Bridge Incoming POTS to Google Voice
SteveInWA:
OK, one last attempt:
Does the lodge's telephone company support conditional call forwarding, also known as "no-answer/busy transfer"? This is not the same as unconditional call forwarding.
If so, then add the lodge's telephone number as one of your GV account's forwarding phone numbers. You will need to either be there, at the lodge, to answer the phone and verify the number, or coordinate with one of the members to be there to answer and enter the two-digit verification code.
After you do that, then you would enable conditional call forwarding on that line, to your GV number. This would accomplish what you want.
SteveInWA:
Oh, and don't forget to remove the number you added to InboundCallRoute, and return it to the default value.
k9bm:
I'm sure the telco does support conditional call forwarding, but again the problem is that they only have one nxx exchange locally, and the GV number is long distance from the lodge line as no one else can get any of these numbers (nor can they be ported)....
SteveInWA:
Well then, either pay the long distance charges, or fuggedaboudit.
k9bm:
Actually, for those reading this after the fact, I solved it by simply getting a second GV account and forwarding to it using the original instructions by drgeoff. Still free, and seems to work reliably....
