VoIP email 2 phone

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Just finished testing my email2phone system I didn’t invent it as it exists since a year or so. The feature is quite simple. You send an email or SMS to a server who connects a long distance or international call to a phone.

Great when you can’t make international calls from the office or cell phone or better yet from hotel rooms.

For example you want to call +44 55 55 55 55 55 from your office 952 555 5555. Service providers ask you to SMS or email a message like ‘password’ call 011 44 55 55 55 55 55 from 011 1 952 555 5555 then to reply to a SMS or email confirming the call… quite secure.

Using my Asterisk IP PBX is to create table of authorized requestors, no needs for passwords and verification. It also allows me to automatically route the call without specifying the destination and to create shortcuts:

  • If I email from my office, I just send and email with the destination number, my office phone rings within 30seconds with my correspondent. I want to call my Dad, I just email with ‘Dad’ and 30 second later my Dad is on the office phone.
    Same using my cell phone.
  • If I send a request the call is transferred to my cell. Normally it is where want the call.
  • If I need the call to be transferred somewhere else I just email/SMS: ‘destination number’/’transfer number’ et voila!

Simple, easy and safe!

Hello world!

I decided to create a blog to talk about my Home Automation, network and VoIP Systems. I had those one already based on older technologies and when the house burnt down, I had to redo it based on past experience and new technologies.

Feel free to comment and to ask, I’ll be pleased helping around.
