TBDialOut

TBDialOut adds toolbar buttons, context menu items and clickable links to allow you to dial a contact's phone directly from Thunderbird's addressbook. It can be configured to pass the phone number to the configured URL handler for one of the following:

• callto:
• tel:
• sip:
• skype:
• Custom URL
• Asterisk AMI

You will need to configure your chosen URL handler separately.

The 'Custom URL' option allows you to configure TBDialOut to set up a call by contacting a web service, such as those provided by Snom and Yealink phones and some software PBXes/switchboards.

The Asterisk AMI option is new in 1.7.0 and allows TBDialOut to communicate directly with an Asterisk software switchboard.

Information on configuration can be found at http://www.oak-wood.co.uk/tbdialout

TBDialOut currently has translations for en-US, en-GB, de, es-ES, fr, hu, it, nl, ru, sv-SE and zh-CN. If you fancy translating it into another language I welcome pull requests at https://github.com/tipichris/TBDialOut.

In use, and except for the 'Custom URL' and 'Asterisk AMI' options, TBDialOut does not communicate directly with the outside world. It merely passes the selected phone number to which ever application you have configured to handle your chosen URL scheme. You should satisfy yourself that the privacy policy of that application is satisfactory.

In the case of the 'Custom URL' and 'Asterisk AMI' options TBDialOut will communicate with your configured service and will pass any username, password and selected phone numbers to that service for the purpose of accessing that service. Connections are not necessarily encrypted and passwords may be sent in clear text. This is intended to be used for communicating with devices on your protected local network.

Data is not passed to any other party.

Some add-ons ask for permission to perform certain functions (example: a tab management add-on will ask permission to access your browser’s tab system).

Since you’re in control of your Thunderbird, the choice to grant or deny these requests is yours. Accepting permissions does not inherently compromise your browser’s performance or security, but in some rare cases risk may be involved.

TBDialOut initiates telephone and VOIP calls. You understand that those calls may incur charges from your service provider, which it is your responsibility to pay. TBDialOut can only initiate calls - it is your responsibility to ensure that you disconnect the call.

TBDialOut was originally inspired by VOIP3Dialer 1.1 by MSelector, http://www.mselector.com.
