Incoming calls through the bot
Incoming calls are received from @siptg account. A separate message containing the phone number (optionally also the name) of the caller will be sent simultaneously with the call. The message may additionally contain buttons for navigating through the voice menu (can be used in the voice menus).
Outgoing calls through the bot
To make a call, send the phone number in a normal message to the @siptg account. From there, depending on your settings, one of the options is possible.
Method 1: Call via Callback
An incoming call is received and you have to answer it. After answering it, a connection to the dialed number is started.

Robot @siptg calls you back immediately and sends you a DTMF keypad, which may come in handy when calling
Method 2: Call via Invite (default)
The bot will send a message asking you to make an outgoing call. Call the bot immediately as a normal Telegram user - it will connect to the number you just sent it.

Calling a second line and transferring the call
During the call, you can send a message to the @siptg account with the phone number to call the second line. You will receive a message with options.
Transfer - transfer the conversation with the other party to a colleague with the dialed number;
Switch - switch the other party "on hold" and connect to the other party by the second number (switching back is also possible).
After switching a new button Finish appears - if this button is pressed the conversation with the active party is ended, and the party on hold becomes the active party.
An incoming call during a conversation also falls on the second line. In this case there is another action - Reject: it ends the incoming call without interrupting the ongoing conversation.
