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.

It’s been around 15 years since there has been any real price change with PhonePad.

We decided it’s time to make an adjustment to our pricing to keep pace with rising costs.

We wanted to let you know that, on March 31, 2021, pricing for PhonePad and MessageSender will increase.

If you are already a licensed PhonePad user then it won’t affect you, but if you are trialing PhonePad then you might want to remember this date.

The new pricing will be announced on March 30.

Did you know that PhonePad includes an In Out Board at no extra cost?  Why buy an In Out Board when you get one free with PhonePad.

PhonePad’s In Out Board is called WhereRU, and it can be launched by clicking on the WhereRU toolbar button in PhonePad.  You can also set WhereRU to open when PhonePad starts.

This is the WhereRU main window.

With WhereRU, you can instantly see the status of all staff.  Color-coding makes it easy to identify a user’s status.  Status text, comments and return times can be quickly and easily added.  Your status can be changed with a single mouse click.

Users can set their own status, or they can have a receptionist or office manager set it for them.

PhonePad can be configured to automatically set the status on the In Out Board when a user logs in and logs out.

So if you’re looking for the easiest to use, ultimate In Out Board, then look no further because you already have it: WhereRU.

We are pleased to announce the release of PhonePad Version 5.65.2.

The only real change in this release is the updating of the digital signature used to code sign all PhonePad applications, which we update each year.  The code signing certificates are issued by a Certificate Authority (CA), in our case Sectigo.  They are used to verify that the files you are downloading come from us and that they haven’t been altered by a third party.

Changes in This Release

• Updated Digital Signature of applications.
• Minor fixes and improvements.

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.
