Understood--thanks Trevor. I had wondered if the need to pay per channel might somehow amortize the LD balance.

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group
Looks like the caller ID gets lost when you forward. Normally if you do a simple forward using central office features, the caller ID will be the calling party's number. If you're using a PBX (or something that looks like one) the PBX does a hook-flash, makes a call to your PRI DID and you see the number of the line doing the forwarding. As someone pointed out earlier, port it if you can. --Don _ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Gondar Monn Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 1:56 PM To: novacks...@gmail.com; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group I managed to do it with a simple forward to the one of our DIDs The problem now is that I loose the CID of the original caller ...

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group
In the good old days telcos didn't care how many channels your forward used up, they just did it. However nowadays they only allow one channel at a time to be forwarded, if you need more you have to pay for it. Verizon here in NJ charges around $8.00 a month for each call path (channel), and so do most CLECs. Optimum cable used to not restrict how many channels, however the last customer I tried this with only one channel worked, even though for the ones I set it up before they started blocking it it still works. If you don't want to port it to the PRI for whatever reason you can convert it to a RCFW (remote call forwarded number) which is around $15.00 plus $8.00 for each additional channel again pricing is for here in Verizon land.

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group
It's quite possible that your busy forward will only forward one call at a time. What happens if you dial multiple calls directly to 555-2345? If that works, the problem is not with your PRI and Asterisk, the problem is with the forwarding from 555-1234. --Don _ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Gondar Monn Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 6:41 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group Thank you for your quick answers! @ Brent: rollover is on, I would like to any calls that come on 5551234 to another DID, to be able to receive several calls on the same number @ Don: You are right, I am talking about a specific DID: We have an analog line with busy forward setup @ the telco to forward calls to 5551234 ...

Re: [asterisk-users] PRI hunt group
Steve Totaro wrote: Forwarding a POTS line will not work, it is like a trunk to trunk transfer so it is not free, so the line stays busy. You need to port that number over to the PRI provider. That all depends on the POTS provider. Multiple calls from one POTS number CAN be done, but finding anyone these days in a business office that can do anything the least bit out of the ordinary is near impossible, and one may not be willing to pay for it. Same with repair - The stock answer - We checked the line from here, it has to be your equipment even with an open pair in their ( unmaintained ) Outside Plant is about all one can expect. Also, not all POTS lines are portable. In the US some ILEC's are exempt from the provisions of the 1996 telecom Act. All above assume this is in the US.
