Web Callback

I have an ecommerce website. I would like to place a link there to so customers could "click to call" me. Seems like the Vonage click to call is halfway there...anyone know how to make this feature safe to include on a commercial website?

Oh, here's a link that shows how it might work. www.gphone.com/service/webcallback/index.asp

Please see the Vonage Click2Call Page for details on how to add a callback link to your website.

I have came up with a couple of ASP pages, one client side, one server side, that work with the click2callu service. The pages are simple and and feel free to "tune" to your need, but they allow users running IIS/ASP to have one page that is a form that a user enters a number they want to be called at, and then the server side page that takes care of the calling so your login name/password are never reveled.
I'm putting this here with a link back were you can download the files from since the last time I tried to put code on this site I was blocked. Feel free to change the script as you feel/need, or make improvements since I just finished it.

I've see examples on the https://secure.click2callu.com/ website for PHP and java, as well as a few others, but nothing server side/ASP based. So I wanted to make something available for everyone since it's included for free on most Wintel boxes for free. These pages are server side script processing so the username/password credentials are not seen. IIS is included on Win2000/WinXP systems and higher, so I’m figuring that some other users might appreciate the attached two ASP pages.

The first page Call VonageClientPage.asp.txt:
ftp://ftp.littleshack.com/call vonageclientpage.asp.txt

would need to be saved as just Call VonageClientPage.asp and placed on the webserver where an anonymous user has at least read permissions. The page is a simple html form that allows a user to input a phone number to be called back at. Once the user hits the “Call Me” button, the form is submitted to the server side VonageCall.Asp page.

The second page VonageCall.asp
ftp://ftp.littleshack.com/vonagecall.asp.txt

(again the VonageCall.asp.txt file needs to be saved to the same directory as the Call VonageClientPage.asp and renamed to just VonageCall.asp), is a server side ASP page will process the call via the click2callu.com web site. Once this page has “finished” executing, it will display whether or not the call was successfully placed or not.

The only changes that need to done in the VonageCall.asp page are to change the following variables: vonageusername, vonagepassword, and vonagephonenumber, to the correct ones:

strUserName = "vonageusername"
strPassword = "vonagepasword"
strFromNumber = "vonagephonenumber"

The vonagephonenumber can be found by using your example:

Get all the numbers you can use to place the call (the phone numbers in the specified users account).
https://secure.click2callu.com/tpcc/getnumbers?username=username&password=password

Where: username
The name that you use to log in to the Vonage dashboard

Where: password
The password that you use to log in to the Vonage dashboard

Just replace vonageusername with the login name you use to log in to the Vonage.com website, and the vonagepassword with the password you use to access the Vonage.com site. Leave the “ before and after the your username/password/phonenumbers.

The beauty of the VonageCall.asp script is that since its server based your username/password credentials are never viewed by anyone!

P.S. - I've tried to email the 3pcc@vonage.com email address, but it gets bounced back. If anyone knows who takes care of that page let me know since I have the scripts I thought that he/she may want to include on the site.

I tried to contact Vonage some time ago to get my C2C firefox extension listed as well. I was unable to get any type of response.

Thanks for posting!! ...the ASP solution did the trick. Now to tackle the larger issue of finding the right source for Virtual PBX features. Any ideas or experience there will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
