| use *21* from external phone |
     |
Hello, I was wondering whetter I can organize a forwarding (*21*<telno>) from an external phone/gsm. I find out already that I can listenn to my voicemail from an external phone/gsm (*<PIN>#), so it makes sense to me I can use other pbx codes from external phone/gsm as well.
The reason I need this function is I am often offline and only have my gsm and the gsm is only on on specific times. If my gsm is off all calls forwarded by pbxes to my gsm are instantly taken with a message by my gsm provider. So I don't have a way to use the pbxes VM if gsm is off. So the workaround I see is
1. default in pbxes no forwarding to gsm
2. as soon as I put my gsm on, put forwarding on on pbxes to gsm by *21*<gsmno> and put if off (#21#) before I put my gsm off. In that way I make sure people who know the hours I am reachable will effectively reach me.
I hope someone can help,
Update 1
I found out that if I make an inbound route to the digital receptionist leaving all entries empty, when I call DR from outside I am able to reach all my available extensions. Click 1 to redirect to extension 1, etc. I made a sip-extension in which I pointed the 'PSTN' field to '*21*<mygsm no>'. If I call DR from my gsm and click the extension with this forwarding I get feedback 'forward conditional activated'. But calls are actually not forwarded to my gsm. If I just put '*21*<mygsm no>' on my softphone connected to my pbxes account the forwarding is actually forwarded as wanted.
So my question remains: How can I activate and deactivate forwarding (*21*) from the gsm I want the forward to be made to?
Update 2
Tried something different. Ext 4 on my account is connected to pbxes, I use it to connect my softphone to pbxes. If I call '*21*<gsmno>' all calls to pbxes are forwarded to my gsm, which is what I want. So now I want to try to do the same by accessing Ext4 from an external phone.
First test: So I made a sip-trunk assigned to my regular voipisp. In the Dial rules I put '8888|XXXXXXXXXXXXX'. I made a new outbound route which I connect to this new trunk and in 'numbers started by' i put '8888'. If I now use callthru and dial '8888<testno>' I am connected to <testno> via the trunk of my regular voipisp.

Second test: I made a sip-trunk assigned my to pbxes account of Ext4. In he Dial rules I put '8888|XXXXXXXXXXXXX'. I changed the outbound route in First test to this newest trunk and let the rest the same. If I now use callthru and dial '8888<testno>' I am not connected to <testno> via pbxes trunk.

So it looks I introduced a loop in the system, which I can imagine
Third test:
In Second test I replace <testno> by '*21*<mygsm>'. It did not work out offcause because of the results of Second test. But I also saw in the log that if I use '*' or '#' they are not forwarded, so it looks I cannot use dtmf codes this way anyhow.
So my question remains: How can I activate and deactivate forwarding (*21*) from the gsm I want the forward to be made to?
