<div>Your argument is excelent, but i can see a little contradiction...</div>
<div>If the means of contact is as you say company policy, why would it be a user setting?</div>
<div>Wouldn't it be better to have it as a global setting?</div>

<br>only want you to contact customers a certain way (IE: via the office PBX<br>so calls can be recorded, etc). Something flexible enough to handle<br>both scenarios would be nice. Maybe a multi-select picklist in the user
<br>settings that would allow a user to choose all the diff kinds of<br>communications they use (voip, skype, phoner, etc). If the user selects<br>more than one means of communications, the picklist box you spoke of<br>earlier could be used... if they only have one type of communications
<br>then a standard "click to dial" would be enabled on the phone record<br>itself.<br><br>I am getting ready to fire back up the asterisk integration project for<br>5.x and have spent some time trying to figure out a clean way to bring
