Call forwarding from landline to iPad?

Question

Telephony

Hello!
I want that when they call me on a landline phone at home, the call goes to the iPad.
What devices, applications can implement this? Far from the topic, but I suspect that we need to dig towards VOIP, IP telephony.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

A simple option is to use the MultiFon sip service:
- install a client on the ipad (either the MultiFon iphone application is a so-so application, or any other - for example Linphone.)
- configure it to work with the MultiFon service (one thing - you need to have a MultiFon sim- map)
- configure the routing of incoming calls: either only to the sip client on the ipad, or double - to both sip and gsm (routing is configured through the application in the app-store "Redirect MF")

Answer 2

Since a call to the iPad can come in two ways: by sip and by sip, then we must proceed from this.
So the first thing: get a home line via SIP.
The second is to configure routing. Here, as you prefer, you can Skype, you can sip. I'm more comfortable with the sipe. In addition, Skype business does not have to buy.
The first can be implemented in two ways: the first is to pick up the number by VIP from the provider, the second is to install an FXO gateway at home. The first option is preferable, since you do not have to take care of the gateway turned on at home. However, there is a catch: even if it is, it will give the number by sip, it can allow connection to its sip server only for subscribers of its intranet network.
The routing option is again solved in several ways: in the general case, I can recommend pbxes.com, but setting up routing there right away may not work without experience.
I also want to remind you that the home phone will have to be equipped with an FXS gateway or replaced with an IP phone.
Since I don’t really believe in the existence of a provider that allows you to cling to your sip server “from the outside”, that is, there is another intermediate option: play around with throwing sip outside using a home router. You may need a white IP address for normal rtp traversal.
