feature-rich dialtone for your SIP hardware or softphone...

Plug-n-Dial

Hardware Manufacturers and Software Developers

Free phone number

Every client (hardware or software) is issued a free SIPphone number within seconds of installation. Your customer can hear their SIPphone number read to them by our system at anytime by simply dialing "**" on their phone.

While Plug-N-Dial numbers default to a US formated 1 (747) XXX-XXXX, they can be easily configured for international markets. By using number plans in the same format as PSTN numbers, consumers are comfortable with their number, and Plug-N-Dial numbers work with PSTN peering relationships.

Plug-N-Dial numbers are not necessarily recognized on the PSTN network, though millions of people around the world can dial Plug-N-Dial numbers from PSTN and mobile networks, thanks to the increasing number of telco peering relationships. Plug-N-Dial supports Virtual numbers for full PSTN compatibility.

Free voicemail to email

With Plug-N-Dial, your customers will get free voicemail delivered to the email address of their choice, up to 2 minutes long in MP3 or WAV format.

Free conference calling

With Plug-N-Dial, every customer can initiate an on-the-fly conference call. Simply pick any +1-222-XXX-XXXX (can be customized) number and once a second call is made to that number, a conference room is automatically opened up. Plug-N-Dial conference calling supports an unlimited number of participants

Free Find Me calling

Plug-N-Dial's Find Me feature allows a customer to have multiple SIP or PSTN numbers ring. If the customer fails to answer the first number, then the second one rings. If they fail to answer the second number, then the third one rings, etc... Find Me is configured online by your customer.

Free online account management

Built in to the Plug-N-Dial dial tone is an easy-to-use online account management. Customers can see dialed, missed and received calls, configure voicemail and Find Me service, build online address book, and search for phone numbers.

Free SIP-to-SIP calling

Inherent with SIP is free calling. Because Plug-N-Dial spans multiple SIP networks, users can call free to hundreds of thousands of SIP users around the world.

Peering with all major SIP networks

SIPphone, SIPgate, FWD, iptel, freenet.de and many more are all available directly from the Plug-N-Dial dial tone for free calling.

Zero-configuration out of the box

Within seconds of plugging in (our launching) their new SIP-enabled phone, Plug-N-Dial automatically configures the phone or adapter for the network, determines NAT issues, and activates the account.

Auto-update

All future updates to the dial tone are automatically handled and installed to your customers.

PSTN gateway

Plug-N-Dial has multiple built in gateways to the PSTN network, giving your customers the flexibility of free SIP calling or super-low PSTN calling.

Worldwide toll free number support

Plug-N-Dial terminates calls to toll free numbers in the US, Canada, Singapore, UK, Germany, Netherlands and more. Which means your customers can use most off-the-shelf calling cards to call the PSTN world.

Prepaid or flat rate compatible

Plug-N-Dial has flexible pre-paid or flat rate plans available for customers, or you can tie in your own system.

International support

The entire system can be customized by language and calling plan at an individual level or across customer deployments.

NAT traversal

Plug-N-Dial servers utilize STUN to traverse symmetric and SIP unfriendly NATs.

All user messaging can customized

Within the Plug-N-Dial system, all the system messages can be customized for a given deployment. In fact the entire system can be customized so while your customers can leverage all the powerful features inherent with this dial tone, the system can be customized at the network, deployment (zone) or even individual user level. This includes internationalization and multi-lingual support.

Easy and powerful online administration tools

Plug-N-Dial provides every user free online account management system where they can customize voicemail, check dialed, missed and received calls, buy minutes to the PSTN network and purchase virtual numbers from around the world.

Plug-N-Dial also provides network administrators the tools to manage their domains, customers and system.

Open and standards based

The Plug-N-Dial system is completely standards based. It works with any SIP compliant hardware or software. Because the system is open, it can be upgraded and adapted over time to accommodate additional features.

Simple to implement

Because Plug-N-Dial is standards based, it is simple to implement and support. Many hardware manufacturers have even been able to implement Plug-N-Dial support after design and production of SIP hardware. Engineering resources required to implement Plug-N-Dial support will be well under one week for the majority of all developers and manufacturers. Whether you use TFTP, UDP, or HTTPS to talk to our servers and .txt or XML, it is supported by Plug-N-Dial.

Free PSTN international calling promotion

If you choose, your hardware or softphone can add hundreds or thousands of free international PSTN dialing with your product to improve the value to the customer and increase sales. Wholesale rates are available. For hardware that simply points to Plug-N-Dial's default provider, SIPphone,com, free promotional calling will be included at no cost to the manufacturer.

Cross service/network marketing and services

Any company can add services to sell on the Plug-N-Dial dialtone. So if you offer Virtual Numbers in Australia or flat rate calling packages in Hong Kong, these services can be added to the general features available to all Plug-N-Dial users, dramatically increasing the reach of your service.
