You can select one of 3 methods for these outgoing calls:
- IP Telephony (the default, preferred method, requires a good internet connection) – uses Omnivoice talk minutes. Your customer will see your business number as the Caller ID during the outgoing call.
- Mixed method – uses both Omnivoice & cell provider minutes. Your customer will also see your business number as the Caller ID during the outgoing call. This method can be used if your internet connection is poor.
- Note: For the above call method, be sure to specify the cell phone number on which the app is installed. If the number is specified incorrectly, this method will not work. The number can be specified in the Profile – Phone number section.
- Via your cell phone – uses cell provider minutes. Your customer will see your cell phone number. This method can be used if you do not have an internet connection, but must make a call.
