Time for an Independent Click to Call app

I loved Click to Call (C2C) when it worked, but since I moved to the RTP300, it doesn't work anymore and I have lost that functionality. It used to bug me that who ever wrote the app didn't bother to write the extra 5 lines of code to handle alphanumeric vanity number or to make it work with international dialing, but I lived with that because the basic functionality worked.

Now I see that there is an open web-based api for initiating calls. I am surprised that no enterprising programmer has written a better, more functional app that takes advantage of this to replace the Vonage C2C that doesn't work. I haven't written code in years, so I am not volunteering for the job, but there are enough of you coders out there to take up the challenge.

Actually Vonage never wrote the click2call extension. It was written by a Vonage Voip forum member.

Nevertheless, it seems that this application is not being maintained. There a slew of useful features that could be added. I think that someone out there would be inerested in the challenge of writing another application that would build on and improve the current one.

I personally dont like the way it comes up as C2C18132728000 or whatever...wish the CID info would come up as normal. Other then that it seems to work great for me. I never use it because I forget I have it installed Very Happy

Hmm... I'm not sure why, but C2C works fine with my RTP300... it didn't used to, but in recent firmware versions it does seem to work fine. That said, I usually just reach over the phone & dial. Takes me less time to dial by hand than click, paste, etc.

Yeah...it does seem quicker to just dial the number yourself Smile

Why would you post that big bag of shwag?

To indicate the laziness to click2 call and the reason for manual dialing Very Happy

There is another app that a friend of mine wrote. It's called Dragon Dialer. Although it isn't free. I don't know how well it works, as I don't use it. It allows dialing from IE, outlook and the startbar.

It's available on download.com

Im sure you could find a crack/serial for it somewhere on the net.
