FacetCorp Blog

With some hesitation, we have launched the FacetCorp Blog.  You see, we're pretty busy and we don't want to make a commitment of time that we can't keep.  But, we work day in and day out in the business communications industry and we learn some useful things worth sharing.  So, don't expect frequent blog posts from us, but when we feel we have something useful to say, we'll post it here.

 

For now this is a one-way blog with no way for you to leave comments.  But if you have something you are just dying to say, feel free email us about it at info@facetcorp.com.

When you look at the feature list for a business phone system, the one feature you rarely see listed is “support”.   If you proceed with the purchase of the phone system, you will of course learn what support is provided and what it costs.  But you probably won’t know very much about the quality of the support until you need it.   Read more ...

 

PBX hacking occurs when someone is able to make unauthorized calls on a business phone system.  This is done either by exploiting a user menu to setup a forward or by becoming authorized as a remote SIP phone.  I’ll explain each of these hacks and show how to avoid them. Read more ...

 

In the last few months, we and some of our customers have received strange voice mail messages after hours.  Read more ...

We haven't had much time for blog posts since we have been busy putting the finishing touches on Version 6 of FacetPhone.  Here's the press release:  Read more ...

 

 

Most people don't care about the underlying call control protocol that their soft phone uses.  But if they do pay attention, they know that almost every soft phone in the world uses the SIP protocol for call control.  So, why in the world didn't we use SIP in our mobile app?  Read more ...
