Using Contacts
- In the Contacts tab, locate a contact and select Call or select the number you want to dial. To search for a contact, select the list, such as Company or Personal, before typing a name. The app searches the first and last names on the selected list.
Answer a Call
When you receive an incoming call, the app notifies you via ringtone, vibration (on mobile phones), and a call screen. The Cymbus app follows operating system's notification settings. See Cymbus App Notifications for more information.
When you answer or decline a call on one device, the other devices stop ringing. The declined call then follows your Busy call handling behavior set in the Voice Portal.
During an Active Call
Use the call screen to mute your voice, add a second call, place the call on hold, and more.
-
Mute your voice so the remote party doesn't hear you.
-
Use Dialpad to follow voice prompts such as "Press 0 to speak to an agent."
-
