Telephone

I will have a number of telephone numbers all serving a particular purpose. My goal will be to have just the minimum number of telephone service providers as possible. This will likely mean the VOIP? provider for most of the numbers with the cellular phone likely to be a new carrier. While some things might change based on what I think of, there will be an assurance that everything is accurate in my Ideal Phone Setup.

For the workings of telephone services, I will have a telephony server. The server will handle my 412, and 724 numbers. There will be a fax server installed. For the 724 number, the server will pickup immediately, listen for a fax tone. If it hears the fax tone, then it will collect the fax, and send it to my email address. The telephony server will use a dedicated email address. Both my 412 and 724 numbers will use the same voicemail. This means I will just have to check 2 voicemail services. From my home phone, I will simply dial *86 (VM) for my voicemail.

I will have a printer that can support faxes. This will be essential for any outgoing faxes. I will have an ATA? plugged into my fax machine, and from there, all calls will go out on that ATA for faxes. I don’t see me needing to fax often, but if I should need to, I will have that resource.

My 878 number will be my cellular line. This will always be on my iPhone Pro Max, and whatever version I will have. Currently, I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and while I am not in the budget availability to replace it anytime soon, I will splurge and get me the best iPhone Pro Max. If my color option is not black (or close to it), then I will acquire a case as well.
