Simultaneous calls coming in?
 

I have Google Voice forwarded to Gizmo5, Skype, and T-Mobile. When someone calls my Google number, all 3 calls come in almost simultaneously. Is there a way to choose which service to answer?

Remove forwarding to two of them? :)

I also find this annoying with having SIP and Skype configured.

I can't believe Nokia did not think of this possibility. Surely its a no brainer that some time you might get a call from multiple services at the same and that one might be your private line and the other your business, so you would need to choose which you answer.

still, loads to do for nokia. it's a very basic problem, and it's overlooked. waw, cant call this device a phone.

Just for reference, you could describe how your current phone(s) handle situations like these?

ha, they do not, ha

j2001m is right. My Windows Mobile phone had a Skype client but I rarely used it because it played out of the rear speaker so there was no privacy. I will post this in brainstorm tonight. The only UI design I can think of is have multiple green answer buttons under the picture. One labeled "SIP", the other labeled "CELL", and so on. If you have any thoughts or ideas, please post.

Ah yes but which answers when you press answer? Surely one of them does, although how it decides which is anyones guess.

I can't think of a better solution either.

There should be some sort of prioritization and default setting. I don't like having to choose SIP for every call, either, but can't find a default calling setting.

Does the incoming call show multiple calls coming in?

Re: Simultaneous calls coming in?
 

Incoming call does not show multiple. It only shows the first one it receives. A default service would be ok for some, but the problem I have is slow internet at home. I would have to disable the default because my upload speed and latency is too slow to support VOIP. When I am at work, SIP is prefered because of an open firewall. When I am on a public network, Skype seems to do the best through a firewall. A possible solution would be for the client to poll the server and measure a virtual signal strength and then decide which one to use. I don't know what that would do battery life. Use GPS to decide?

users should be able to choose which call they want

I don't know, but could this in the long run perhaps be something for what I suspect might become my favorite application: Shepherd?

Attila? :)

Re: Simultaneous calls coming in?
 

Now that I have my N900, I'm running into this problem, too. I always get the SIP call in first, and the 3G call shows as "missed call".

There's nothing wrong with this as long as I'm home (Wifi) and plan to stay there. But it's not always ideal when you're out and your internet-/voip connection is 3G... or you change between access points. I need to manually connect/disconnect from my sip account, depending on where I am. Of course I forget.

Is there a solution that works right now or do we need to brainstorm?

Re: Simultaneous calls coming in?
 

i always am getting the gv calling on my mobile number and not my SIP number :(
Pretty annoying now. pretty much wasted the time on sip setup to get this feature and now i see it doesnt work.

instead of talking about this you should vote for it or make new solutions ;-)
