This isn't a spam. When I hooked up with Vonage last month, I was very disappointed to discover that the Click2Call feature was for Windows users only! I immediately set out to find a solution for Mac users.
After a bit of research (Obviously, this forum was part of it, but not available!), I discovered that some people over at MacOSHints came up with a script for Apple's Address Book which I modified and posted to support 7 digit, local phone numbers. While this was a great feature and sort of a solution, but not what Windows users seem to benefit from.
Some more research located a neat little application called MacDialer which dials from the Modem or Speakers with all the features of Click2Call, plus a few! It also supports scripts which made it easy to put Vonage dialing into it, but with the inconvenience of hearing it dial through the speaker as well.
I posted an email to the author asking if perhaps he could add Vonage support to MacDialer. I got an email back in a few minutes telling me he'd look into it. By the next day, he'd added Vonage to the next beta version, and after I sent feedback, he fixed the minor flaws and posted a great functioning beta version with full Vonage support!
Check it out! The shareware is minor and well worth it. |

Niether iAddressX or JPT offer the features of Click2Call. MacDialer works from any program, supports hot keys, a menubar icon and is tightly integrated into AddressBook. It will dial any selected phone number or even look up a selected name and call the phone number in the AddressBook!
These are the features I needed and wanted. None of the others offer that. |
