There's now an option within the popup to 'Add to Contacts'!

Thank you!

If you leave a field open,
in my case the first time I left "Phone Type" blank,
there is no Contact added, and I did not see an error.

Once ALL fields are used - it works great.
Then in Call History, the custom ID replaces the CID - Awesome

Yes, I noticed the glitch when a field is left open.

Also, if you try to create a new "location" for an existing contact using the Call History -- I believe "Phone Type" in the Call History is intended to populate the "Phone Description" field in the Contacts data base -- what happens is that it creates a new contact, duplicating the existing contact. It does not create a new location for the existing contact.

I noticed "caller-id" and "mobile" have been added as new features to the vPanel Beta tab. The outgoing CID feature seems straightforward, but what is the mobile phone feature for?

Is the outgoing CID change immediate and does CNAM get transmitted as well? I would like to change it on the fly depending on who I call.

From my testing, whatever number is added as "Mobile", gets added to the drop-down list of numbers in "Caller-Id". But may be I'm missing something or its really not beta for nothing because I had trouble making calls when caller-id was set to any number other than VOIPo default.

One more suggestion about Call History.

For area codes that you know ...
Besides CNAM, perhaps include a State/City field?

Just seems like a bonus item, that adds some flair

Regarding the Virtual/2nd line upgrade, that has worked great for me -- no problems.

Regarding the Beta/Mobile and CID features, I can add mobile numbers on my primary line, but not on my 2nd line. The CID dropdown on both primary and 2nd lines consists of that one number only. I.e., my mobile number is not added to the choice. So these features currently do nothing for me.

Regarding the Call History/Add to Contacts feature, I found that I couldn't read the screen unless "Compatibility View" was turned off in my IE8 browser. However, "Compatibility View" needs to be turned on for the Voicemail page to work properly. I wish VPanel could be implemented so that the pages render consistently.

Regarding the Contacts page, there is a problem with the dropdown at the top which is supposed to show your various telephone numbers. It contains no numbers and is very long and narrow. It obviously is calling the wrong dropdown style.

Edit: I also just noticed that on the Call History page, the "Download All History" button works for opening the page, but not for saving it. I can always cut and paste, but I get an error when trying to Save.

Is the outgoing CID change immediate and does CNAM get transmitted as well? I would like to change it on the fly depending on who I call.

A brief description of each is as follows:

Mobile: Allows you to add mobile phone numbers in which they are authorized on your account to send SMS commands to our number in which will allow you to control your account.

Also gives you the ability to "Verify" a phone number, in which you will receive a call to the phone number you are verifying, and simply can do so by dialing the pin code you receive on the page to verify the phone number.

This then will allow you to automatically authenticate yourself into our VOIPo Connect number when you dial in and hit *.

This will also now place the verified phone number as an option to set as your outbound Caller-ID.

From my testing, whatever number is added as "Mobile", gets added to the drop-down list of numbers in "Caller-Id". But may be I'm missing something or its really not beta for nothing because I had trouble making calls when caller-id was set to any number other than VOIPo default.

We've found a slight BUG in this new BETA feature which for was causing issues when making calls. Please retest this feature as this issue should now be resolved, if it is not for you if you could please make the call and private message me a call from + call to + date / time of the call and I will further look into this for you.

Thanks!

Is this a per-fax charge? Or are you making it free?
Glad you are bringing this back!
