Snapnumbers provides a way to snap to VoIP or any other phone service as we mentioned yesterday. At the time of writing we were not able to test the system with Asterisk.
We configured one of the Asterisk servers and system worked as expected. We used the configuration help that we found here
Snap Number Settings for the Asterisk/tribox

* If you use Trixbox you need go to the "Config Edit" page in the Trixbox/Asterisk/web interface and open it.
* Go to "manager.conf" and add the following line (see below)

This is the standard setup:

; Asterisk Call Management support
;
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[admin]
secret = XXXXXX
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,ag­ ent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,ag­ ent,user

#include manager_additional.conf
#include manager_custom.conf

This is our new setup:

; Asterisk Call Management support
;
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[admin]
secret = XXXXXX
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
permit=192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 ;

* Once you have done that click "Re-Read Configs"

Settings for your pc(s)

Go and install the application itself, just keep clicking yes as per normal until it’s all completed.

* Go down to your task bar and right the little green box.
* Click "Settings"
* Click "Add Connection"

Enter the following info..
* Name your connection
* Username is the username specified in the manager config (mine is admin)
* Password is the "secret=XXXX" … So mine would be "XXXXXX"
* Server is the address of your server. Mine is "192.168.11.201:5038"
* Context is "from-internal"
* Channel is "SIP/201" .. In order to find your own channel on Trixbox, go to the Tribox freepbx interface and go to ’setup/extensions’ Then locate "Dial" .. This is your ‘channel’.
* Ringback is "10"
* Connect on startup is ticked.
* Click "Update" (bottom right)

Go down to your taskbar and click the name you specified for your connection in "Connection" this will connect the app to your trixbox; if it’s not already.

Now just click a phone number on any webpage and your phone should ring. Once it rings - pickup the phone and it will start calling the number you clicked.
Thank you everyone for the help!

Today I came across snap numbers. It seems that Snap is a dialer and call pop up application for Asterisk. It works by sending the phone number you wish to dial to your Asterisk IP PBX and initiating a call back to your phone, be it VoIP or a PSTN phone. Once your phone rings you pick it up and complete the call. One notable feature is the Microsoft Outlook integration. Outlook users, the call pop-ups are integrated with outlook contacts and the information about the contact will be shown including pictures if they are in the outlook.
In fact it integrates with other applications like Excel, word and powerpoint from Microsoft office. There is a TAPI extension that allows to integrate with application like goldmine, and ACT.
One thing to remember is that this is not a softphone. I would say it is a plugin for your phone, be it a softphone or a regular phone. It extends the capabilities of either phone.
Also the plugin for Firefox and Thunderbird can detect phone numbers on web pages and make them dialable by simply clicking. Something that Google tried with Click-to-call. If they are to populate this concept, they only need a good marketing and PR campaign. Kingmaker at voip watch, comes to my mind.
snapnumber is here. How to configure snap for Asterisk/Trixbox tomorrow.
All in all I am still loyal to my Asteridex fro nerd Vilttles.
