Mobility apps let you choose how you want to integrate your smartphone with your Toshiba business phone system
According to Strategy Analytics, some 700 million smartphones shipped in 2012, 43 percent more than in 2011. Nine months ago, the number of smartphones in use worldwide reached 1 billion. This means about one in every seven people owns one of these palm-sized computers. That figure is expected to double by 2015, fueled in part by the popularity of the iPhone.
If your connectivity is centered around your smartphone, wouldn’t it be great if that handy handheld device could double as an extension of your business phone system? It can.
For Toshiba IPedge or Strata CIX phone systems
Our IPMobility client app enables your Apple® iOS® or Android™ smartphone to serve as a business extension. Just give out one number — your office number — and incoming calls will ring on both your desk phone and smartphone, either sequentially or simultaneously.
When the IPMobility app is activated, outgoing calls are placed through the IPedge® or Strata® CIX™ phone system, which finds the least-cost routing option and displays only your office phone caller ID to the caller. You have access to advanced system features such as extension dialing, visual voice mail, call transfer, call record and more.
For VIPedge cloud VoIP service
Toshiba’s Call Manager™ Mobile application brings the capabilities of IPMobility to our cloud-based telephone solution. You can take your office calls, instant messages and visual voice mail on your Apple or Android smartphone, just as if you were at your desk. You can have multiple IM sessions open and send messages to a group (or to everybody) to speed communications.
And even though the phone system resides in the cloud, it knows who’s busy and who’s available, so it’s easy for colleagues to know when they can connect.
Using IPMobility or Call Manager Mobile features doesn’t impede your ability to use your smartphone’s native features, contacts and voice mail. If you don’t activate the Toshiba mobility app by dialing its extension or selecting it from your contact list, the phone performs like a typical smartphone.
For all Toshiba phone systems
The ‘Find-me, Follow-me’ call routing and Twinning features come standard with nothing to buy or download.
With ‘Find-me, Follow-me,’ you tell the system when you want calls to your office extension to go directly to your smartphone (or any other telephone number). You see the caller’s caller ID, but the caller sees only your business number. Twinning has incoming calls ring simultaneously on both your office phone and smartphone. Both features are easy to turn on and off.
Take advantage today!
You don’t have to buy or download anything to take advantage of the ‘Find-me Follow Me’ and Twinning features. They came with your Toshiba phone system, and you can activate them at will. You can download the IPMobility and Call Manager Mobile apps for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store.
