Hi all,

Hope you’re having a great year too? With 2012 almost coming to an end it’s time to just summarise where we are and what’s been happening in our world of VoIP.

We’ve now doubled our VoIP capacity with BT wholesale again to meet upcoming business in 2013. What else? Here’s a quick list as I know you’re very busy:

  • We have secured funding from the Scottish Business Gateway for a new business plan and sales and marketing work. This is paving the way for us to develop our own ISP related to VoIP in 2013. It is also helping with a new marketing video, website revamp, better purchase experience so your products are instantly live and a new customer and partner portal (plus other things)
  • We’ve joined RIPE - those techies of you will know this is the first step to running your own Broadband and other connectivity products
  • We’ve entered the ITSPA Awards again have high hopes we’ll win it
  • Our iPhone app is getting shown to us this month which is being developed in partnership with RGU
  • We’re closed for Christmas (I hope you are too)
  • We’re launching a brand new conferencing and web meeting product (more this month but it is a real game changer)
  • We’re moving office so we can accommodate more staff
  • We’re working hard on the most requested feature which is call packages
  • The SureVoIP API developer portal will be ready after the new year
  • SureVoIP partners are using the API in some cool ways
We’ve a couple of press releases out before the year end so keep an eye out. How has your year been?

Thanks,
Gavin.

P.S. Have you seen our SureVoIP 5 star reviews?

Hi All,

Today we’re starting a new series of blog posts covering terms and features of SureVoIP products and services (and VoIP in general), going through the whole alphabet and numbers 0 to 9 (geeky reference to regular expressions in programming).

We may do a few days of the same letter or number if we think there are so many to cover! So, here we go:

Attended Transfer

An attended transfer is when you consult with the person you are transferring the call to before completing the transfer. This allows you to inform the person of who the caller is, and determine if they can take the call.

To transfer a call that is currently active, press the transfer button on your phone, then dial the extension you are transferring to. The target extension will ring. Once the target extension picks up, you can consult whether the target extension wishes to take the caller.

To complete the transfer, press transfer again.

If the person at the target extension does not with to take the call, press the cancel button. The original caller may still be on hold, to retrieve the call, press resume (Some phones may need you to press the Line 1 button).

On phones that do not have a transfer button simply dial *1 instead.

Some phones may say Xfer or TRAN instead of Transfer or have an icon showing a phone with the receiver lifted and an arrow pointing away. Refer to your phone manual if you are unsure.

You can also find this on our Hosted VoIP Reference Guide.

Thanks,

Gavin.
