Did you know it was possible to control your phone with MS Access? Making calls to your contacts, with a click in your ms access application?
It’s simple and easy. By using the teddy telecom api.
The teddy telecom api lets you connect from MS Access with friends,
family and professional contacts all over the world, right from your ms access application. For low rates. With a push of the button MS Access will activate your iphone, Android phone or your office/house phone.
Just make a ‘call’ button in your ms access application that sends the phone
number to our api. And you will call friends abroad
at low international rates or domestically for free.
Extra phone number
Do you want to have an extra phone number that appears on the screen of the person you are calling? Just buy an inbound phone number and you’re done. Very usefull if you want to use your private phone and have a business phone number next to it.
You can create a teddy phone number that will never change, and then forward calls to other phones if you move or get a new mobile or home phone number.
