With call via my phone, Edesy rings your own mobile first. When you answer, Edesy rings the customer and joins you. The customer sees your business number, not your mobile. The call runs over the normal phone network, so it works on any phone and does not drop when the screen locks.
Set it up once#
- Open Settings and find Your mobile.
- Enter your mobile number and request a code.
- Enter the 6-digit code you receive. Your mobile is now verified.
The same verified mobile is used for incoming calls to your numbers. See Incoming Calls.
Make a call#
- On the Phone page, switch the dialler to Via my phone.
- Enter the customer's number and check the From number.
- Press Call. The dialler shows each step:
- "Calling your phone ... answer it to connect."
- "You answered - now ringing" the customer
- "Connected" on your phone
- Talk on your mobile. Hang up on your mobile to end the call.
If you don't answer your mobile, the customer is not called.
