When your user account is created and enabled, you will receive an email with credentials and details on how to sign in. Typically, it will look like this:
Download the Connect App by following the link found in the email or via your mobile device app store by searching "VoiceONE Connect". Once installed, use the credentials found in the email to sign in.
The same credentials and login information are used for both Connect Desktop and Mobile.
Now your Connect user account is ready, but you have no one to communicate with. Let us fix this and add your first contact.
Open the Contacts menu tab.
Click on the Search icon on the top right.
Enter a search query, click on the Actions︙ of the contact you would like to add to your active contacts list.
If you would like to add multiple Contacts at once, use checkboxes to select them and the Add Selected button at the bottom.
Connect supports one-to-one and group communications including chat. In Connect, multi user chats are called Channels. You can join an existing (public) channel, get invited to a private Channel, or create a new Channel on your own. To join a public Channel, do the following:
Open the Channels menu tab.
Click on the Find button.
Find the list of the public Channels available on your system.
Click on Actions︙ of the Channel you want to join and click the
To create a new Channel, click the New Channel button and fill out the form that will show up on the right. We will dive into more details of Channel creation options in the Communications section.
You can make calls to the Contact in your contact list - either directly (Connect App to Connect App) or via extensions and phone numbers. To make a direct call, open the Contact's Actions︙ and click the Call item as shown in the picture:
Connect differentiates between calls to extensions and phone numbers (found in Contacts or entered using Dialpad) and direct App calls to Contacts.
To try calling phone numbers, open the Dialpad menu item, enter 602 and click the Dial button. 602 is a service number that answers the call immediately and plays "music on hold" as configured in your system.
In order for a Contact to be reachable via direct call, the Contact must be online, in which case the Call option for the Contact is enabled. To try, choose a Contact who is online (indicated by a green circle) and make a call by choosing Call from their Actions︙.
Note that you can always reach your contacts (regardless of their status) by calling one of the associated phone numbers including their extension.
Differences in functionality between the direct calls and calls to phone numbers are covered in the section.
Now it is time to make changes in your profile so that other people could easily recognize you among the other users. Follow the next simple steps to get this done:
Click on the circle on the top left - it should contain your initials as the default setting.
Click My profile in the opened window.
Fill out the form on the right: change your user image, update your first or last name, add a phone number, change a password, etc.
Close the search by clicking the Close icon on the top right and find that your contact list is no longer empty.
Connect is a mobile, web, and desktop based application designed for use the with VoiceONE cloud phone system which provides your business with tools for effective unified communications - Chat, Voice and Video Calls, Conferencing, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, and application integration.
Connect allows your team members to communicate using the devices of their choice - web browsers, iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac desktops.
This User Guide helps you to get started with the Connect Desktop and Mobile applications and further explains advanced Connect features and configuration options. With this knowledge, you will be able to take advantage of all the application features, organize your team communication to reflect the specifics of your business.
The Connect app offers the ability to utilize the application in conjunction with your desk phone or as a standalone softphone application. To enable the Connect app as a softphone, follow the steps in the video below:
If you would prefer to use the Connect app in conjunction with your desk phone and not as a softphone, some call handling features such as Transfer, Conference, and Hold will not be available via the Connect application. These call control features should be initiated via your desk phone during the call.
This tutorial will primarily focus on utilizing the Connect app as a softphone and not with a traditional desk phone.
Calls to extensions and phone numbers use your cloud phone system to make calls to physical phones, landline numbers, or mobile phone numbers. Each VoiceONE Connect user has a phone extension (typically 3 or 4 digits) which can be used as an alternative to Direct App based calls.
You can start a call either from a Dialpad menu item or by selecting a Call option with a number (Extension, Office, etc) from a Contact's Actions︙.
To make a call to any number, open the Dialpad, type the full number and hit the Dial. Provided that your system has a correct configuration for calling outside, you will be connected with the landline or mobile number you are calling.
The ongoing call interface for Calls to Phone Numbers is slightly different from Direct calls, as you cannot enable camera or start screen sharing.
The following options are available:
Mute Microphone turns your microphone off. The person on the other side of the call will hear only silence without knowing that you muted your microphone. Once you mute your microphone, the opposite Unmute Microphone button will be displayed.
Pause Call pauses the current call (puts the call on hold). After setting a call on pause, you will have the Resume Call button which allows to continue a conversation.
Dialpad opens a window with a Dialpad which allows to send DTMF tones to the current call. This is useful when an IVR menu on the other side asks you to press one button or another.
Forward call opens the Forwarding call window which allows you to transfer the ongoing call to another phone number.
Lookup (optional, a search icon) opens the web page configured in the Additional Phone Lookup settings replacing the dynamic URL part with the phone number from the current call. For more information, see the Call Settings > Additional Phone Lookup section.
Open in CRM (optional, a globe icon) opens the contact's profile in the configured CRM if the call is associated with a CRM contact. For more information about CRM integrations, see the Contact Sources section.
You can easily add a new Contact to your Contacts by using the Search function. Click on the magnifying glass symbol to search Contacts in the configured Contact Sources.
Use Contact search settings for filtering.
Start typing information which identifies the Contact you are looking for.
Use the checkbox [✔] to select a Contact you want to add and click on the Add Selected button. Using this method you can add a group of contacts as well. Another way is to use Actions︙ near a contact and click on Add to Contacts action. Once added, you will see the new contact in your Contact list.
In a situation when you want to add somebody to the Contact List when there is no match within the Search in your Contact Sources, you can create a Contact by using the New Contact Form. Click on the New Contact button in the Contact List to open the form.
Add the desired Contact information.
Press Save to add the Contact.
Once added, you will see the Contact in Contact List.

Callback allows the user to use the cellular voice network for calls instead of the cellular data network (VoIP) calls. This may be useful if you have low-speed connectivity, cellular data coverage is poor, or mobile data costs are too high. When you make a call with cellular callback, the VoiceONE cloud calls your mobile number, waits until you answer the call, and then connects you with the number you are calling.
The callback feature is available on both Android and iOS application.
You can configure the Mobile Calling Method of the Call Settings in one of the following ways:
Use Internet will use internet data connection for all outgoing calls.
Use Callback will use callback for all outgoing calls.
Ask Each Time Connect will show a dialog asking to choose between Internet and Callback on each outgoing call.

The initiation of a group call is similar to one-to-one calls. You can start it either from a Channel chat or a Channel Actions︙. The user interface is also similar, i.e. you can enable video, start screen sharing or mute your microphone whenever you want. You can also see the in-call status of each member using the Members tab in chat menu.
In-call user status is represented by the following icons:
Phone icon indicates that the member is participating in the call.
Phone icon with shaking animation indicates that the member is being dialed and has not answered yet.
Crossed microphone icon indicates that the member is on the call but has the microphone muted. Note that unlike in one-to-one calls, other call members can see when you mute your microphone.
