Kiwifone Addon by Speedy2206
Kiwifone is a service that allows anyone (unregistered users!) to make a FREE 3 minute phonecall (180 seconds) to any landline number. You don't need to buy additional handsets or special equipment - it uses your existing landline number and handset.
I have simply followed the HTML code that initiates this call, and put it into the neutrino interface. Basically you put in your OWN number, and the number you want to CALL. Your phone then rings, and a welcome message is heard. THEIR phone then rings, and the two of you are connected for 3 minutes.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. When the 3 minutes are up you can immediately redial and re-initiate the connection for a further 3 minutes if you wish to do so. This addon obviously requires internet access to make the initial connection.
From the readme file:
Kiwifone web-actived telephony plugin for the DBOX2
Version 0.1 (Alpha)
- Service provided by Kiwifone.com - visit website for details
- Any user gets FREE calls (up to 3 minutes) without registering
- Only works for landline numbers, no mobiles
- DBOX requires an active connection to the internet
USING THE DIFFS/SOURCE:
- Tested against CVS dated 17th April 2007
- Patched against clean CVS, with no additional mods applied
- SHOULD work with UKCVS diffs, but may need Makefile.am edit
- Needs manual edit in neutrino.cpp for menu entry:
mainMenu.addItem(new CMenuForwarder(LOCALE_KIWIFONE_HEAD, true, NULL, new UberNinja_Kiwifone(), NULL));
USING COMPILED VERSION:
- Recommended that you try it on a JFFS2 image only
- Copy english.locale to /share/tuxbox/neutrino/locale (overwrite)
- Copy neutrino to /tmp and CHMOD 755.
- Via telnet, run "killall -9 start_neutrino"
- Via telnet, run "killall -9 neutrino"
- Via telnet, run "/tmp/neutrino &"
- After testing, reboot box to return to your original image.
IN ACTION:
- Hit the blue button to display the plugins menu
- Enter 'Free UK Call'
- Input your own landline number
- Input the destination number
- Hit 'Make Call Now'
- Your own landline will ring first, and a message will be heard
- The destination number will ring, and you'll be connected
- After 3 minutes, the call will cut off.
- You can ring the number back immediately if you wish.
NOTE: You really do need to read the readme file as it tells you that you need to manually add a line to neutrino.cpp in order to create the menu link.
