Phone System

System:

HacDC is currently using three providers for the phone system. Google Voice - They provide the 202-556-HACK (4225) number. Twilio which allows dynamic scripting of your phone system through xml pages. voip.ms which is our SIP provider.

Calling HacDC:

If you dial 202-556-HACK, you will be routed through Google Voice to Twilio and connected to our IVR (options below).

If you contact us via [email protected] or [email protected], you will be routed through voip.ms which will connect you to our Twilio IVR.

We can also be reached via iNum +883-5100-09902515 or [email protected] SIP URI. iNum calls are routed through voip.ms and connected to Twilio. Due to most services not supporting iNum, iNum access is available through local access numbers in a number of countries. A list of access numbers is available at http://www.inum.net/what-is-inum-2/local-access-numbers/. An iNum number can be called from HacDC by dialing as a standard international number (instructions below in Phone System#Twilio IVR Menu:).

SIP Broker:

voip.ms supports a service called SIP Broker for making connections between SIP providers. To find out if a provider can be contacted via SIP Broker, check out their Provider Whitepages. To call a SIP Broker number from HacDC, dial **275-Provider access code (including *)-phone number.

Speed dials:

If a number will be called often or if people require access to a SIP URI, the Admin Team can create a speed dial which will be accessible by pressing #xx on the phone. voip.ms allows a total of 99 speed dials.
