Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 
ok, i'll be the first to say I had a problem. I start the dialer, type in area code + number, press 'Dial' and then the screen goes away and nothing happens.

I use grand central already by starting up the web browser and going to grandcentral.com/mobile where I am instantly logged in, probably from the cookie you mention. I click on a phone number tghen get my rtcomm thingy saying I have a call.

For troubleshooting, from xterminal, I have typed wget and it says 'missing url' so I know it's installed already. From xterminal I type 'python' and it says something about 2.5 so I know it is installed. What piece am I missing?

I suppose, I think this takes less steps. Also interestingly, when you use this app it actually has the GC # calling you before it's sent out like it normally does. Not with your method. So I wonder what's the differences between the two.

1) With this application you can easily call numbers not in your address book ( something that you can't do on gc's website ).

2) There are a number of exciting possibilities of how to expand this in the future.

I dunno, I tried what he was talking about (opened internet call). Changed the drop down list to Grand Central (GC) and then tapped the telephone pad there. A screen popped up with a bigger telephone pad. Inputed the # I wanted to call and it seemed to go through just fine. Just to check I logged into Grand Central later, and yup the call went through there (says so on the log).

I can't find this "drop down". Did you configure GC as a SIP account ( and how, I've been looking for this feature forever )!

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 
By any chance did you name your SIP/Gizmo account "Grand Central (GC)"? If so you are calling out through gizmo and not grand central. The problem there is that Gizmo charges for outgoing ( although every account comes with a free credit ) and this dialer should invoke the free callback calling.

Since no link appears anywhere in the whole thread, let me ask a simple question: where can one download this application?
