Call Parking / Open Hold

A common feature request I have had over the years is a Call Park feature, and the usual stock reply to Can Swyx Do..... is NO! but...... of course this is software and anything is possible. I have seen a number of ways of implementing a call park feature some really clever ones that use the conference bridge facility in Swyx to some not so clever ones using analog adaptors to have live logged on extensions which are used to pick up from... sudu call park.   Before I saw the conference room

You want ME! to record the announcements ?

When it comes to setting up a script for a customer, when and how do the recordings get made ?   Personally I have no problem using my voice, I was a DJ for 20 years and been in telecoms for nearly 40 years the first 15 years being a service engineer for telephone answering machines.

SwyxIt - the best softphone in the world

When demonstrating to a new customer I always state the fact that SwyxIt is the best softphone in the world, then go on to demonstrate This is one way to actually make competetive products look incredibly inferior. For example the following are all working Swyx Skins.   But we should not simply replicate another manufacturers look and design, we should make something that delivers something that solves a "point of pain" for the customer. In other words a solution.   If you ca
