iMOC does not support running in the background, it just support fast switch. When press home button, make a call or answer a call, it will just suspend not running in the background.

iDialogPro is the same client; it is just volume licensed. So when you launch it, you need to enter a valid corporate volume license code.

iDialog not running in the background is an issue; I wish they would support that.

There are 2 others available that I want to try out:
1) iOCS (MariCarmen Fernandez)
2) iMOC Pro (iMOC is the corporate version)

iMOC Pro looks like it has some nice features, but no mention of whether it supports running in the background.

iDialog does not run in the background. we’re looking for an ocs app that has the basic functionality that is present on the Blackberry application. So far I’ve been unable to find one.

iDialog has 2 versions:
iDialog – $9.99 – does not support push technology
iDialogPro – Free – seems to require a subscription to a 3rd party service?

The client requires an OCS Communication Web Access Server (CWA). After that is installed and configured, the user just needs to enter their SIP address and password. You’ll need the web address (URL) of the CWA server from your IT department.

Hi,

Did you require any server side setup to access this, or just your username (email address?) and password?

What information may I need from my IT department in order to set it up?

Thanks

Ian

Hi,
No – iDialog does not reflect your availability in the same way. It has no ‘OCS-related’ call functionality, so any call you make is a regular iPhone call and iDialog just exists when the call is initiated (which apparently is Apple’s ‘rules’ and not iDialog’s).

Hi Curtis, there isn’t actually any VoIP capability in the MMOC client either. I’ve always considered this a shortcoming however MSPs are renowned for blocking activity that erodes their own revenue streams. When you initiate a call in WinMo MMOC the OCS server makes a call to your handset over the cellular network and a makes a second call leg to the called party.

The advantage is that MMOC R2 now reflects that you are busy in a cellular call (whether MMOC or manually initiated) so other MOC users can see your presence.

does the idialog client reflect your availability in the same way?
