National Access Phone Numbers

A special feature of Net2MAX Access Phone Numbers is the availability of National Access Phone numbers as well as City based Access Phone Numbers.

To have wide geographical coverage, it is inconvenient to give out a large number of different City Access Phone Numbers in different cities. With National Access Phone Numbers you can give out Access numbers for whole countries instead of individual cities.

There is a single phone number across the whole nation (rather than per city) so the National Access Phone Numbers are much easier to remember and give out to people.

For example, in Australia, people simply need to ring the Australian National Access number 138813 and enter your phone number. They will then be able to talk to you with the cost of a local call - wherever they are in Australia.

A National Access Phone Number can result in substantial costs savings. In Australia 138813 is available for people to contact you toll-free at a tiny fraction of what you will pay with a standard 1300 or 13 number.

Currently available National Access Phone Numbers are:

    Australia (+61) 13 88 13
    United Kingdom (+44) 800 081 1838
    United States (+1) 888 886 1899

National Phone Numbers are easy to remember number for the whole country, for long calls (more than 15 minutes) it is more economical to give out individual City Access Phone Numbers for each city - which give local call rate to phones ringing in from that city.

International Access Phone Number

Net2MAX has a single International Access Phone Numbers to give callers ONE Access Phone Number across MULTIPLE countries.

The single International Access number is +800 4455 1234.

Using International Access number is the same as using any Access Phone Numbers. The callers simply ring in and then enter your phone number to get in touch with you.

The + in the +800 4455 1234 number means that the caller has to enter the IDD prefix of their telephone company before entering 800 4455 1234. The IDD prefix is not optional and must be entered. However, the caller will NOT be charged any IDD or long distance fee. The call will either be completely free or toll-free (only local call fee).

The International Access Number is very useful for short calls and for ringing in to find out the City Access Phone Number or National Access Phone Number of your local area when you are overseas.

Internet Access Phone Number

People with Internet-connected computers can call you worldwide without paying a cent. You can give callers worldwide FREE voice access to you through their Internet-connected computers.

You can of course use the same Internet Access Phone Numbers yourself to access Net2MAX for free.

There two types of Internet Access Phone Numbers, the Web Button and the Internet Phone.

Internet Phone

There are an increasing number of Internet Phone hardware and software deployed around the world. Most of those users can contact you from their Internet Phones for free.

Access Phone Number currently supports the SIP protocol as standard, with optional H323 and IAX support.

For those without Internet Phone, free Internet Phone software can be downloaded from the Internet which gives caller a phone look-alike dial-pad interface on their computer. They just enter your phone number on the dial-pad to make a call to you.

Web Buttom

It is not always convenient to have to install Internet Phone software on computers into order to call you (say whe the caller is in a public Internet cafe). In those cases the Web Button will be useful.

People surfing the Internet from anywhere in the world can go to a web page click on the Web Button there and enter your phone number. They are then connected to your predefined phone number. Suddenly people with Internet connection around the world can call your phone for free using their computers from a web page without need of installing .

Intelligent Backend

All Access Phone Numbers (City, National, International or Internet) have the same intelligent backend that handles all incoming calls. Once the callers ring in, they will be asked to enter a phone number. If the phone number is 899 followed by your OZnumber then they will be transferred to your Internet Phone. If the phone number is 898 followed by your OZnumber then they will be transferred to your Web PABX.

The intelliegnt backend supports the entering of standard IDD phone numbers (beginning with full country code and area code) in order to make calls to Normal Phone numbers. For example, entering 61292176000 will ring a Sydney phone numebr while 85223120180 will ring a Hong Kong phopne number. But in this case, Net2MAX will ask for Caller Identification (ask for OZnumber and PIN) so it can charge the outgoing call to the caller.

Trusted Phone Numbers

You can define trusted incoming phone numbers so when the Access Phone Number receives calls from these trusted phone numbers then it will by-pass the standard identification processes.

You can optionally select from the web which Access Phone Number identification process to by-pass. Currently, trusted phones can by-pass the identification processes in two instances:

  1. Phone Number By-Pass for Web PABX will allow callers from the trusted phone numbers you have defined to go straight to your Web PABX, without Net2MAX having to ask them for a phone number (like 898...).
    So, if they ring the Access Phone Number in Australia (138813) they will NOT get Net2MAX asking them to enter another phone number - they will be transferred to your Web PABX directly.

  2. Caller Identification By-Pass for Dial Out will allow callers from the trusted phone numbers you have defined to make calls to Normal phone numbers, without Net2MAX having to ask them for login (supply OZnumber and PIN).
    So, if they ring the Access Phone Number in Australia (138813) they will still get Net2MAX asking them to enter a phone number - but if they do enter a Normal Phone number (like 61292176000 or 85223120180) then they will be transferred to the phone number directly - no login required.

Self Selection

A major advantage of Net2MAX is your ability to pick your own phone number. You can make it the same as your normal phone number (mobile or landline) or any other easy to remember or well known number.

The phone number your callers need to enter after dialing into the Access Phone Numbers is simply your OZnumber with either 898 or 899 and your Area Code added in front. Say your Area Code is 060 and your OZnumber is 12345 then your phone numbers are 89806012345 (for your Web PABX) and 89906012345 (for your Internet Phone).

The Area Code is OPTIONAL in your home country (which has a single Net2MAX Area Code) so if you belong to the Australia Net2MAX Area (060), then people there just can dial the Australian Access Phone Number 138813 and then just enter 89812345 rather than 89806012345 to reach you.

Reduce Costs

Traditionally getting a Toll-Free phone number (e.g. 1300 xxx xxx or 13 xx xx in Australia) is very expensive and is out of reach of most organisations and businesses.

With Access Phone Numbers, due to its shared nature and the fact that the Internet is used for the transport of voice, toll-free phone numbers are now accessible to anyone from small businesses to teenagers.

With Computer Access the cost is reduced even further. This is very useful for friends far apart to keep in touch in the most cost effective way. There is no need for the receiving party to have a computer or Internet connection - just any phone will do.
 
4. 

Expand Reach


Having a toll-free number expand the reach of a business by offering its remote customers the ability to contact them without having to pay toll.

This is particularly important for web-enabled businesses since their web sites are accessible by people near and far, basically all around the world.

For example web sites for export business can allow overseas customers to call them free via the Internet.
 
5. 

Controlled Spending


Access Phone Number is perfect for parents who want their children to contact them toll-free from far away. The same applies to employers who want their staff to keep communication with the head office under effectively controlled costs.
 
6. 

Easy Modification


Unlike traditional 1300xx or 13xx numbers which is very expensive and deterrent to change. The "target" phone numbers for OZtollfree can be changed by the OZmember quickly at anytime from the phone or web.

This is very useful for travellers who are moving around and changing phone numbers all the time. People can just ring their OZnumber and get connected to whatever phone number the traveller selects.
 
7. 

Protect Privacy


Yet another use is for people who want to protect their privacy. For people to contact them via the phone, their real phone numbers are never given out, only their OZnumber.
 
8. 

Ring Computer


Not only can toll-free calls be made from either phones or computers, but the destination of the call can be phone or computer as well.

The receiver simply runs an H323 compatible client on the computer he is using and he will be called along with normal phone numbers in the order as defined by him to OZtollfree.
 
9. 

Receive Report


All toll free calls to the OZmember are logged and a report will be sent to the OZmember's email address.

OZmember will know the time of the calls and whether the calls were successful and so on.
 
10. 

Define List


The OZmember can define a list of phones and computers for the incoming OZtollfree calls to ring one after another.

Note the computers need to have a H323 compatible client running. OZtollfree will automatically detect which computer the OZmember is using and ring that particular computer.

This mixed computer and phone preference list can be modified at any time via phone or web.
