Medphone Cloud Softphone Setup Follow
This video will run you through the basic set up of your new cloud softphone including adding call parks.
The Cloud Softphone app runs on your mobile phone, replicating almost all the features of a physical handset. This guide will cover the most used features of Cloud Softphone
Making Calls
To place a call, select the Dialpad icon from the menu bar, enter the phone number you wish to dial, then press the Dial icon.
Mute and Hold
You can mute your microphone while in a call, by pressing the Mute button. To unmute, press the button again.
To place a call on hold, press the Hold button. To resume the call, press this again.
Transferring Calls
While you're in an active call, you can transfer the other party to another PBX extension or external number.
To do so, press either the Transfer or Att Transfer button.
