Send or receive instant messages

Send or receive instant messages

The latest version of miniSIPPhone is released today to support two key features: (1) Contact, and (2) Instant messages.

It has a new window to create and manage contact list like belowing:

In the contact window, you can select the target user and double click it to make a call out, or you can press ‘C’ key or click ‘Call’ button to do that.

If you want to send instant messages, you can select the target user and press ‘M’ key or click the ‘Message’ button, then you will get instant messages’ windows:

Instant message window on Linux system

One instant message window is used for one user. Each window has three areas: (1) Display area. It displays both incoming messages and outgoing messages. (2) Input area. You can input the instant message content here, and press ‘Ctrl+Enter’ keys to send the message out. (3) ‘Send’ button. Click it to send the message out.

At this time, miniSIPPhone uses SIP-MESSAGE to send and receive instant messages, and can only support plain text messages, so you cannot insert images, files, audios and videos into the messages.

Of course, miniSIPPhone can run on Windows system and Linux system (including AMD64 and ARM64). In fact, the users in above figure run miniSIPPhone on different systems.

Hopy you can enjoy it. 🙂

Why I cannot receive voice mail?

Why I cannot receive voice mail?

When some customers use miniSipServer cloud ( for local minisipserver, the same) to process their voice mail, but they are often confused why cannot receive voice mail in their email box.

In fact, we have an online document to describe how to use voice mail feature. Please refer to:

http://www.myvoipapp.com/docs/mss_services/voice_mail/index.html

For MSS cloud, there is a little difference. First, MSS cloud doesn’t support MWI (message waiting indication), so it can only send voice messages to your email address. Sometimes, customers often forget to configure SMTP server information which is necessary for MSS cloud to send your voice mail, or they often forget to cofigure email address of specific extensions.

So let’s describe more details about these. Before this, I assume that you have signin into your MSS cloud account. If not, please sign-up one.

Step 1: configure SMTP server information

smtp configuration in mss cloud system

Please look at the figure. You need click “system information” linker, then fill your SMTP information there. By the way, for Gmail accounts, they are always required to configure secure connection.

If SMTP information are all right, MSS will use it to send voice mail.

Step 2: configure email address of extension

configure email address of extension

Please click “local users” linker and select or add one extension to edit. For voice mail feature, you must configure “eMail address” to make MSS cloud know where the voice mail should be sent to.

Of course, you also need configure “voice mail” service right to this local user / extension.

So after that, for no-answer incoming calls, MSS will prompt the caller party to leave messages and save/mail them to the user’s email address.
