I only have one number allocated to me by my VoIP service provider and if someone phones that number my VoIP enabled phone will ring at my home. If I have Zoiper (hereafter Z ) on my PC will both my home phone and my PC ring at the same time and if the home phone is answered first will call on my PC then cease ringing ?


I have an android phone and have installed the Z app on the phone. If I have that app on my Windows PC as well and the call comes in to my one and only VoIP phone number what will ring? Will my home phone ring as well as my PC as well as my android cell phone and does the first entity to be used to answer the call terminate the call on the rest or what ?


My last question is whether both myself and my wife can have the Z app on our cell phones and what will happen if someone phones our one and only VoIP number. Will both cell phones ring or what ?

All you Qs should be addressed to your VoIP provider. Some allow phone extensions or sub-accounts setup via their website, so your Android Zoiper will answer after a desktop version or home phone is not answered for a set number of rings. Availability and number of such extensions (free or paid) depends on each VoIP provider, but your phone number usually remains the same for all ext, and they all are registered at the same time on the provider's server, meaning that dialing an extra ext number is not required, transfer is done automatically based on the rules you set in your acc. Your mileage may vary depending on the provider.

As to using a VoIP home phone and desktop versions at once, since they are usually connected through the same IP assigned by your internet provider, the chance is only the last connected device will ring, unless you assign separate exts for both. Meaning, when you start Z on desktop, the home phone won't ring anymore, since its registration with VoIP server will be superseded by the desktop app's. Again, YMMV.
