Article #9205

The Office@Hand Mobile App features Integrated Calling which makes it possible for an iOS device to manage calls without unlocking the screen and without losing an ongoing call or an incoming call. This feature can be enabled or disabled on the app’s settings.

AT&T Office@Hand Integrated Calling

The Office@Hand Mobile App has incorporated CallKit — a capability provided by Apple which gives the Office@Hand app more control of the iOS device when in a call and allows the user to answer calls more easily when the device is locked. CallKit allows an ongoing Office@Hand call to remain active even if a second call comes to your mobile number while using the Office@Hand Mobile App.

The Office@Hand Integrated Calling feature makes it possible for an iOS device user to manage multiple calls without unlocking the screen, and without losing an ongoing call or an incoming call. A user can simply manage the feature by either enabling or disabling the Integrated Calling feature on your Office@Hand Mobile App settings.

With Integrated Calling, iOS device users are provided with a better call experience — an incoming screen appears, allowing them to interact with the call with 1-touch, either from a locked screen or when engaged in an active Office@Hand call.

Office@Hand calls are displayed as “Office@Hand Audio” in the incoming call screen and in the native call log, whereas a personal call would only display a contact’s name or just a number.
