Those among us who use softphones, many have multiple accounts. It is actually quite common because most of us are still experimenting with PC-to-Phone type services. I might have a Skype account but I also use Gizmo, and Google Talk. I would ideally like to have my portal – my webpage – host a plugin that aggregates all my softclient accounts.
Just like embedded flash phones enable you to use any provider’s SIP based VoIP service by saving SIP proxy and username/password in the plugin, you could also have an interface that stores for you account details of multiple VoIP accounts. Something similar to getting emails from all your accounts at one place.
This would save me from keeping all my softclients open. This would also help me from downloading three different VoIP clients when I am travelling. I can also forward my landline calls to something like a SkypeIn number to make sure that I receive all my calls at one place. And if you integrate such as plugin with unified messaging that would be a great value add.
