Great to excellent call quality and reliable service. All of the apps I've tested up to now don't offer that and you're stuck texting without landscape mode.Ĥ. Sendhub also sends/receives these broken messages in the wrong order. Sendhub does that and it's not fun to go back to that. Ideally messages aren't broken down in multiple 160 character messages. But that's only with people owning Apple products. The Messages app in the Mac/iOS ecosystem allows you to text from your Mac or iOS device and syncs (or tries too ) those messages. Ability to also text from your PC/Mac to any phone number in the world and conversations are synced so they're accessible on iPhone/iPad/Mac/PC. Perhaps two simple panels in Messages section "Personal" and "Business". Ideally I would have a way to separate business and personal texts. If I'm not in my work hours and people text me on my business number, all text messages will be put on hold in the system/cloud until I reenter a work period. The ability to set available works periods will also affect the SMS system. So I can easily have multiple conversations going on with many different numbers, personal and business, and I don't need to switch outbound number every time I text people. The "missed" calls during holidays/out of work/do not disturb hours still show up in the Call LogĬonversations will be initiated with a particular number and the system will continue to use that number from that point forward. I can also set holiday periods so I'm unreachable on my business numbers and set a different voicemail message for this period announcing my holiday or out of town dates.
I'm unreachable through my business phone number after hours (goes to voicemail), unless the person calling is in my personal contacts or unless that person is listed in a group that acts as a whitelist that allows calls to the business number even after hours. I can decide how to route the number and apply "rules" depending on the time of day or person calling. Ideally the system would also detect where I am via GPS and it would use the default number closer to my location, UNLESS I'm calling someone using the Call Log (it would choose number used to call me) or I'm calling someone from my contacts (it would choose my personal/business number closer to the area code of that person)
I call also manually select or change my outbound number of course. When placing a call to a friend in NY, the system would select my outbound personal NY number, even though I'm in Europe and last calls I've been making have been for work. For placing a call without the use of the Call Log, the system would detect if I'm calling someone from my personal or work contacts (thus it will use my personal or business phone number) and detect what country/city I'm calling to and choose the nearest number as the default outbound number. (If I miss a call from someone who tried to reach me on my canadian phone when I'd call them back it would choose the same canadian number the person used to call me, even if my recent calls have been placed with another number). For instance when I want to call back someone using the call log the system would choose by default the outbound number used to call me. Multiple numbers in different countries behavior & featuresīy having 6 different numbers, I hope to find a system that will be "intelligent" or advanced enough to determine which outbound number to use by default in different circumstances, while also providing me with a manual way to do so. Usually, free services have poor call quality and reliability, at least to my knowledge.ġ. Call quality, reliability, good iOS experience, SMS/MMS and a full-featured solution to manage different numbers are my priorities. see point 1 below) and a solid SMS/MMS service is essential to my work. manage calling from different outbound numbers. I want to be able to use and manage those 6 different phone numbers in an easy and intuitive way (i.e. I wouldn't want to give out my personal number to clients so I can set up forwarding rules for instance. The goal is to have personal and business phone numbers in three different countries/cities. I'll start to travel a lot in the next few months and I'd like to set up a more functional and versatile phone system. NOTE: In next post I talk about my experience my the tested solutions
