How to organize a mass call from a specific number?

Question

Telephony

Hey!
We're going to call a few hundred people to invite them to one event. We would like the people we invite to display the same phone number (it doesn't matter which one). At the same time, a call to this number should be transferred to the mobile number of one of the managers.
How to organize this? (If at all possible). The office does not have a landline phone, but there is an Internet 10Mb / s in both directions.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about IP-telephony, PBX, SIP, etc., and I myself have never used anything other than Skype. I would be especially grateful for recommendations on specific solutions.
Thank you.

Answer 1

As easy as pie! Make a list of numbers in Excel, upload it to Virtual Office Tools, an autoinformer and click "Mass call") Just look carefully with the settings: for the first time, by inattention, we bombed several thousand calls per minute and collected so many feedbacks from customers that our office PBX hung =)

Answer 2

The easiest solution in your case would be to rent a VPS and install Asterisk there. After that, you can buy a SIP number with the code of the city you need, record a message that will be played when dialing, and, in fact, configure Asterisk.
To set it up, I think you should contact a specialist. I can offer my candidacy - in the profile there are contacts and a link to the Elance profile.

Answer 3

Contact your mobile operator, I think they should have the service you need. For money, they will gladly help.

Options:
1. Virtual number (alloincognito, mango, etc.) + sip provider
2. Virtual number and telephony in one person - alloincognito
Renting a number is about 1000 rubles / month, incoming calls are forwarded according to an algorithm that you set up yourself. Outgoing through a third-party sip operator or directly incognito, they also provide such a service.
Buying a number is a separate issue, because. you can take a cheap and outrageously expensive beautiful room. In general, the main expenses for the room and the contract. But then you will fight back on savings in negotiations and get mobility.
