[asterisk-users] Softphone to be installed on the Mobile
Hi All;
Is there a softphone that can be installed on a mobile
(new mobile models), so it can work with Asterisk as
following:
1) As SIP or H323 client, with the ability to add
button functionalities (call pickup, call transfer,
...) so if there is a wireless network, then it can
use it to connect to Asterisk and work as client, but
from the Mobile.
2) If there is no wireless network, then it can
receive calls via the GSM (doing a special settings on
Asterisk to forward the call to the mobile number), so
he can receive the call and do the PBX functionalies
(transfer, pickup, forward)?
I saw this in AVAYA, AL Catel, Cisco, ...
Any help?
Regards
Bilal

They had a Bluetooth Dongle on their Asterisk box and when the Bluetooth enabled mobile came in range of *, calls would be routed to the mobile, once out of range, they would be routed to the Mobile phone number... For a softphone - I'd probably look for a Java based one. Don't most mobiles now run J2ME? HTH Alan -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com

Although the first company to produce an affordable IAX client for my Nokia E90 will get my money!) A lot of Nokia phones already have this in, and have had for some time. My E90 works OK with asterisk via Wi-Fi, but I've yet to be able to make it work via 3G...> 2) If there is no wireless network, then it can > receive calls via the GSM (doing a special settings on > Asterisk to forward the call to the mobile number), so > he can receive the call and do the PBX functionalies > (transfer, pickup, forward)?I can (& do) transfer my incoming number to my mobile, then it goes over the traditional GSM network to the phone, but one into that network, you're at the mercy of that networks functions, so if the GSM network (& the phone!) lets you do transfers, etc. then you can... My E90 appears to let you make 2 SIP calls and transfer one to the other, but I've just tried it and it crashed... Gordon

The phone should be able to switch from GSM to wifi when it detects a wifi network strong enough. Although wifi/wimax is probably a good thing, I've heard they are still not good enough (drain batteries since they don't know how to switch to stand-by mode, etc.)

Divitas Networks <http://divitas.com/> has an asterisk based solution that allows seamless roaming between the Wi-Fi and GSM network. An appliance connects to or is the PBX on the office LAN and a client runs on the smartphone. The appliance and client then coordinate which network to use based on signal strength and availability. -- Eric Chamberlain, CISSP Chief Technical Officer Voxilla - http://voxilla.com/> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of bilal ghayyad > Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 1:29 AM > To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com > Subject: [asterisk-users] Softphone to be installed on the Mobile > > Hi All; > > Is there a softphone that can be installed on a mobile > (new mobile models), so it can work with Asterisk as > following: > > 1) As SIP or H323 client, with the ability to add > button functionalities (call pickup, call transfer, > ...) so if there is a wireless network, then it can > use it to connect to Asterisk and work as client, but > from the Mobile. > > 2) If there is no wireless network, then it can > receive calls via the GSM (doing a special settings on > Asterisk to forward the call to the mobile number), so > he can receive the call and do the PBX functionalies > (transfer, pickup, forward)? > > I saw this in AVAYA, AL Catel, Cisco, ... > > Any help? > Regards > Bilal > > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > __________ > Get easy, one-click access to your favorites. > Make Yahoo! your homepage. > http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You can do SIP over 3G (and probably wifi if you got it), plus the most unbelievable thing - you can talk and chat over Skype.. Even on Symbian S60.. (i wonder if they reverse-engineered the protocol, or bought it from somebody) Just two disatvantages - half-second lag even over 3G (maybe my provider is too slow), and that the battery of my N70 got drained over half-day.. guess i just have to buy second charger for work, but this really rocks :) Regards, Atis > > On Nov 21, 2007 3:28 PM, Ricardo Carvalho wrote: > > Here's one sip softphone for mobiles you can give a try: > > http://www.minisip.org/ > > > > Regards, > > Ricardo Carvalho. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- > > > > asterisk-users mailing list > > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > -- Atis Lezdins VoIP Developer, IQ Labs Inc. atis at iq-labs.net Skype: atis.lezdins Cell Phone: +371 28806004 Work phone: +1 800 7502835 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Over 2 Million Holiday Gift Ideas - Take a Look! mail.com shopping at http://mail.shopping.com/?linkin_id=8033174 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
