It is hard to stress how exciting this version release is for our resellers, who are passionate about the end user experience. Some of the requests came through our community, who helped us beta test before launch, and deserve a hand for kicking the tires! Some major highlights:

  • SmartPBX got a walkthrough to make it easier for first time users, and a fix to how the Virtual Receptionist works by default.
  • White Labelling for Resellers got a MAJOR upgrade. The branded experience is now much more pervasive across the board, from Forgot Password to the Report Call button. Also, the UI now helps you configure your DNS properly, a big time saver when trying to get setup.
  • Remote Reboot for Devices is here! You can now reboot devices REMOTELY from the UI. This means no more site visits or requests to the customer to reboot their own phones. Now, you just make your configuration changes, click the “Reboot Device” button and you are done! Trust us, your support team will love it.
  • Conference bridges now can have entry/exit tones that you can toggle on/off.
  • User Portal has been ported in from the old UI.
  • Updated language and time options for international clients.
