Flaphone in ChromeOS. First VoIP client is already in place.

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Hello. As you maybe now Google released first ChromeOS version yesterday. We have tested it and found that Flash Player 10.0.32.18 has been built-in. And yes, that means that Flaphone works in ChromeOS, so we already have VoIP client available for new OS! I remind you that you can use Flaphone to make VoIP calls to PSTN/Mobiles using any SIP provider you want,  make calls to Skype or SIP, callme widgets will also work in ChromeOS. Great news! Flahpone in ChromeOS

Flaphone updated

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Flaphone webservice was updated today and we are glad to present some new features for our users. Now we got more than 110K registered users and we hope that they will like our update. We’ve added themes support, so you now can choose between Black and White themes, in the future we will add additional themes, maybe users will provide us with some new ideas about colors, icons, etc. It’s always better when you have the choice ;) Black flaphone themeWhite flaphone theme I like White even more than Black… Ok, the next improvement is more advanced instant messaging system with styles and smiles, most people like to see smiles as images :) To improve usability we added number type called “flaphone”, if you want to add another flaphone user to contact list - you need to use this type for now. And the most interesting feature of the release is File Transfer support. Now you can send files to each other if both have flash player 10 installed! For testing purposes file size is restricted for now (you can transfer files up to 5 MB), but later when we add P2P support we will remove the restriction. file transfer . It’s all for now, stay tuned and you will see new interesting features in the fututre.

Calls to Skype are now available

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Now every flaphone user can make a call from flaphone to skype. You need to enter sip:skypeusername@skype (Example - you need to call skype user with username james - it will be sip:james@skype) while none(global) account selected for outgoing SIP calls and press the call button, skype user with skype_username will see incoming call from Flaphone. You can also use this feature for your CallMe widgets in the same way. We are testing this feature, so we need to have your feedback.

P.S. It will work if you are calling to Skype user who allows to receive incoming calls from skype users that aren’t in contact-list
