VOIP phone no auto answer

I have a Samsung G2 tablet (with no SIM, so no mobile number) and a Moto G phone. I have loaded the same auto-answer app to both. The tablet answers a VOIP call automatically, but the phone will not. The phone auto-answers a call to its normal mobile number OK, but not the VOIP.

So is there a way to stop what appears to be the mobile phone getting in the way of VOIP?

I also see a similar thing with a Bluetooth speaker phone and I wonder if it's connected. The BT speaker will not allow me to answer calls by hitting the answer button on the speaker and I am wondering if again the mobile is getting in the way of the3 VOIP stuff.

Anyway....any help appreciated.

That may be the issue, the mobile number works but any VOIP doesn't. I had setup Bluetooth with my vehicle and wanted to use my Google Voice number as main number, but BT only works with the mobile number and not GV. I haven't figured out how to make it work.
 
Thanks for the reply.

What I don't get is that the auto answer _does_ work on my non-phone tablet. I need to check the BT speaker on the tablet to see if that works. Surely if iut does there must be a way to get around the confounded phone app!
