messages within a call about browser-phone HOT 7 CLOSED

Text Messages have to be specially set up. There are a few steps to complete. Take a look at the instructions or the video from the Readme page:
https://github.com/InnovateAsterisk/Browser-Phone

PS, text messages are out of dialog messages, so you don't need to be on a call. You just have to be both registered. This is something like WhatsApp, Skype Etc... however there is no DB, so it can't spool messages if you are offline... something I would like to update

from browser-phone.

OK, the README.md file refers to chan_sip, but I'm using pjsip only.
So I added:
message_context=textmessages
to each endpoint in pjsip.conf.
That seems to do the trick.

I must say that message_context is not well documented upstream. You may want to add it in README.md, if you wish.

Yes, pjsip supports out-of-dialog messaging by default, you only need to supply it with a context. In my example configs, I did this with templates. Something you should be using... so rather than

"So I added:
message_context=textmessages
to each endpoint in pjsip.conf."

you would have said:

"I added it to my endpoint template"

;-)

Yes, you're right. It's tidier with templates. On it... :-)

BTW I'm new to pjsip. There's no "general" section and no way of specifying the message_context value "globally", right? It must be done in a template as you say, and that would sort of mimic the "global" behavior you would get when using chan_sip, right?

from browser-phone.

Correct, I assume they want you to use templates.

Great, thanks.
