UPDATE: BT SDK has been migrated to the Ribbit platform, unfortunately this means that their current API has been shut down and therefore affected any dependent apps (such as this one). I can find any way to remove this project from Codeplex. I have removed all binary releases and only left the source up for reference. Once the Ribbit REST API is up and running I might update the code of cmdPhone to work with it.

Cheers

Updated instructions on the Resource file

New Post: Setup Instructions

cmdPhone can perform various phone related functions with mobile phones, SIP phones and landlines located in most countries in the world.

In order to use this tool you will need to obtain a free certificate (Sandbox) which is valid for 30 days. (Instructions below) You can of course also download a "production" certificate which uses paid "credits"

Steps to obtain a free Sandbox certificate and setup cmdPhone on your system.

Create an account with the BT SDK here (The tool consumes the BT SDK API)
Create a PFX certificate by running this java tool: (to keep things simple set your password to 7 characters or less)
You will need to also download this cert to use sandbox(free) certs and this one for production(paid) certs
Finally you will need to update app.config as required

You can find a more detailed explanation of the restrictions on sandbox certificates here but as of 14/10/08 are as follows:

Messaging/SMS - 10 international messages / day. 20 Characters / message
Voice Call - 10 international calls of 2 mins / day.
Conference Call - 10 international calls (upto 4 participants max) of 2 mins / day.
Authentication/WLA - 100 requests / day

You can also find a list of blocked countries here
