call screening - possible?

Hi!

Is something like Google Voice's call screening possible? ie: When someone calls you, you answer and a voice says something like "press 1 to answer, press 2 to blah, press...."

I've tried searching, but I didn't find anything...

Thanks!

If I understand FollowMe correctly - that will ring number 1, then number 2, etc... until someone picks up. Call screening is a different matter.

Basically the usecase is:
* DID gets forwarded to a cell phone.
* I answer the cell phone (which ignores CNAM)

How do I know the call was to my voip DID and not directly to my cell phone? I answer the calls differently. Is this possible with pbxes? The problem is the cell phones ignore the CNAM :/

Currently when someone calls my voip DID (using ringcentral or google voice), I get a prompt that says "press 1 to answer the call" --> if I hear this, I know someone is calling me from voip and not calling my cell phone directly.

Thanks!
