You can start a call on one device and finish it on another, so you don't have to hang up and call back when you leave your desk.

This feature needs the Communicator apps add-on on your account. See plans and pricing

Some labels in your portal or apps may look slightly different from this guide.

Take a call onto your phone

When you're on a call on another device, Communicator GO shows a floating button for your active calls. It lists calls on your other devices, such as CallSprout Communicator NEXT on your computer or Communicator for the web.

  1. Step 1:
    Open the active calls button
    Select the floating button. It lists the calls you have going on your other devices.
  2. Step 2:
    Select the take over icon
    Choose the call you want. The other device drops the call and your phone rings.
  3. Step 3:
    Answer your phone
    Answer to carry on with the same call.

Ask your admin whether a call on your desk phone shows up in this list on your account.

Send a call from your phone to another device
