Company News - April 2021
Welcome to our monthly round-up of industry and company news.
At the moment, each day feels like groundhog day, however the light at the end of the tunnel is getting larger. We're still working from home, but we are beginning to open our doors for a few days each week so some of our team can work from the office. I think that the last 13 months have shown that from a business perspective having a single working location isn't always necessary, but it is nice to see people in person rather than through a screen.
We're still on track to release the new version of our customer control panel, and I'd like to thank everyone who volunteered for the beta testing stage, we will be in touch with you shortly.
Alongside the new control panel, we've been working with customers on various integrations with our API. There are many different CRM's and third-party applications that we want to integrate our services with, and we have overhauled our API as part of the new control panel to make this possible. If you have a particular CRM, App or Platform you want to integrate our services with, please get in touch.
It's also been a busy month for porting in numbers from other providers, with a lot of existing and new customers migrating their numbers onto our network in order to use our VoIP Services. If you currently use another provider for any services, please get in touch with us as we can probably save you money, and deliver a better service.

Mobile Softphone DND issue fixed
Our Mobile Softphone App has been altered after customer feedback - the update means that when the app is on DND (Do Not Disturb) the call will be rejected without flashing a notification.
Please make sure your app is up to date with the latest version by checking for an update in your relevant app store.
Downloading the TTNC Softphone Mobile App
The TTNC Softphone is a free application for Apple and Android devices which can be downloaded from the App or Google Play Store.
