Anyone found any good smartphone apps that connect with their asterisk boxes that provides basic mobility features?

The main problem we are trying to solve is when our staff  forward to their cell phones they cant distinguish if the call was directed at their cell phone or the business DID.


We also would like to give user ability to control DND and forwarding of their extension from the smartphone.

I know there are many cloud service providers with a offering like this but we are not looking to change our service infrastructure but rather looking for just a software product that connects to our existing asterisk systems and provides this functionality. 

We would ideally like something for both iphone and android but the immediate need is for iPhone


Curious to hear what people have tried, their experiences, etc.

We are open to both free/open source as well as commercial software as long as it is multitenant or scalable beyond single server.


TIA,
chris

The easiest way to solve that is to have an audio prompt announce the calls that were passed through from the business DID before connecting the call through.  That does require using a follow-me approach instead of forwarding, but is easily done by just changing the confimration prompt.

Scott,
Somehow never noticed this setting before, I have tested it and it really works great for the forwarding to cell situation we described. Thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction.

To solve this, can you mess with the callerid ? For a forwarded call:

Set(CALLERID(name)=DID_${CALLERID(name)})
