Vonage offers a program (Click-2-Call) that will dial numbers directly to Vonage's server via the desktop; however, they don't offer a Mac version of this program. I came across this Address Book script that will allow you to dial directly from Address Book.

Dial Vonage phones directly from Address Book

The autoDialer script is a bit more powerful, since it supports multiple languages, and has quite of bit of intelligence about dialing internationally.

Also on 10.4's applescript this script fails to compile.
if (characters 1 thru 3 of errorCode) as string ? "000" then
I replaced it with
if (not (characters 1 thru 3 of errorCode) as string = "000") then
Which I believe to be semantically equivalent. ---

Might have something to do with cutting-and-pasting from Script Editor. I'll give it a looksee...
Dial Vonage phones directly from Address Book
For those less sophisticated users, like myself, I have been dialing directly to my Vonage account from the menu bar with the Click2Call feature in iAddressX. It is a program that adds a system preference pane to System Prefs for configuring and a drop-down menu that gives you access to all the entries in AddressBook without having to open AddressBook. You can configure iAddressX to work with Vonage, Skype, and Phone Valet.

Jon's Phone Tool also has a system-wide menu that shows all of your contacts from Address Book without having to open the Address Book application.

Wow, this is excellent! Thanks so much!!
Dial Vonage phones directly from Address Book
This is VERY well done. I use vonage (and love it) but I was always a little annoyed that I had to pay extra to use the MacOSX addressbook.
Wasn't this already listed as a hint last year?

For a much more robust solution that also supports Vonage (as well as dialing through the modem, Bluetooth cell phones, CallVantage, Skype, Asterisk, Phlink, PhoneValet, and more) check out Jon's Phone Tool (JPT).
JPT has many advanced features including Quick Dial Numbers (speed dial), a call timer, notepad, detailed log, Address Book plug-in (as well as scripts for Entourage, Palm Desktop, Now Contact and others), and a contextual menu that enables you to select a number in just about any application and instantly dial it using any Dial method you wish (think of selecting a number on a webpage and with one click, dialing it). This dialer is incredibly scriptable and includes dozens of example scripts including dialing from FileMaker Pro. It even supports voice-activated dialing! JPT has a fully-functional 14-day trial period and, after that, costs just $12.00 for a single-user license (volume discounts available). Jon |
