The present mobile system allows calls to numbers predefined in the phonebook, but not ad hoc calls to other numbers; that's the change I'd most like to see.
Please don't forget that some mobile SIM cards don't make outgoing calls and only use incoming callback themselves - the various global SIMs with free incoming calls in many countries None of the methods entering a PIN or the destination number either on callthrough or callback will work if DTMF does not - so sometimes it's useful to be able to enter the number in the call trigger system itself - i.e. perhaps a Java applet in the phone, as someone's subsequently put on another thread |
It looks like easypabx is closing their FREE service and is making offers to clients for PAID services. There doesn't appear to be any information on what might be on offer post 2006 at this stage.

How about just using SMS to active WebCallback?
e.g. SMS to Voxalot CALL ++1-415-345-6789 and it connects both legs. |

yep... DID would be the way to go. Just think of how much easier it would be traveling abroad. man... I would really love to see this one make it in this service. :D

I think I'm missing something about this DID suggestion, as I can't see it being more flexible or cheaper than other possibilities.
If people are talking about their own DID when abroad, do they mean set one up in the roamed country, or call one at home? As I already said, some carriers do not forward DTMF and some not caller ID, so some people would like to predefine destination number rather than enter it at a gateway. |

But like that you'd still pay the outgoing cost to the callthrough number. Or do you mean the DID is a callback trigger, in which case it doesn't matter where it is? Everyone so far seems to talking of it as a callthrough bridge :confused: Callthrough would come into reckoning if you have a lower tariff for an outgoing local call than the incoming cost of callback to the phone you're on. If it's a landline then that's less likely, and quite often callback is cheaper for mobiles too, and this escape from dependence on local operators' tariffs is probably why callback was invented in the first place. |
