    Asterisk is an open source application used for running PBX and VOIP systems.<\/p>\n

    PhonerLite is a softphone that can make calls on Asterisk systems, and other VOIP systems too.<\/p>\n

    Menudex is the application that sits in your system tray and can then be used to quickly locate your Outlook contacts and either, dial, SMS, Skype, or email them.<\/p>\n

    Menudex does not have its own internal dialler and that is where PhonerLite comes in.<\/p>\n

    Menudex places all Outlook contacts in a series of menus (A to Z) as well as menus for companies, Recent, and Frequent. Using these menus finding your contacts is a breeze and calling them is instant when used with PhonerLite.<\/p>\n

    PhonerLite is a softphone that can call contacts over the internet using VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol).<\/p>\n
