Shit I actually need to recover from the mass deplatforming campaign

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
To do that you'll need an SBC (session border controller) and a SIP trunk provider such as L3 or AT&T to provide you the pipe + phone numbers. Then you would need a piece of software to pick the call up, transcribe it, and send it as an email (digital voicemail is basically email on the back end). That's alot of gear and expertise for a single phone number, most people running that type of config are enterprises with hundreds or thousands of numbers. A 100% cloud service is preferable for a 1-number solution.
Oh, certainly, and it would be something like Asterisk you'd have to learn and configure. But at some point all the cloud services will fold because they're not required by law to offer and maintain service. I don't know if there are any landline providers that offer voicemail to email.

Maybe Ma Bell would work, but never tried it: https://www.att.com/support/article/local-long-distance/KM1047691/

Telephony is obscure tho, even to tech nerds, the chance anyone will dig that deep is remote. The maintenance required to maintain an SBC and Asterisk deployment for a single number is kind of ridiculous. Plus they can always go after the SIP trunk provider and looking up who owns what number is relatively easy.

Which is why I suggested a landline, not a SIP - bring the phone line into the machine with a TDM400 or some other ATA.

it's been a while since I worked with POTS but won't you need a physical address that's not a DC to terminate the line? Also companies like Audiocodes offer combined TDM gateways/sbc's that can do digital and TDM lines, so you could actually do both at the same time.
 
I'll throw you a bone for once, if you're really strapped for a PO Box I can open up one at my local post office and let you use it. It's fucked up what's happening to you and I'm surprised you still got stuff going smoothly like this. That is if such an arrangement is needed or even legally viable.
 
As for the EU adrress, if you got anyone in germany you can trust you can just have them receive physical mail for you in a post office.
This person can pick up that mail there and the sender only needs to know a pseudonym.

As for cancellation resistance, that service is free, the company offering it is Deutsche Post a subsidiary of DHL. So they are private, but postal service is regulated by the government so they might not be allowed to just quit on you.
 
I use Hushed for a telephone number anywhere - I use that to have a US number (I'm in the UK). No transcription that I know of.
I use ViaBox for a street address in Portland.
Google any virtual office service in the UK for mail forwarding - I've used various services, UK Postbox gives you a free address.

Problem with Viabox and UK Postbox is you pay per item, so easy for troons to abuse. Hushed, you could look at it being a mask before connecting to an alternative transcribe service maybe?

my employer uses ting as an isp and for the phones that they give us. i've never had a problem with their phone service, and they transcribe voicemail. they even use a capital "i" internet to promote themselves ... "We’re passionate advocates of the principles of net neutrality. We support a free and open Internet in word and deed. Ting will never block, throttle or otherwise interfere with the online access of our customers."
 
I wonder why iPostal1 isn't working with you anymore?

I use My traveling mailbox. Been a customer for three years, never had a problem with the service. I use them for my hobby collecting Third Reich militaria items, they have never said a word to me in the pass when I have them open my packages and condense items into one big box. $15 a month with two free months if you pay them for a year.
