20110201315 | PROVIDING WEB-ACTIVATED CALLBACK BY JUST DIALLING AND PRESSING THE CALL BUTTON - The application relates to web-activated callback for wireless phones. Web-activated callback such as JAJAH is known. To originate a call when using conventional web-activated callback, a user must connect to the Internet, activate the web browser, log into his account, request callback while specifying caller and callee phone number, and finally answer the incoming call that was set up by the callback server. However, the combination of steps is considered problematic. Therefore, the major object of the application is to enable user of wireless phones to make use of web-activated callback by just dialling or selecting a callee phone number from a contact list and pressing the “CALL” button to originate a call. The object is achieved in that a software running on the wireless phone hides all the above mentioned steps from the user. Hence, it will be invisible to the user that a callback service is being used in particular because the software receives and answers the incoming call from the callback server. | 08-18-2011 |
