Read moreVoIP Drupal Beta 5 is out! Now with "deep SMS integration"!
Hello all,
We are happy to announce the release of VoIP Drupal Beta 5!
The main goal of this release is to extend VoIP Drupal's SMS capabilities by
a) integrating VoIP Drupal with Drupal's SMS Framework and, with that, compensate for the lack SMS support provided by major VoIP services (such as Tropo or Twilio) outside of the North American market;
b) providing ways for users to carry conversations over SMS (or any other text-based network such as IM, email, Twitter, etc.);
c) enabling the creation of calls that combine text and voice channels in some very interesting ways.

Something that will automatically, or in a user directed way resize images, rotate them, do filetype conversion handling the usual suspects, .tiff, .jpg, .pdf, .png.
