New Version of the Switchvox Outlook Plugin
tristan November 20th, 2008
I’m happy to announce that there is an updated version of the Switchvox Outlook Plugin, originally released in mid-2005, that integrates Switchvox SMB with popular Microsoft Office and Outlook software. Using the Switchvox Outlook Plugin enables Switchvox SMB users to efficiently communicate with their contacts without switching programs and disrupting their daily workflow (or throwing off their all-important groove).
The plugin can be used for click-to-call using Microsoft Outlook (XP or Vista), and the XP or Vista phone dialer which is used by XP’s Outlook Express and Vista’s Windows Contacts. It incorporates Switchvox Smart Tags, which will find and highlight valid phone numbers in Outlook 2007, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, and offer click-to-dial options.

I have a laptop that I move between two enviornments, one with OCS the other with Switchvox. Any idea how to tell the PC which dialer to use?
Hi Dave,
There is no way to automatically set the dialer based on your location. You may however set your dialing preference when making a call. This setting will become your “default” line until you choose to change it again.
When the “new call” dialog box opens, go to dialing options and then choose the line you would like to use from the drop down menu located at the bottom of the form.
Hope this helps…

Hi,
I have this on an xp machine at work but it kept saying unable to dial because modem is not turn on. Is there anyway I can get support on this?
The current version of the Outlook plugin compatiable with Outlook 2010?
Hello,
we have just purchased the Switchvox SMB AA305 appliance.
I understand from my colleague that update for Outlook 2010 and 64 bit is coming very soon.
Would you be able to provide more exact date?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Vladimir
