Scriptable phone dialer for Address Book.

The best companion for your desk phone, just got better. ABDialer is a smart software utility to automate the process of dialing phone numbers stored on the Mac OS X Address Book contacts. With a single click, it can dial the phone, avoiding the user to manually type phone numbers. No more misspelled numbers, just pick up the phone and talk. ABDialer can use any standard modem or mobile phone connected to the Macintosh and, optionally, it can play touch-tones directly to the phone using the computer speaker. It's highly configurable and can also be used as an external dialer for virtually all applications. Main features includes:

Compatible with almost all analog modems, including the Macintosh Internal Modem
Works with every mobile phone (Bluetooth, IrDa, etc.) recognized by Mac OS X
Can optionally use the speaker to play DTMF touch-tones directly to the phone
Smart dial rules and de-prefix technology to support phone rules for any country
Include a Plug-In to dial within Address Book
iCal integration for dial scheduling
iChat integration to automatically set the iChat status
iTunes integration to automatically play/pause
SMS composing and sending using iChat/AIM gateway
Predefined and customizables settings for all countries on world
Include the ABDialer Menu to show the phonebook in main menu bar
AppleScript support to be used as dialer from other applications
Services menu to dial from Cocoa and Carbon enabled applications
Ability to recognize "talking numbers" and ABCD touch-tones
Always syncronized with Address Book changes
Support for multiple Locations with easy switching
Option to run as menu only without dock icon

The problem is that Apple modem is not compatible Lion
k2103September 21, 2011
Pros
Does exactly what it says and what I need. I did not find anything comparable.
Cons
It lacks some options in the dial rules.
Summary
Works great for me on Lion. The problem is that Apple modem is not compatible with Lion. I am now using a USRobotics modem model 5637.
Works with Snow Leopard. Crashes on Launch with Lion

Pros
Works well with Snow Leopard
Cons
Does not work with Lion (for me)
Summary
In email, Developer claims it works with Lion. But on two different machines it crashes on Launch since I did the Lion upgrade.
5 years I was waiting for this

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Finally, the hibernation is over, and I was even upgraded for free. The new version works perfectly on my iMac and MacBook Pro, both under OSX 10.5.8. Simple, tenable, and elegant. In my opinion, the best in its category.
Another for the shareware graveyard

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. When I realized ABDialer was using Rosetta, I wrote to the developer asking about a Universal release or a recommendation for an alternative. The lack of a response was the last nail in the coffin for this otherwise useful application.

Summary
...SIP This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. The design and features are basic but nice. Orginally, I thought/hoped it would allow me to use the speakers and mic built into my G4 Mac (why would anyone ever want to use hardware that is built in???), but alas, the software is ONLY A PHONE DIALER. It does integrate to Contacts, BUT if you have a large address book, the software CRAWLS. Also, it crawls if you have the Address Book open at the same you are attempting to use the AB software. Also, this software DOES NOT DO INBOUND CALLERID. Why it does not, well that remains a mystery. It does do some intersting bits and bobs with AIM/Chat, iCal, but these are superfluous to my day to day use. The POP ups during configuration were a very nice touch. I think I will just type in my own numbers, and save the storage space, CPU cycles, RAM, and $$$.
Solid Upgrade

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I've been using this product for quite a while. I use it to dial through my Filemaker database (ever since filemaker decided to drop that feature). This upgrade is very nicely implemented.
Lacks integration

Cons
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. ABDialer lacks direct integration with (into) the Address Book application unlike MacDialer. The menu extra menu takes too long to build (based on ~800 entries). Good flexibility in dialing rules.
Great Little App
