Feature Request (Web Callback 2.0)

sunray73 · 12-18-2006, 08:15 PM

Why not? DID numbers are so easy (and free) to come by. The simplest method I think would be to use a free DID sip account like StanaPhone, once connected, enter in a 4 digit for which ever outbound sip you would like to use and volla... presto your connected. They do implement something like this on a Sipura 3000 but if you can cut out the middle man (being the sipura 3000 hardware) you got yourself one hell of a service...

Either way, I'm glad it's catching some attention here as this could really go from a great service to a service you can't live without (ehhmm... move over skype) If you can build this into your system, I guarantee you will change the face of telecom, voip, and mobile subscribers.

think bigger picture...

All there, Just to let you know that this service is available at www.easypabx.com ..(sorry administrator to spoil)
What exactly here is this:
You Dial your free DID number which points to a DISA.
The prerecorded message asks you for a pin.
You dial pin and get the dial tone.
You dial the desired number and the call goes through as per dial plan.
In fact if you combine this with callback then you have advantage of not paying for local call.
You ring the callback number and hang up.
The systems call you back via your VSP (which may be free), and connects you to DISA and then same as above.
Hope this help, and same Idea can be implemented in Voxalot.

(PS: EasyPABX will be closing their FREE service by end of this year)
Regards

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.

ummm... the point of this service is being "Free" so EasyPBX will have to sit in the corner with the other virtual pbx services out there for the time being. Love to see this implemented here though...

How about just using SMS to active WebCallback?

e.g. SMS to Voxalot
CALL ++1-415-345-6789

and it connects both legs.

But then you'd have to have mobile numbers or shortcodes for every country. If each user sets up their own DID it'd be much easier for VoXaLot to implement, wouldn't it?

That is true. Own DID is the easiest approach.

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.
