Dialmate CM1003 vs. Sipura 3000

cnr1109 · #1 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 04:36 PM

I have a cell with "MOC" (most often called) feature. I can make and receive unlimited calls to one number, which happens to be my VOIP service. I would like to utilize the VOIP for all transit in / transit out calling using my single cellphone. I understand I can use the Dialmate CM1003 together with the ATA. Could I use a standalone Sipura 3000 instead? What would be the pro's and con's of each setup. ie: delay time, caller interaction, seamless operation, etc. Thank You.

Having a cell with "MOC" allows you to call unlimited air time using the Call Bridge feature of the DialMate CM1003. Your relatives, friends, employees or business associates can also make free unlimited air time calls if their cells have free incoming (Sprint, Nextel and overseas cell phones) using the Call Back feature. If your VOIP service has Call Return (*69) and Call Transfer, multiple users with USA numbers (cells and land line in the USA without broadband and overseas with broadband) can use the DialMate CM1003 almost at the same time when calling USA and Canadian numbers. All of these are possible without needing a PSTN line or another VOIP line since the DialMate CM1003 uses only a single line with those aforementioned features. The Sipura 3000 does mot have these capabilities but has an edge in delay time and seamless operation but not on user interaction since it needs to be configured by trained personnel while the CM1003 is programmed using an ordinary touch tone telephone.

Thank You. In terms of caller interaction, any actions needed to be taken by the caller during calls. Can the 3000 handle both inbound and outbound from my cell to the VOIP (single line). The programming is not an issue for me. Thanks again

There is practically no interaction needed from the caller on the DialMate CM1003 especially if Call Transfer is the switching mode used. If 3-way calling is the switching mode, hung calls would not be a problem since the DialMate CM1003 will hang up on busy, ring back, silence, cpc signal and absolute timer if the user forgets to enter "#0" (terminates the call immediately) before hanging up. I don't know exactly the safety features (beyond busy signal) of the 3000 but it should be able to handle both in bound and outbound from your cell, but of course it needs two lines, not just one VOIP line. If seamless and transparency are important you can also take a look at WoodTel's two-line model DialMate CM2000.

Having one cell and one VOIP line are most important (cost). Is the CM1003 the best to use, in my application, of all the models offered by DialMate? The Call Bridge steps seem minimized when used in conjunction with call forward. Can multiple callers use Call Bridge, similar to Call Back, at the same time? In other words could 2 outside cells (with MOC) utilize one CM1003 / ATA simultaneously? Thanks again.

Two cells with MOC can use one DialMate CM1003 during Call Back and Call Bridge almost simultaneously if the VOIP line has the call transfer feature. I say almost simultaneously because it takes a few seconds to transfer a call. The two cells will have unlimited free air time, unlimited calling to USA and Canada and any USA or Canadian number anywhere in the world.

Im very new to this Dialmate device but ive read a lot of good things about it. Im in the USA and has family in the Philippines. Would this work for me so as to save me money with my long-distance bills? Im planning to get a local Manila number from Vodini so my family can call me with a local number. Im told that they can call me unlimited but when its my turn to call them, I would have to pay the same long distnace charges.
Would Dialmate be an option for me? Im very new at this and am trying to learn as much from reading the posts here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

I would suggest to use the DialMate CM1002 International Version since the three-way calling in Manila PSTNs is different from the USA. In Manila, when A and B are talking and they want to conference a third party C, B would do a hookflash, put A on hold, get another dialtone, dial C's number, and wait for C to answer before doing the second hookflash to connect the call. If the second hookflash is done before C answers, the 3-way call will not connect. To accomplish this, a 3-second greeting is played back instructing the third party to hit any key or just stay on the line so that a timely second hookflash is automatically performed by the unit (see CM1002 International Version instruction manual at www.woodtel.com ). Unless there is a call transfer feature on the Manila PSTN, the DialMate CM1003 will not work.
