ring Group
The Ring Group feature allows users to have incoming calls to be redirected to different
destinations that are included in the Ring Group. Thus, when the user receives a call to a
DID number routed to a Ring Group, all members of that group will ring at the same time
until one of them answers the call.
Note that the limit of members in a Ring Group is 12: Up to 8 (SIP, IAX2, or SIP URI)
members and up to 4 call forward entries per each Ring Group.
2. Voicemail to e-mail
This feature permits users to associate their voicemail to their DID Number and have any
voicemail messages left forwarded to their email address as an attachment. This means that
the user can receive them in their email address and listen to them in a device, such as a
computer, a mobile phone or a tablet.
1. From your Customer Portal, create a Voicemail account (Customer Portal >> DID
Numbers >> Voicemail >> Create New Voicemail Account).
In the "Attach message to email" field: Set to YES, the Mailbox will attach a .WAV file
containing the new message every time it sends an email notification.
In the "Attachment Format" field: You can select between WAV49, or mp3 format.
4. Next, assign your new Voicemail to your Main Account (Customer Portal >> Main Menu
>> Account Settings >> General >> Voicemail Associated to the Main Account).
5. Finally, manage your messages and voicemails to best suit you (Customer Portal >> DID
Numbers >> Voicemail >> Delete/Edit/List).
1. From your Customer Portal, create a CallerID Filtering entry (Customer Portal >> DID
Numbers >> CallerID Filtering).
2. Next, select the filter type of your choice. Some of the most common options often include
Anonymous CallerID Number and a Specific CallerID Number.
3. Then, choose the DID number to apply the filter. Note that you can also select all of the
DID numbers you have in your account.
Blacklist: This will block all of the numbers in the list and then go to the “no
answer” option.
Whitelist: This will allow incoming calls from all the numbers in that list, you can
even chose to forward that call into a ring group or forwarded to a specific DID.
Wildcards: This will allow specific terms, for example:
4. Call Forwarding
A Call Forwarding allows an incoming call to be redirected to a mobile
telephone or other telephone number where the desired called party is able to
answer. You can set any number, even international numbers.
Note that call forwarding will incur both an inbound and outgoing charge.
2. Next, input your preferred local phone number, including the prefixes 00
or 011 in case of international numbers. In the case of the latter, do not forget
to activate the International Calls option in your account.
CallerID Override - this lets you send the Caller ID of your choice to the
destination in order to recognize where the call comes from.
Description - This can help you identify a particular Call Forwarding entry.
DTMF Digits - It allows you to enter the digits that would be dialed once the call is
connected to your call forward number.
Pause - The number of seconds the system would wait before it sends the DTMF
digits you set with the option above.
3. Then, at your discretion, assign your Call Forwarding entry to your DID number you wish
to have calls forwarded to another number, go to (Customer Portal >> DID Numbers >>
Manage DID).
4. Next, choose the DID number(s) you wish to forward and select the Edit option. This will
take you to the Edit DID Settings page where you will select Call Forwarding under the
Routing option.
5. Finally, select your number from the drop-down menu and apply your changes.
