Call Settings - Data/Minutes/Wi-Fi Only - MultiLine for Intune

We want to ensure you stay connected with clients from anywhere. Our patented technology allows you to make and receive calls over wifi, data, and cellular regardless of your underlying carrier.

Overview

Minutes mode means MultiLine doesn't require an Internet connection for calls.

  • You'll still need an Internet connection to send or receive messages.

Example #1: Using Minutes

If you use Minutes mode, MultiLine could work even if you're in a rural area with no access to an internet connection. You will make and receive calls over your carrier minutes plan using AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Vodafone, EE, etc...

Call over Data means MultiLine will use an internet connection for calls.

  • By default, MultiLine will use Wi-Fi to make calls. 
  • When you turn on Wi-Fi for your phone, MultiLine will automatically use it for calling, messaging, and other functions. 
  • If you move outside Wi-Fi coverage, calls will seamlessly transfer to data. 

Example #2: Using Data

If you use Data mode and are connected to your office Wi-Fi, and you walk outside the building and start driving in your car, your call will continue without interruption. Behind the scenes, MultiLine seamlessly transitions from Wi-Fi to your data network, so you won't ever have to worry about the call dropping.  

MultiLine continuously monitors the quality of your data connection. Look for the colored dot next to the briefcase icon. 

  • If it is green, you have a good data connection
  • If it is red, your connection is poor and the call quality may be affected when you use data; try switching to minutes
    • The red dot will also appear if you have Data and Wi-Fi turned off in your Phone Settings.
