BETA Feature - Scheduling

[VOIPoTim]

We are pushing a new BETA feature for residential accounts today that allows you to schedule some of the features to be managed automatically.

Currently, Do Not Disturb and Forwarding are supported, but it's relatively easy to add others if there are others that would be useful on a schedule.

You simply set the date/time to run your scheduled task, when to stop it, and how you'd like the feature set after it's completed.

This uses the timezone set in preferences.

You can find it under BETA - Scheduling. If it's not there for you already, it should be within the hour.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you.

This feature should now be available on all VOIPo Residential Accounts -- listed under the 'Beta' tab. Let us know your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback.

You guys are fantastic!

Tim,
Could you add Sim Ring to the scheduled tasks as well?
IMHO, this probably the most useful/seek after feature

We can look into that for the future. The new Sim Ring/Call Hunt feature is being announced on Monday so wasn't included in this yet.

I agree with this idea since it will allow me to shut off my cell phone at night. I leave the simul ring on all the time so I now must turn off the cell ringer when I sleep.

According to Tim's post here -- http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1609&page=4 -- we might be looking at a "Press 1 to confirm" feature, which would also allow you to turn off your cell phone at night.

I hope it's possible to implement that so that the "Press 1" applies only to the cell phone but not to the home phone.

Very cool guys

It looks like a wake up call, or any other type of 'alert' call could be easily scheduled under this system. Just a thought.
