[AusNOG] MMS + SMS to email with Calls to SIP

[Stephen]

Hi John,

They are particularly keen on keeping their numbers - will the redirect 
cover SMS/MMS as well, or only voice? Additionally they want to keep 
receiving calls on these same numbers, so it may not work - but 
nonetheless, still keen to hear your response.

As far as for received calls, they would be looking to actually receive 
and talk with someone - either by redirect to another number, or by 
actually receiving the call on a SIP trunk etc. Unfortunately sounds 
like it may not work with you guys in this instance, but if not, will 
definitely file it away for future reference :) Thanks!
