Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile Lets You Talk to Colleagues on VoIP

Microsoft just released the 2007 version of their Office Communicator Mobile program and its interface looks a whole lot like Google Voice. This handy software allows fast and easy inter-office communication over VoIP, and even lets you receive calls from your office number even when you’re not at your desk. One of the development team’s goal for this update is to make it easier to join conference calls on the go. Instead of dialing a number, the new UC Conferencing capability lets you join a conference call just by clicking the Join Conference button. This automatically authenticates the participants and lets them join the conference call.

Users can also avoid roaming charges when they are outside their provider’s network. When you need to make a call, Office Communicator will not log you into a roaming network, but it will automatically log you back onto your provider’s network when you return. Simply select the option and the program will take care of the rest.

Finally, a new plug-in for Windows Mobile 6.5 will integrate Communicator with the home screen. Through the plug-in, you’ll be able to see the number of ongoing conversations and your presence status. The plug-in will also enable you to make a call through your work identity right from your phone dialar, allowing users to dial extension numbers to reach their colleages.

The Windows Mobile 6.5 plug-in won’t be available til the fall, but you can download the Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile from the Microsoft download site.
