You can change the look of the incoming call window, select a ringtone, enable call forwarding and configure calls to be declined in Away and Busy statuses. You can also enable call waiting and auto-answer.

Active calls management

During an active call you can perform various actions in the Floating Window or in the Active Calls window. For example, you can transfer a call to a colleague, put iton hold or make a conference call. Besides you can switch call recording on and off and mute your microphone. In the Floating Window you can use dialpad for extension dial and run an application, send data to web server or open link in a browser by clicking a special button.

Contact list
