Serious question: How easy is it for your friend to call you back immediately from the same device? An hour later from a different device? A week later from any device? If the convenience doesn't flow both ways, it's not a solved problem. [It might be, I really don't know.]
- Sander_Marechal 15y agoThe return path works just like normal. Just hit the dial-back button on your phone or VoIP software and the phone that I used to phone you will start ringing. It gets interesting when we both have SIP/ENUM. I could call you from my mobile when I am at home and, when you ring me back, my home phone could ring because my SIP preference says to use that first. The only tricky thing is your own SIP/ENUM preference. It needs to know where incoming calls need to go. But that can be automated (e.g. your phone sees your home wifi network and thus sets the preference to ring the home phone first). Other neat stuff is possible too. One of my coworkers has linked his home phone to his cellphone. When you call his home number, both his home phone and cell phone will ring, even when he is at work. Whichever device answers first gets the call.
