Standard Voice Calls

The Home Assistant app needs to be running (can be in the background).

To make a call, click on the call button which will display the dial pad. Enter the SIP Username of the user you want to ring and press on the ring button.

If there is a history of voice calls or text message exchanges, you can click the user’s name directly and then click the Call button.

Caller

After dialling, there will be a Please hold, your call is being connected to most appropriate device voice prompt.

There is an option to leave a voice message to the callee without connected to the callee's device. To do this, while the call is being connected, select the send_dtmf_button button, press 1 and leave the message.

If you do not have internet access, you can still make a call by dialing +61 499 331 111 and following the voice prompts.

You will be given two options: Join a meeting or dial a SIP number.

If the caller chooses to join a meeting by dialing +61 499 331 111, an existing meeting must already be in progress, and the caller will need to enter the meeting number to join.

Callee

When there is an incoming call, your device will receive a standard call from one of our numbers (e.g., 0499 331 111). Once you answer, the call will automatically be disconnected.

This call serves only as a notification to alert you of an incoming call.

Simply open the notification and select the Home Assistant Incoming Call from notification.

On iOS, long press the notification to display the Webphone, Meeting and Voicemail.

On Android, simply select the down arrow key to display the Webphone, Meeting and Voicemail.

Webphone

If Webphone is selected, the Incoming Call page will open, allowing you to accept the call.

If you choose not to answer, click the Reject Call button, which will prompt the caller to leave a voice message.

Meeting

If Meeting is selected, the caller will be automatically transferred to the callee’s Meeting page.

Voicemail

If Voicemail is selected, the caller will be prompted to leave a voice message, which will be emailed to user@quuvoo4ohcequuox.0.88.io.

You can access your voice messages by dialing *98 from the Webphone.

When prompted, enter the Voicemail Password (the first four digits of your SIP password), which can be obtained from the Exchange Service.

Call Transfer

To transfer call, select the call_transfer button (which will automatically put the current call on hold) and enter the number you want to transfer to.

In the example below, the number entered is 299947.
You can then choose to perform either a Blind Transfer or an Attended Transfer.

Blind Transfer

A Blind Transfer forwards the current call immediately, without waiting for the receiving party to answer. In the example above, if a Blind Transfer is selected, number 190830 will be connected to 299947, regardless of whether 299947 answers the call.

Attended Transfer

An Attended Transfer requires the forwarded call to be answered by the receiving party before completing the transfer. Once the call is answered, the person initiating the transfer can either connect number 190830 to 299947 or cancel the transfer.

Conference Call

To initiate a Conference Call, select the call_transfer button (this will automatically put the current call on hold), then enter the number you want to invite to the conference and press the Call button.

Text Messages

IMPORTANT:
To send or receive messages, each user must be added to the other’s device by selecting Extension including Message Exchange.
