I don't think it is a matter of GeeWhizz, for me it is about simple
things that make my life easier.
1) I get an SMS from meetme when the first joiner arrives , the sms
has the DID of the conference room in it.
2) I get calls from asterisk when one of our servers are down. The
calls are placed by a box on the PSTN so
it doesn't require any network resources.
3) If I want content delivered to mobiles I can use asterisk to spot
a UK mobile number and have it send an
SMS to the caller containing a link to the content I want to push.
On the otherhand there were a number of weird and wonderful asterisk
based devices here at eTel,
like the dtmf steered vacuum cleaner or the front door you can open
with a phonecall.

Thought it may interest some people on this list.
As food for thought, why it is that ITSP’s haven’t come up with
more ‘interesting’ voice applications? When asterisk first became
available I thought it was the beginning of seeing really neat
applications, think Verzion’s iobi but for everyone.
I mean I love Angel.com’s (www.angel.com) 1800 speech enabled
services on demand but I want it available via a SIP gateway to
hook up with my own phone numbers, and I cant wait for more people
to implement Iotum so when I try to make calls I wont continually
be hitting voicemails (www.iotum.com) but I still think it is
missing ‘pieces’ for widespread adoption.
Where are the really interesting asterisk applications for hosted
ITSP’s?
Can anyone on this list name a Gee Wizz application they cant live
without? (or are we still just coding ex-girlfriend routines?)
