Settings can be accessed by tapping the [Access icon]  on the top left-hand corner of the app's top menu bar.

Call Settings  

You can control a number of settings from within the app. These settings will be synchronised with your account - so it's worth remembering that it will impact any other phones or clients you have when you change these.   

The following settings are explained in detail below: 

  1. Withhold my number 
  2. Call forward unreachable   
  3. Call forward busy   
  4. Call forward always  
  5. Do not disturb 
  6. Twinning 
  7. Remote office
