Calling Features
Intercom
Intercom allows you to place and receive one-way calls using a dedicated intercom line.
When you place an intercom call, the recipient's phone auto-answers with mute activated (whisper) and
broadcasts your message through the recipient's speakerphone—or through the headset or handset, if one of
these devices is active.
After receiving the intercom call, the recipient can initiate two-way audio (connected) to continue the call.
