Making Calls

Making Calls #

~.UcClient.~ provides users with easy ways to make phone calls, speeding up the process of setting up calls.

Information Circle info
When making a call with ~.UcClient.~, a call will first be made to all of the devices associated with your user account. Simply answer the call on the device you wish to use and you will then be connected to the number you dialed.
(If you have only one device and it supports auto answer you don't need to answer, there will just be a beep and you will then be connected to the number you dialed).

Search or Dial #

Telephone calls can be made directly from the 'Search or dial' text box. Simply enter a phone number (internal or external) then press the ENTER key or click the call icon to the right of the text box:
