Phone applications

The following call features have been included in G900c:

•Ongoing call menu: G900c has a dynamic ongoing call menu that changes to help the user perform actions quickly and simply.

•Accept calls: users can specify which calls to accept and which calls to reject.

•Rich call functionality: G900c allows SMS and MMS messages, as well as contact cards to be easily sent during a call.

•Call notes: G900c can launch Notes during a call. The note is automatically named with the other party’s number, name (if known), time of call and date. The user can start writing in the note immediately.

•Follow up call: G900c can automatically create follow up call tasks. The task contains the phone number, contact name, time of call, and date of call.

•Speakerphone.

Call log

The Call log is where all calls – dialled calls, answered calls and missed calls – can be seen. Detailed information for a call can be displayed and the user can also dial a number displayed in the Call log.

Business telephony

Corporations have traditionally used fixed-line and DECT phones in the office, but now there is a strong trend towards the use of mobile phones to access business telephony features. Of prime importance, however, is that users can still access the features and functionality of their corporate communication system, no matter which phone they are using. G900c can interact with the following corporate systems:

•A corporate PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) switch, equipped with a mobile extension port (like the Ericsson MD110 and BusinessPhone).

•The mobile centrex service, if provided by the Operator.

•A telephony server located at the Operator’s or customer’s premises.

Feature buttons

The user activates corporate features by selecting commands from a list, which can be dynamically sent by the server via an IP link, or pre-configured by the company’s IT manager, the Operator or a service provider. Each command displays a text description of the function.

When a command is selected, pre-configured DTMF tones are used to communicate the desired function to the server. The phone can even be used to send data that the user is prompted to provide, such as the date they will be back from a business trip. Feature commands and text descriptions have to be programmed using XML and then imported into the phone.

Ongoing call features are reached from the active call view.
