Hi all, hope somewhere maybe able to suggest an idea!
My dad runs a fishery that has an automatic gate for one of its sites it rents, you call the phone number to open the gate. (Your phone number has to be programmed into it for it to open)
The owner says it can only accept 20 or so phone numbers, so rather than my dad ring it every time a member wants to get in, (there’s approx 150 members) he wanted a phone that any member could call and that phone that was set up for the gate and would call forward and ring the gate number, thus opening.
Doing a bit of research, when call forwarding, the end user gets the original phone number, which is no use as the gate will reject.
Anyone got any ideas? Only thing that comes to mind is perhaps an app that will reject an incoming call, and call another number?
