Has there ever been any discussion about creating an app for iPod/iPad/iPhone? I tend to be on my mobile device far more frequently than on a PC. It would make managing my account via the control panel much more convenient. Also, it would perhaps be better suited for handling the new text message feature. I suppose it would largely depend on the number of voipo users that have & use such devices.
Thanks

Rather than a specific app, if the web control panel were more "friendly" to mobile browsers, which it could auto-detect. that would be as good as an app. I have seen many sites go this way.
This is the direction we're looking at going in the future. We know that a mobile app is something there's a demand for and want to build one in the future. With that said, we are looking at likely just developing a nice slick mobile "optimized" interface for this so that it would be platform agnostic and work for all users rather than doing individual apps for iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc.Quote:

Just wondering, what would be the reasons to use VOIPo-specific app, as opposed generic SIP softphone? Other than, of course, being a blessed and supported by VOIPo, and not suspicious BYOD agent. But technically speaking, would there be any benefit?
I think the OP was talking mostly about an app to control the features. More of a control panel app than a softphone.
Oh, I see sorry - I misunderstood. Then I am with you: a mobile-friendly website is better than an app! But of course, a PC-friendly website is even more important! It's July already, so I am holding my breath ;)Quote:
