You’ve probably been Googling all over the place!

Well now you can relax because your search is finally over.

Like many Phoneslips users before you, you have made it to the place you’re meant to be.

You’ve found the best and closest thing to Phoneslips that you’re ever going to find.

Welcome to PhonePad, the ultimate Phoneslips alternative!

You may of heard of PhonePad before.  Or maybe you haven’t.

Phoneslips and PhonePad and have been healthy competitors for a very long time.  You’ll find that they are very similar in a lot of respects.

And you’ll find that there are quite a few handy features in PhonePad that Phoneslips doesn’t have.  Plus PhonePad has a more modern, user-friendly interface.

Now that Phoneslips has sadly been discontinued, we want to help you transition to the next best thing.  Or perhaps you’ll think PhonePad is better than Phoneslips.  We’ll leave that up to you to decide.

We want you to know that we are committed to our new and existing Phoneslips friends.

We realize that you’re used to having a calendar and mobile app.  That’s why we’re building Appointment Calendar and PhonePad Mobile, just for you.

We hope you’ll feel right at home.

Of course, along with that comes support, which unfortunately you no longer have with Phoneslips.

But don’t worry.  We’ll look after you as you switch over to PhonePad.  And for long afterwards as well.  We have a range of support options available to get you started and keep you humming along nicely.

And we regularly release new versions of PhonePad so that it works well with Windows updates.  Plus we’re always improving PhonePad and adding handy new features.

Just to let you know, we’ve been around for 26 years and we’re not planning on going.

The first step is to download PhonePad and try it out for yourself.  You get 60 days to take it for a spin, without cost or obligation.  We encourage you to take advantage of this.

And when you’re ready to purchase just head on over to the Buy Now page.  If you want to check our pricing take a look at the Price page.  We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Why not get started today!

We’ll be waiting for you.

Are you looking for a replacement for Phoneslips?

Well guess what?  You have found it!

PhonePad 5 is the closest thing you will find to Phoneslips.

PhonePad and Phoneslips have been keen competitors for many years, and are very similar in many ways.

PhonePad has a more modern and intuitive user interface design but it shares a lot of common features with Phoneslips.  It is an excellent Phoneslips alternative!

And PhonePad is continually evolving, with improvements and new features being added every month.

Can I Import My Phoneslips Data?

You can import your contacts from Phoneslips, if you first export them to CSV format.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to import any other data, such as messages, etc.  We tried really, really hard to get the technical information from Telexis about the data formats used by Phoneslips, but sadly they were not forthcoming.

Does PhonePad 5 Have a Calendar Like Phoneslips?

Yes, it does.

Does PhonePad 5 Have a Mobile App Like Phoneslips?

Again, not yet.  But PhonePad Mobile is also under development and we’re hoping to get it out the door within the next month or two.

Don’t Forget Support

While support is no longer available for Phoneslips, a range of flexible support options are available for PhonePad.  PhonePad has been around for almost as long as Phoneslips was, and we’re still here supporting our users.

Will I Like PhonePad?

We are pretty sure you will love PhonePad.

A lot, and we really mean a *lot*, of former Phoneslips users have migrated to PhonePad.  And they couldn’t be happier.

But you don’t have to take our word for it.  We offer an obligation-free 60 day trial of PhonePad so that you can try it out for yourself.

Download PhonePad 5 now and see why so many Phoneslips users are using PhonePad.

We are pleased to announce the release of PhonePad Version 5.65.1.

Changes in This Release

• FIXED: In phone messages, the button for adding new caller details was not working.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

Important Information About MessageSender

This release is only compatible with MessageSender Version 6.18.0 or later.

Installation Information

Please note: Server Updates must be installed on your Server or Host PC, not your workstation (unless your workstation is also the Host PC) – they cannot be installed directly on your workstations.  Make sure all users are logged out of PhonePad as the PhonePad Server will be stopped during the update and then restarted once it has completed.  Workstations will be automatically updated when PhonePad 5 Workstation is started on each workstation. Important: When downloading and installing an update from your My PhonePad account, make sure it’s actually the update and not the server setup program.

How Updates Work

Please read: You do not need to install every update between this one and the last update you installed.  PhonePad uses a smart update system that compares your current PhonePad system with what’s in the update, works out what changes are required, and then makes those changes.

Updates and Anti-Virus Software

Depending on the anti-virus software you use, when you install a Server Update your AV software may class the updated software as a different program due to the change in binary signature.  If you experience speed or freezing issues after an update, you may need to reconfigure your AV software to stop real-time scanning of PhonePad.  This may need to be done on the both your Server or Host PC, and your workstations.

Downloading the Update

You can download the update from your My PhonePad account or by selecting Server Updates from the System Admin menu and clicking Check for Update (you will need to log in as an administrator). If you are a trial user you can also download the update by selecting Server Updates from the System Admin menu and clicking Check for Update (you will need to log in as an administrator). Please contact Support if you have any problems or questions.

Installing Updates

You will need to have a current Update Plan to install this update.  If your Update Plan has expired, you will need to renew it before you can install this update.

If new messages aren’t appearing in your Inbox unless you refresh it, or unless you log out and log back in again, then we strongly recommend you install the PhonePad Version 5.65.0 Server Update.

This will fix this issue for you.

If you are experiencing issues with new messages not appearing in your Inbox until you either refresh it or log out and back in again, please install this update.

Changes in This Release

• FIXED: In some circumstances the notification system was switching to the wrong port.
• FIXED: Scheduled processing is disabled on server startup when it is disabled in System Rules.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

If your PhonePad folders are not refreshing when new messages are received or sent, you may need to update your Workstation Notification service.

The latest version is 5.16.0.  When you install the PhonePad 5.64.1 Server Update this version of the Workstation Notification Service should be installed.  However, we have had reports that this is not happening on some systems.

To resolve this, please install the latest version of this service on your workstations separately by using the following link: https://tinyurl.com/y2wzk82z

If you still have issues please report them to support at cybercom-software.com.

The award for the first release for 2021 goes to:  MessageSender.

MessageSender Version 6.19.0 is now available for download.  This release includes the following changes:

• CHANGED – For some reason some mail systems can’t handle more than one recipient in an email (especially systems that forward the message on by SMS).  So to get around this problem, where there are multiple recipients, a separate email is sent for each recipient.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

Important: this version requires PhonePad Version 5.63.0 or later.

Installation Information

Please note: You can download the update from your My PhonePad account.

Please contact Support if you have any problems or questions.

We discovered an issue where the Inbox and other folders are not refreshing when new messages are sent or received.

PhonePad uses a inter-process communication (IPC) method called Named Pipes to communicate.  This is built-in to the Windows OS.  From what we can tell, this has stopped working correctly due to a recent Windows Update.

Rather than waiting for Microsoft to fix this we have rewritten the Workstation Notification Service to use a completely different method of communication that we developed.  This was released as part of Version 5.64.0.

If you are experiencing this refresh problem then please install the Version 5.64.0 Server Update.
