We released Version 2.7 last night. Below are highlights of the new features.

Some of the new features in Ifbyphone Version 2.7 include:

• The availability of local telephone numbers in all major US metropolitan areas. Customers will be able to select either toll free or local numbers for use with our Virtual Receptionist, Find Me, Survo and other inbound call routing applications.
• The Publish SurVo feature has been improved to allow for multiple logins for a single SurVo, as well as the deletion of SurVos that have already been published. The ability to edit the top portions of an active SurVo - e.g. everything above the questions, such as the email addresses, play beep at end of question and announce question count.
• The addition of a SurVo question type that allows a transfer to a Virtual Receptionist, Find Me, or Voice Mail.
• We will begin offering a new Audio Only Voice Broadcast with the ability to send out 25 simultaneous calls at no additional port usage cost.
• The ability to schedule Voice Broadcasts to run only on certain days of the week.
• The audio file maintenance tool now includes the approximate length of the recording in minutes.
• The ability to delete multiple audio recordings at once.
• Feature to automatically remove the beeps at the end of recorded Virtual Receptionist and SurVo prompts.
• The speed of many reports has been significantly enhanced.
• The addition of confirmation emails/receipts when signing up and adding additional items.

Some enhanced features for developers include:

• A new API for retrieving SurVo recordings as a streamed MP3.
• The ability to create Find Me’s using the Administrative API.
• The ability to retrieve the Call Detail report via the API.
• The use of a click-to key or API key will be required on new accounts to increase security. Current accounts won’t require this key, but we recommend you add it for additional security.
• Some additional parameters for Net Gets including dialed number and SurVo ID.
