4 Interaction between Ubity UC Mobile and native phone

Contacts

  • Ubity UC Mobile uses your contacts saved on your phone. Ubity UC Mobile’s contacts are continually synchronized with your native contacts; adding, modifying or deleting a contact from one list updates the other list.

Making Calls

  • You can make 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 make 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 are on a native call or you are 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 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.

5 Transferring a call

There are two ways to transfer a call:

  • Attended: talk to the target (the person you are transferring the call to) first then transfer the call.
  • Unattended: transfer the call without speaking to the target.
