The winner of the accolade – presented to the company which the judging panel deems provides the best service for small and medium business users – will be announced at an awards ceremony in the iconic BT Tower in London, on Monday, March 7.
Quick one to say we've just signed our BT VoIP interconnect contract and paid up our setup fee. Now on to interop testing then hosting of our Ofcom number allocations!
The iPhone 4, which was officially unveiled on the June 7th at a presentation in San Francisco, includes several new features that will benefit VoIP users. These are touted as:
Multi-task when making a VoIP call, so customers can access other applications, such as a calendar, during a conversation.
Built-in noise cancellation to eliminate background sounds when making VoIP calls.
Videoconferencing will also be possible between iPhones via the Face Time feature, allowing remote employees to partake in business meetings.
Longer battery life, while the screen resolution has been significantly improved compared to previous models.
The iPhone 4 will be available in the UK from June 24th.
Wow you may think this is amazing, but all these features have been available on Android phones (Google's Open Source mobile operating system) for ages. I've just got an HTC Desire from O2 and it's the No.1 phone in the world right now. It can do all of above and more, plus the Sipdroid VoIP client is free and works on 3G and WiFi using our VoIP services or anyone elses. Best of all it's free software and just works.
"Through a bevy of handset makers, Android can offer a variety of phones that will make it difficult for
Apple to beat with just one hardware release a year. While it is hard to
ever go wrong with an iPhone, Android offers a ton of alternative form
factors, price points and carriers: Sprint (NYSE: S) has released the
first 4G phone on Android; T-Mobile has a new competitive Android phone
with a slide-out keyboard; the HTC Incredible sold by Verizon has been
flying off store shelves; and even Google’s Nexus One still boasts some
of the latest hardware. Not to mention new Android phones from Samsung

Just a quick one to say that when you think you need Asterisk for a customer request, sometimes you don't!!
A question from a customer yesterday:
Do you know of an IP desk telephone that can be used on a
hotline/autodial/PLAR type basis? Ie pick up one phone and the other
rings, etc.
Tricky bit... no call manager of any sort in-between... just the
phones
direct on the network.
Aastra to the rescue!!! Any of the new 67XXi ranges have a feature either per line or globally like so:
Autodial Settings
Autodial Number
Autodial Timeout
Simply add an IP address in the Autodial Number field for line 1 and when you pick up the handset it dials the other phone on that IP directly. No need to put Asterisk in between or any other system, other than pure IP.
Nice!
P.S. I'm sure most of the business grade IP phones out there can do the same.
