Ask your users if their kids use Steam. Most of my home users have older "kids" I tell them to have their kids stop there Steam games. The users are like what's that?? But as soon as steam is stopped their perfomance comes right back to nominal.

It would be them downloading more games, most likely.

There has never been a promise or timeline made for the mobile apps. Anyone expecting anything on that front is operating in their own little fantasy.

That's the main use case of softphones, though. Like 95% I would guess. Softphones for the desktop are way more niche.

I totally disagree. Softphone on the desktop is by far the largest user base thanks to call centers.

Softphone on mobile is a far second to that.

Maybe overall, but for FreePBX? FreePBX is pretty rare in call centers, AFAIK.

That's an idea. 🙂

@bigbear said in Need a full featured softphone:

Call disconnected when other extension picked up.

Sounds like no audio device present (e.g. sound card with autosensing but no microphone connected) then. Unless there is some late negotiation involved with direct rtp setup and no common codecs.

However it looks promising and is open source. I only messed with it for a few minutes.

Myths of VoIP:

No 911 Is not secure Requires dedicated Internet Needs special network configuration have to buy all new hardware (or any new hardware!)

Seriously? ...

Serious that those are myths of VOIP? yup. I hear those all the time.

Same here.

@thwr Just happened last night in fact when i gave a presentation to a SpiceCorp.

Really sad. But there are so many myths (and half-knowledge) in and around IT...

Seems to be the majority more often than not 😞
