A Question #117

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hey,

With the recent success of my ATA and the phone working now (save for SIPBroker 
code dialing), the law office that I'm assoicated with (I don't work for them, 
but I am family members with the owner) is interested in setting up their 
computers to allow 'free' phone dialing (maybe outbound only) using SIPSorcery 
and Google Voice.

The question I've got is: Is it possible to dial out (to either the same number 
or completely different numbers) using more than one softphone at the same time?

Say, computer 1 dials a number using the softphone and is connected (they would 
all be through the same Google Voice account, at least that's the way I would 
set it up unless the dial plan has changed and now alllows mulitple accounts).

Then, computer 2 (signed in using the same SIPSorcery account) uses their 
softphone to dial a completely different number and possibly be connected (the 
question is whether or not, this is possible?).

I mean, I've never tried it that way since I never have more than 1 computer 
(and when I'm with my cellphone, I'm never at the computer and keep it off). I 
mean, I never have more than 1 device connected at a time.

Thanks for your help,
X.A.N.A. V. (my 'fake name')

Thanks for your question.

First things first. As a general rule, no one should ever recommend running 
their business phones off of Google Voice. You'll see that all over the forums. 
Never. Second, there are far better ways to run IP telephony than what we are 
doing here. I urge you to check out "Incredible PBX". Not just Asterisk, not 
just Asterisk-in-a-Box, but Incredible PBX. It is an amazing (and free!) PBX 
that installs from CD and includes free Google Voice calling as one of its many 
features.

I believe you will have a tough time configuring more than one free outbound 
phone line using Google Voice, but Incredible PBX -- or other systems like it 
-- is really meant to run at the very heart of a business phone system. If 
you're looking to do a good job for free (or just for the cost of your own 
labor), definitely look into Incredible PBX and forget about SIP Sorcery.
