Hi,

is possible to chat with others users with 3CX Softphone?

I know is possible with Myphone, but the Softphone do that?

If not, can be implemented in future?

Thank you.

Sorry, what do you mean by "chat". Do you mean, something like an instant message service or Skype? It is a SIP based phone, so you can call others that are using a SIP device.

Leejor,

I mean instant message. Bria for example support it.

Are you talking about SIP SMS?

You could always suggest that in http://3cx.ideascale.com/ and see what happens

Hi
Perhaps in the future - technically speaking, 3CXPhone supports MESSAGE, and even has a "hidden" feature allowing sending text messages, but this feature is not finished yet. Also, it receives MESSAGEs, but only ignore them.

Leejor,

I´m not talking about SIP SMS. Even, where I work the softphone can do this and is interesting:

I work with receptive telemarketing (no 3cx system, the company works with Dígitro - http://www.portaldigitro.com.br/pt/), and when we will transfer some call and the extension is busy we just talk with the people by chat.

Where I work we use Microsoft Lync, but for home user and small business is interesting to have another way to talk in this case and not need to install another software to do just it (seems simple to do).

Pure chat - let's name it like this - is not in our plan to be implemented as a feature of 3CXPhone. After all, its purpose is to be a standard SIP phone, nothing more.

WOw

But 3CX My Phone support it, so, why 3CX Softphone can´t?

Hi

I already answered you: 3CXPhone is intended to be only a standard SIP phone. 3CX MyPhone and its predecessor, 3CX Assistant, aren't, both are, let's say, call operators. That's why, long time ago, we separated some features to go to 3CXPhone and some to Assistant - according to their specific purposes.
