3-Way , Call Waiting And HOLD

Post by zo3bi »

I know 3-Way calling is possible with an ATA device but these suggestions are for the softphpone.
It would be nice if it was possible to put an active call on hold. 3-Way calling HAS to be added to softphone lol. And well, Call waiting is needed for the hold and 3-way calling soo, yeaah .

I really hope these features are added.

Thanks for the AWESOME service!

Should be added in the near future actually! We just had a discussion about this a couple weeks ago :)

My advice is that the softphone should be used only to market the "real"thing. If the softphone has all the capabilities of an ATA why bother buying an ATA and configuration file. FPL is losing much money over this.

Having similar functionality is not a bad thing, the main difference between the software and an ATA or IP Phone is the physical diversity. With the software phone you must have your computer on all the time to receive or make calls, whereas with an ATA or other device you can attach regular handsets to it.

They're still on the programming slate, unfortunately I couldn't tell you an ETA at this time though
