Sammendrag
Since the beginning of the 21st century, telecommunication operators have witnessed the arrival of internet services that are increasingly taking over traditional voice and messaging markets. Some operators are realizing that they need to bring their traditional services to the internet, in order to keep up with the modern consumer. In this thesis, I create an application allowing phone calls to be placed from an internet browser using a customer's existing phone number. The application extends the existing service Talk+, currently developed as native phone applications by Telenor Comoyo AS. The planning and implementation is conducted by examining modern technologies available to web developers, and by utilizing these in a JavaScript application. The application is evaluated using a set of requirements derived from the existing implementation of Talk+ for iPhone. The result is a working browser telephony application for outgoing calls, with the same quality of voice and delay as on a cellular phone. The thesis therefore concludes that it is possible to create such an application with the technology available, but underlines that the technology is at an early stage, and that it lacks the support from several large browser vendors.
