1 Interaction between Ubity UC Mobile and native phone

Placing Calls

  • You can place a Ubity UC Mobile call so long as you’re not already on a native call or not already on two Ubity UC Mobile calls.
  • You can place a native call regardless of the state of Ubity UC Mobile.

Incoming Calls

  • An incoming Ubity UC Mobile call rings on your phone unless you’re on a native call or you’re already on two Ubity UC Mobile calls. In both these cases, the new incoming call will go to Ubity UC Mobile voicemail instead.
  • Incoming native calls : Being on a Ubity UC Mobile call has no impact on your native phone : native calls will be received in the usual way. Therefore, you should be prepared to accept or decline a native call.

Established Calls

  • If you already have an existing Ubity UC Mobile call and you receive an incoming native call, you won’t be able to hear the other party on the existing Ubity UC Mobile call until you answer or decline the incoming native call.
  • If you accept an incoming native call, any live Ubity UC Mobile call goes on hold. You won’t be able to take the Ubity UC Mobile call off hold until you end the native call.
  • You can have up to two Ubity UC Mobile calls established at the same time and switch between them.
