You have to wait for a while once it hits 100%. If you "submit" while it is still on 100%, it hasn't completed yet. It is created a link, so you have to wait until a link is visible.

We have not tried that web phone option.

This kinda sounds like the Skype links we used to see in websites (and maybe some people still do)

Not likely, was Skype actually embedded into the site? This isn't a link but an entire phone that loads in a web page.
-
Does the web phone have it's won extension built in? Or does it load a generic SIP client and let the user input an extension and password?

There would be no need for an extension because the whole thing runs in a browser.

Okay, so it is a competing PBX to FreePBX. You don't need FreePBX to do this for you, you can just put SIP code into a web page and it is the same as any other SIP client.

Yeah, you're right. For Skype links to work, you have to have Skype installed.

Yes, still need an extension. Not sure what you mean by running in a browser meaning that it does not need an extension. A softphone loaded in a browser or loaded as a .NET app or running in Java is all the same, just a SIP client.

That will work with any softphone and link detection. But since people don't use standard SIP phones, it makes it difficult.

it has it own extension and username and password, it is like a softphone with the difference that webphone is not a software but rather it is a piece of code, it is a very useful way to make your costumers call you freely and internationally

That's all software is, a piece of code

oh...lol - by extension I thought he meant .exe or .txt - I see now that he meant PBX extension.. yeah you're right, the user will need one.

Sure, but how many users can use it at one time?

Presumably each one gets it's own extension. So effectively unlimited.

i mean by not a software the fact that it is not a seperate applicaion that you run on your computer but rather a piece of code running on the webpage

I knew what you were trying to say.
Although it is still important to remember conceptually, as it often confuses people, that all that is happening in the web page is that a full software application is being downloaded automatically and run on the desktop. It's still full software, just does not persist to the disk.
