VOIP number + original number on same phone
I recently signed up for Sunrise's talk & more service. They sent me the Zyxel Prestige 2000 VOIP modem, and a new phone number for VOIP. I didn't expect to receive a VOIP phone no. The inconvenience is that my "computer room" in the house is where our upstairs phone with its built-in answering machine is. If I hook the phone up to the VOIP router, it uses the new VOIP number and I can't receive calls from the old no. on the answering machine. I could swap the phone+answering machine with the phone on the main floor, but I'd still lose the ability to answer my "old phone no." upstairs. Has anyone found a setup that lets them phone out on VOIP, yet receive calls on their old non-VOIP no.; on the same handset? Is there some kind of switch/adapter that I could just toggle when making outgoing calls?
