Currently 8 levels of verifications are supported for Member Aliases in the Australian Ecosystem :

  1. Phone Number - Call In
  2. Primary ISP - Browser Agent
  3. Email address - Mail Out
  4. Charge Card - Credit Card
  5. Identity Card - AU Medicare Card
  6. Photo Card - AU Driver Licence
  7. National Passport - AU Password

Guest Alias User

If the Destination Number entered is the mobile number used by the device, when there is an incoming Alias Phone call, the system will send two notifications to the device every time there is an incoming Alias Phone call:

  • The first notification comes from Caller ID +61499331111 which rings to the mobile number of the device. This is just to alert the user that there is an incoming Alias Phone call.
  • The second notification comes from the Home Assistant app where the user can select how to answer the incoming Alias Phone call.

To make calls to an Alias Phone, the caller needs to ring +61499331111, press 2 to dial a number and enter the 6 digit Alias Phone number.

Member Alias User

Users with a Member alias has the additional features of Private and Public where the user can subscribe to a Landline DID and/or a Mobile DID so callers can use these numbers to ring the Alias
Phone.

Example: if the Landline DID subscribed is 61733011843 then others simply ring this number instead of the shared +61499331111 number.

The monthly fee for the DID subscribed is debited from the account balance which can be topped up with a minimum of $10.

Users with a Member alias can also dial external numbers as long as there is sufficient phone account balance.
