The next version of Call Control will have support for BroadWorks Anywhere settings and have also gotten a few other enhancements, such as

automatic refresh of the call log and the settings (useful if you use the app together with e.g. the BroadWorks Toolbar)

proper sorting of the Contacts

RO and DND indicators on the keypad

I would be happy with some feedback on this new version – if you are interested in trying it, I just need your iDevice’ UDID (it works on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad) -I will then email you a fresh copy along with a mobileprovision file.

An updated version of the call control app is now available at the App Store.

What’s new is

As usual – please do not hesitate to report any issue and suggestions for improvements are also always welcome….

I’m working on a version of the iPhone Call Control app with Remote Office support and “click to dial” from the call log; an initial version is ready but needs to be tested a bit. If you want to help, please send me an email – I need your iPhones UDID (can found in the Summary tab in iTunes by clicking the Serial Number when the phone is connected), so please send that along (to kim@winther.dk)

The UDID is a 40 character string like this:
270f8fcef05bb189dc9cad20c96ddc8a2e67283f

You can also use this free iPhone app –  it will help extract the UDID and create a mail with it.

Update: the new version also has dialing from a keypad and iPhone contacts…..

The call control app was approved yesterday and is now available at http://itunes.com/apps/callcontrol .

Call Control enables easy control of DND and Call Forwarding settings of your BroadWorks powered deskphone.
To use Call Control an account with a service provider that offers BroadWorks Assistant is required, specifically OCI-P access is required, and the account must include the following services

- Do Not Disturb
- Call Forwarding – Always
- Call Forwarding – No Answer
- Call Forwarding – Not Reachable
- Call Forwarding – Busy
- Basic Call Logs

Call Control has been tested with danish service provider fibertel.dk (using BroadWorks R14) and BroadSoft’s developer sandbox (running R17).

Got an iPhone app ready that enables easy control of Call Forwarding and DND settings for a BroadWorks phone account. Ping me if you would like to test it….

update: 20100530: it’s available on the app store now….
