[Raph@IMS]

Hi,

Do anyone know about Mercuro ?
It seems to be a new free IMS client. It’s designed on IMS specifications (XCAP, MSRP, SIMPLE, …). I don’t know about the owner company Inexbee too..
For those who are interested, the info are available on www.mercuro.net.
If someone knows more about this software, please let me know.
I’m waiting for the beta release which is planned for the 8th of September.

Thanks and regards

I have installed the pay version of the Mercuro Client (bronze) on my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. I can get it to register with the Asterisk server and receive calls as well as make calls using URI only. Its OK but still needs some work to be SIP friendly. IE: making calls with just a phone number instead of URI's. You can only make calls with a contact that is stored in the system.

I have posted to their feedback to see if these issues can be fixed/improved.
