Flashphone and gtalk2voip

gtalk2voip

Flashphone is web-based SIP softphone, gtalk2voip is very interesting internet service allows users to:

  • Calling SIP phones and SIP services.
  • Receiving calls to your IM from any SIP phone.

with MSN, gtalk and Yahoo messengers. Both services are free. We’ve made some test calls and found it working very well. For example, if someone is online in Gtalk and you want to call him from flashphone you just need to enter SIP URI like sip:google_username@gtalk2voip.com and gtalk user will see incoming call. You also can easily call to flashphone from gtalk via gtalk2voip, add contact like [flashphone_login]_at_flashphone.ru@gtalk2voip.com and call to this contact, flashphone will ring if user online. If you remember our cool feature - CallMe widget, you can setup your widget to call directly your gtalk messenger if enter appropriate SIP URI as number to call.

P.S. We will continue our work with gtalk2voip to find new interesting features.

Google Chrome. New browser from Google

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Google makes very good internet applications and for good experience with their internet applications they decided to release their desktop application :) As we got flash-based service we were wondering if there was flash available in Chrome. And it’s available, looks like Chrome uses standart plugin used by Firefox, Opera and others. Another big benefit is SPEED. Chrome is very fast. No, really, I thought that Opera is fast, but Chrome is faster :) Even if you aren’t going to use it you have to install and take a look, as we see Google can make good desktop apps as well.

Flashphone AIR version released. The World’s first SIP softphone based on Adobe AIR technology.

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Many Flashphone users (about 75000 now) like our browser-based SIP softphone as zero downloads and installations are required. But if you are using flashphone to receive incoming calls it’s not always convenient, that it’s browser-based and for the people, who likes our service, we created AIR version of Flashphone. Now you can install it in few click with Adobe AIR runtime (if it’s not installed yet) and get real SIP softphone which works in the same way like browser-based one, but you can minimize it to system tray and be sure that you are online and ready to receive calls. Sure there are lot of things to improve in this version, so we are expecting feedback from our users. Here is Install badge: 

P.S. Forgot to mention - SIP providers accounts are to be added via web interface yet

Flashphone now supports RTMPE protocol. All your private data is encrypted.

Monday, September 1st, 2008

As promised we’ve updated flashphone service and now it supports encrypted connections to server. But if you want to use this benefit you need to have Flash player version 9,0,115 or higher, we recommend to upgrade if you have older one.

P.S. Flashphone continues to work with older versions of Flash player (starting from 9), but encryption isn’t available in this case. And don’t foget to clear your browser’s cache to let it download new version of flashphone ;)
