Hello
3CX softphone app is great for making calls when out of the office - until you don't have a strong data signal. However, you may have a good cellular signal, just the data may be too slow or unstable. As such, I propose a "dial over cellular minutes" option for smartphone apps.
Here is how it works:
You dial a number
-App prompts "Cellular or Data"
--If choosing Data, than continue as it normally does.
--If choosing Cellular, than:
---3CX calls your cell number (mobile number in extension settings)
---3CX calls the recipient (number you dialed in the 3CX app)
---3CX connects the 2 calls together.
Viola! You are using cellular minutes, the call is passing through 3cx, the caller ID is the 3cx number, and the log shows up in 3cx.
This is kinda possible now by:
1) Call into voicemail system using cellular minutes (DID to voicemail or similar)
2) Do an outbound call from the voicemail system (has to be turned on)
But having it in the app, seemless, would be great.
