Hi, I am starting my business from another country in the United States and to seek help, i have to explain the whole situation. So the thing is, we are gonna remotely connect with the screens of restaurants located in US. Customer is gonna call to place an order either for pickup/delivery. I need to know how can i configure phones from that restaurant to my country so that when somebody calls on that restaurant i would be recieving that call here.

    Yeah, that’s a trivial thing to set up. Just buy SIP service from someone like and a local DID in the same calling area as the restaurant ($1.25/month). When they want you to handle their calls they just forward their main number to your DID and when they don’t want to send you calls they just unforward it. Could even program buttons on their phone to dial the vertical service code and number to activate and deactivate this.

    Why forward instead of porting the number? Well I assume the restaurant wants to keep ownership of the number and there is always the issue like the fiber optic link to Pakistan got severed by a fishing trawler or an earthquake.
