VoiceServe announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, VoipSwitch now offers a Vippie softphone dialer for Apple iPhones, iPods and iPads. VoipSwitch’s softphone even enables iPad owners to use the tablet computer as a cell phone. The Vippie dialer requires access to the Internet and an account with VoipSwitch’s Call-to-PBX. Users are able to make and receive calls, use voicemail, dial from contact lists, record calls and more using the Vippie dialer.
The Call-to-PBX “iPhone softphone” is designed specifically to leverage the iPhone's unique capabilities on all its devices. The Call-to-PBX softphone works just like standard SIP softphones and features a sophisticated, yet simple to use, interface. Connectivity is either through 3G, Edge or Wi-Fi. Communication between registered users is free and the Call-to-PBX dialer can use contacts from the iPhone. The dialer shows the charge per minute when dialing a given destination and the time span of the call, and even the balance on the user’s account. It also maintains call logs with a capability to redial and provides direct access to voicemails.
