Iphone App Calling Cheaper

December 1st, 2009

Hello,

We are a french company and we wish to create an iphone app that will do the following.

Application will be free to download. Once installed, we will ask user login and password (we will provide sync gateways). If user has successfully logged, we will record his l/p in the iphone and he will not be prompt again (unless he wish to disconnect).

The application will be a simple address book totally seperated from the iphone address book where user can put 3 info :
- Last Name
- First Name
- Phone number (international format)

Each time iphone app will be launched, app will synch with address book on our webserver (we will provide sync gateways).

User will be able to import some contacts (one by one) from the regular iphone address book but this will be the only communication between both address books.

User will be able to add/delete/edit the address book and the address book will only hold ten numbers.

Each time user add/edit or remove a contact, you will send the info to our server using sync gateways.

For each contact in application address book, we will have 2 other info. So even if user only sees 3 info (last name / first name / phone number), there will be 2 other hidden info per contact.
We will call them direct_dial and callback

At this step, user will have his address book that will be synchronised with the online version of his address book on our site everytime he launch application and everytime he modifies his address book on the iphone.

When user wants to call someone from the application, rather than using the regular phone number, we will call either the direct_dial number or the callback.

In order to know which number to dial (callback or direct_dial), the user must set in the application options the callplan he is using with the operator.
Sometime it is better for his to use direct_dial (when he has unlimited calling) and sometime it is better to use callback.
In this option setting user will be able to tell for the 7 days of the week when is the unlimited calling and when is the non-unlimited calling time.
If user is in the unlimited calling time, then we will dial direct_dial, else we will call callback.
Nevertheless, I still want the user to be informed with a message :
You are in the unlimited calling time. Are you sure you want to dial using direct_dial? YES / NO. If NO, would you like to use callback?

I would like developer to provide all the application (design, codes validation with apple etc..)
I would like the application to launch very fast (we can remove auto-sync option if this will slow down the launch of the application).

Hope this is clear. All is posted here.
The only thing that is missing are the text that will be given at later stage.
In order to be sure that you read correctly my project details, please put “gma2″ at the beggining of your reply so i know that you have read my post until the end and that you did not just quote something you have not read (that happens often).

Thx

G.
