Folks, Please forgive my ignorance. I think that what I am asking must be so obvious that no one bothers to write it down. But I don't know the answer so... I want to set up * with one incoming VOIP phone number. If someone calls me and is talking to me on that phone number, how does a second caller get to * voicemail instead of a busy signal?

If you are not experiencing this, can you see if that second call is even hitting your server? I have a feeling that your VoIP provider is limiting you to a single call. Either that, or you don't have your dialplan set up properly. Might wanna paste the relevant portion here as well. -- Dana
Art, Some VOIP ITSP's (all?) support multiple incoming calls. * picks up the second call, and sends the caller to voicemail. Art Zemon wrote:> Folks, > > Please forgive my ignorance.
