Q: Can I use Phone Amego with my IP Phone?
A: There are several ways you might accomplish this:
(1) Phone Amego has been tested with Polycom and Yealink IP phones
for both dialing and caller ID.
Phone Amego may work with Aastra and Snom phones using Generic URLs for Caller ID. Dialing
support is under development.
If your IP phone or telephone adaptor is part of the Cisco/LinkSys/Sipura family, Phone Amego
may work with it directly for caller ID and logging (see VoIP). You may also be able to dial using a
(2) If your IP Phone or phone system can provide an analog telephone jack, Phone Amego can
work with that through a USB Modem, call monitoring box, or OBi110 Service Bridge and VoIP
(3) If your phone is designed to work with a Bluetooth headset (Bluetooth HFP), Phone Amego
can work with that directly. Enable the Bluetooth feature in your phone, and then add it to
Phone Amego as if it was a Bluetooth cell phone. This has been found to work with the spa525g
for example.
(4) It is often possible to enhance Phone Amego to work with your telephone or service directly.
This generally involves buying a similar phone to test with and a week or two of updating the
software. If you are open to supporting this effort, please contact the developer directly.
