About Essential
The Essential App allows you to use your company’s Magnet Voice PBX system from any iPhone or iPad to Make and Receive Calls, chat with colleagues individually or in groups and access your Magnet Voicemail box.
•Professional, modern and intuitive app design.
•Making use of Apple’s Callkit Technology makes for familiar call handling, integration with iPhone contacts / recents lists and easy use of Bluetooth headsets and carkits.
•Making use of Apple’s Push technology ensures you are contactable whilst preserving battery life.
•Single number for both fixed and mobile devices.
•Incoming calls to your fixed desk phone are automatically routed to your iPhone/iPad.
•Incoming calls to the App show the number of the caller, not the PBX.
•All outgoing calls from your App show the company number, not your mobile number.
•Make calls from your iPhone/iPad contact list or from the company central address book in the PBX. In either case you present the CLI number of the company PBX.
•Busy on mobile device status is indicated to other users.
•Call history - missed calls, received calls, dialled calls.
•Listen to and manage your business voicemails.
•Chat with colleagues either individually or in groups.
•Presence … You can change your own DND Message and you can also see the status and availability of your Colleagues
•The PBX may be programmed to send all your app calls over IP or to the GSM network when you are off site and over Wifi on your LAN.
•The Essential App uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology over both Wifi and 4G networks. Call quality is dependent on the quality of your 4G network or available WiFi network.
