Hi all,
so my wife and I just got a Pied-à-Terre (an apartment in the city) which either of us will be using at least 2 weeks outta the month. This apartment is in a gated community and the way letting in Guests/Visitors in past the gates is that there is a standard voice box with a keypad for cars to pull up right beside. The visitor dials either my apartment number or finds me via the directory by my last name and it rings a landline telephone that is connected in the apartment. I then simply press the number 9 and the gate at the front of the complex is suppose to open to let the visitor in their car.
The issue is my wife and I will only be in that apartment 14 days outta the month and wouldn’t want the telephone to ring incessantly when we are not there.
my first thought was ideally to find a landline telephone but turn off the ring feature (if even possible) but then I would need one that can vibrate, which I’m sure landlines don’t do.
heck, even perhaps having the call re-routed to my iPhone would be even better.
The goal is I just don’t want my phone to ring. Sometimes it’ll be my wife and I visiting the city together at the same time and other times she’ll have it for a week and other times it’ll be just me. I’m sure we’ll both be having visitors on an almost daily basis visiting us so we are expecting ppl to call from that voice box at the front of in order to get it frequently. But on the weeks we are 100 miles away we don’t want the landline within the apartment to just keep ringing randomly, which it may.
