We're going to be announcing some new features/enhancements in the next few days.
Anyone care to speculate what's coming?
Ability to add phone number to contact list from the call log?
Final Simul Ring & Multiple Emails for Voicemail with easy on/off?
Change Greatings on the fly from vPanel, not call in to voicemail?
SOME KIND OF VOIP CLIENT FOR iPHONE? (is that vPanel????, na)?
iPBX features?
VOIPo connect, mutiple simul ring numbers, and a new improved time out for vpanel logins (like never times out....).
Ok so my list is 75% of my wish list. Sue me. You know your dieing to tell us.;)
EDIT- HMM Brandon already fixed Vpanel (I think.. have not tested it) so scratch that.
Oh, and a Call Record feature that works?
I was not aware call record did not work. What is wrong with it?
Edit off topic but Tim did you know that support tickets are getting emailed displaying html tags?

Busy- and No-Answer forwarding?
The ability to add contacts from the call logs?
Ask a question like that, and you're going to get a wish list. :)
You'll want to shoot in a ticket (if you haven't already) to our support team if you're experiencing issues; we have had few reported problems with the beta recording feature (most of which have been issues where the attachment coming in via email is larger than the user's mail server is willing to accept).
Free long distance to countries around the world like Vonage just announced it was going to do? ;)
I veto that. Nothing is free. If it costs VOIPo we customers will end up paying for it and I don't want to subsidize those who want it. There are plenty of inexpensive plans for those who care about such things. Or, if you think your usage is going to be off the wall, join Vonage or some big company which can afford to take a hit or two.
Simulring to multiple numbers? Find-me forwarding? Voicemail-only option for Express accounts that can be setup without going through support? :)
Veto it all you want. Tim asked for speculation, and I jokingly gave it to him. This thread is about Voipo customers speculating on new features/enhancements.
Secondly, I came from Vonage and am a very happy Voipo customer. Speculation is what he wanted, and that's what I gave him.
Wild speculation. Nothing I know about.
Canadian Residential accounts
- Not just add-on virtual numbers.
- Low introductory promo pricing
(Canadian billing address needed.)
Cell-Canada-Connect
- An agreement with major USA cell companies to hand off calls
to VOIPo to complete calls to Canada.- Also sold as a metered service for people without VOIPo Residential.
Cell-USA-Connect
- An agreement with major Canadian cell companies to hand off calls
to VOIPo to complete calls to the USA.- Also sold as a metered service for people without VOIPo Residential.
VOIPo-Screen-Connect
- A device that streams your VM in real time by pressing "LISTEN".
- Allows the call to be answered by pressing "CONNECT"
(The device says "Stand by, connecting", and re-rings your VOIPo number.)
- Can also direct play messages from VOIPo VM,
- Pressing "CONNECT" wile hearing the message will call the CID.
Nationwide network of Voipo Connect numbers - a local call from at least the top 100 'markets' (at least one location per state)...
Enhancements to DND/Simulring to allow 'emergency override' and 'call confirmation', respectively. In other words, active DND sends incoming calls to a recording where the caller can choose to go to voicemail or override DND and ring the Voipo phone (Voipo user would have to enable 'emergency override' feature). Call confirmation would be that if simulring is active and an incoming call is 'answered' by the simulring target phone, the person answering the phone would have to press 1 to accept the call (to ensure that a human has answered and not a VM system). More than one simulring target, too. :)
Call logs - cumulative stats (e.g. total inbound, total outbound, aggregate total) for range of calls displayed... (I thought usage totals were on the call logs, but I haven't seen them recently.)
vPanel enhancements - more up-front documentation/context-sensitive help integrated into the feature screens...
Other DND enhancements: Scheduling, 'countdown' (e.g. start DND for the next 3 hours, after which it turns off automatically)
Easier-to-use Contact management system in vPanel?
:)
- Streaming music and video to the display on your phone
- The ability to "beam" the caller to the callee, and vice versa
- Health care reform
A solid MWI that goes off once the message is deleted?
Peace in the Middle East?
Call recording has never worked for me. I did some troubleshooting with you in the forums a while back
(see http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.p...=record&page=2)
and I just submitted a ticket on it (Ticket ID IFX-260757).
Stop teasing us and spill the beans Tim. I know its eating at you. You can not wait to tell us.
I found another one, I think. When you click on a call in the call log, it now shows the number in addition to the name. That is something I have wanted but have forgotten to mention. Thanks.
Another one, and this one is really good! Go to the Beta panel and take a look. Hint: it's a new menu item.
The cats are jumping out of the bag.
Can this feature be undone if you don't always want that?
All I want for Christmas is Call Blocking By NAME :)
I mean it's amazing that we can block calls by number, but not by name. It doesn't have to work perfectly, since some calls don't pass CNAM info, but I'll take a BETA version !!
Edit: Imagine the press you would get by being the first company to have Call Blocking By Name ;)
Tim, this is a terrific feature, and one that I have really wanted in order to replicate the setup I had with my (much more expensive) previous provider.
A couple of small points:
The second line will not take an E911 address. Is it set up to simply use the address for the primary line? In an emergency, if I inadvertently call 911 on line 2, I want to be sure my address will be sent.
Line 2 does not recognize the contact list from Line 1, which is fine. It sure would be nice, however, if there were a way to export and import to and from the contact list to avoid all that reentry.
Thanks.
Edit: Strike point #1. The address info is now showing up on Line 2.
Not only simulring, but multiple numbers with simulring!
I found a little glitch on VPanel. If you go to the contact list, the dropdown box at the top for showing the primary and secondary lines is very narrow and is empty. I don't know what that's about.
There are still some other things not mentioned here. We're getting them all in place and will likely make the announcement tomorrow.
Another request: Now that I've separated my primay and virtual numbers into line1 and line2, I no longer have a distinctive ring option for line2. Would it be possible to include a control for "Default Ring Pattern" for each line? Thanks.
Agree on free international. I have never made a call outside the U.S. in 30 years, o.k. maybe Puerto Rico or Canada. International should be an add on to keep the U.S. calling costs low.
When trying the beta call record, I dial *28nnnnnnnnn and it gives me a busy signal type sound. I will send a ticket in. I just thought it didn't work yet because it is under beta tag in vpanel. Thanks.
