Mobile Callback Feature Request
Hi!
I was asking myself why it is not possible to add ANY number to the mobile callback webpage. Why do I have to go online first and save the callback destinations? Just 2 empty entry fields would do the trick. Especially abroad, one could just go to a telephone booth or grab a local cellphone for placing the call and save roaming costs. It would also be very nice if one could trigger a call over SMS. Costs for sending an SMS are, specially abroad, much lower than the ones for data services. |

Not only a local cellphone - there are some SIM cards with free incoming calls in many countries But I disagree a bit about relative costs of sms and data; the latter costs only a couple of cents for a call trigger on Voxalot and a couple of others. |

Maybe you should look up some rates and find another SIM card.

Cost aside, sending an SMS is way way faster then using GPRS to login and initiate a call back, then logout etc. quite onerous, and beside using SMS can reach a much wider user base, those who has simple GSM phone.
I would have thought something line sending a string with your account number and the serial number of the call back set up, overall just about 8 digits, what could possibly be faster? |

SMS function would be nice for a callback system, sometimes when you are out and see a phone for example if i am in UK and want to call someone in Norway a sms function could be like this : voxalot 334455 pin 6543 callback 0044xxxxxxxx. dial 0047xxxxxxxx Text message sends to a voxalot database that makes a webcall This way would be great because sometimes you want to call back home and by dialing the number from UK to Norway would cost a lot but is cheaper to call when you have a Betamax product registered with a voxalot account |
