How to Answer Landline Calls on Mobile

‘But isn’t is possible to answer landline calls on our mobile phone, which we always have in our pocket?’ you may ask. And the answer to that question is ‘absolutely’, it’s more than possible and it doesn’t even require owning a VoIP subscription.

Traditional call forwarding

For analog phone system users, the only option of answering landline calls on a mobile device is traditional call forwarding. Unlike its VoIP counterpart, however, this feature is quite limited – since it completely turns off the option to receive calls on the desk phone – and has to be activated and deactivated manually by using special dial commands.

Invoxia Voice Bridge

Compared to traditional call forwarding, Invoxia’s plug and play solution, the Voice Bridge, is simple to use and brings the same advanced call forwarding experience that VoIP users enjoy to analog phone service subscribers.

Basically, the Voice Bridge is a router that connects the phone line to the internet and turns up to five Android or iOS devices into a virtual extension of your landline thanks to the dedicated Voice Bridge app. Due to this, desk phones and the mobiles will ring simultaneously with incoming calls, while users are also allowed to place calls from the Voice Bridge app using their landline ID. And if that’s not enough, the service is capable of sending push notifications to a smartphone should there be any missed calls or new voicemail messages.
