FIND YOUR SIM AND PASSWORD

EXPLORING MAX UC MOBILE

MaX UC Mobile is like having your desk phone on your mobile.
It allows you to use all the functionality of your mobile phone with some extra features.
MaX UC Mobile uses the device’s native phone app for making calls while enabling a number of in-call features, such as uplifting a call to Meeting.

PHONE TAB

Tap on the Phone tab to make a call, view your Call History and listen to Voicemail.
To make a call using the native phone app, tap on a contact and select the number to call or tap on the Dialer icon and enter the number.
The Voic email tab indicates the number of messages received.
Tap on the Play icon to listen to a voicemail.
Tap on the Voicemail entry to see Call, Chat, Meetings, and More options.
Tap More to access View contact, Mark as Unheard or Delete Message.
If you have a fax message, the Faxes tab appears; you can tap on it to see the fax.

CHAT TAB
Tap the Chat tab to use Instant Messaging. Enter your Chat Address and Password and tap Sign in.
Tap on a contact to continue a previous conversation or click on the New message icon and choose a contact to message.
From within the chat window, you can start or continue a conversation, send files, call a contact, or add one or more participants to a conversation.
Your Instant Messages automatically sync to all your MaX UC client devices.

You can also send messages to a contact using MaX UC during a call by tapping the IM button in the MaX UC overlay (Android) or in-app call screen (iOS).

MEETINGS TAB

Select the Meetings tab to Create or Schedule a MaX UC Meeting, Join a Meeting or view Upcoming Meetings. Unlike a call, Meetings can use both video and audio.

RECEIVING CALLS
When someone calls your Clear Rate number, you can answer the call normally, as you would with any phone call, using your phone’s native dialer.
You can access MaX UC Mobile functions during the call through the MaX UC overlay (on Android) or by opening the MaX UC Mobile app (on iOS).
Note that if the call was transferred to you by another contact or a Multi Line Hunt Group (MLHG), the call displays the name (or number, if a name has not been set)  of the contact or MLHG that directed the call to you.

DURING THE CALL

While a mobile call is in progress, you can use MaX UC Mobile to perform additional functions to the ones offered by your phone’s native dialer, such as:

| Show a list of your Favourite contacts
---|---
| Uplift the call to a Meeting
| Send an Instant Message to the subject of the call
| Search for the contact being called via a CRM service
| Switch the call to another device.
| Transfer two calls into one another
| Open the MaX UC Mobile app

On Android devices, these features are available from the call overlay, while on iOS they are only usable from the in-app call screen.
If you are in multiple calls, or in a call with an unknown number, some of these functions might be disabled.
Transfer Call is only available while you are in two calls across all your MaX UC devices.

Favorites
Tap the Star icon on a contact’s directory entry to add the contact to Favorites.

Favorite contacts appear in a banner at the top of the Contacts tab.

During a call, tap the Favorites icon to view your favourite contacts. Drag and drop a contact into the call window to set up a new call. You cannot call favourite  when in multiple calls. You can access the rest of your contact list by tapping the View all Contacts button at the bottom of this menu. This opens the Add/Transfer  screen, from which you can set up a call with any of your contacts.

SWITCH THE CALL TO ANOTHER DEVICE

If you want to continue a call on another one of your MaX UC devices, such as your desktop or your iPad, you can use the Switch Device function. Tap the Switch  Device button in the call overlay (Android) or in-app call screen (iOS) to push the call to the most convenient device.

CALL TRANSFER
If you are in exactly two calls across all your MaX UC devices, you can use the Transfer Call function. Tap the Transfer Call button in the call overlay (Android) or in- app call screen (iOS) to transfer the calls together and hang both up on your account.

PRESENCE
Whenever one of your contacts is signed in to their Chat account, MaX UC Mobile displays their presence information on the Contacts, Phone, and Chat tabs.

PROFILE & SETTINGS

Click on your avatar in the top-right to access Account, Call, Chat, Contact, and Messaging settings and additional setup options. You can also configure your profile,  send error reports and access Call Manager in the Pro ile & Settings window.

CALL MANAGER

You can tell MaX UC how to handle incoming calls. Tap the Call Manager option in the Profile & Settings window and select Available, Do not disturb, or Forward all calls.
If you select Do Not Disturb, callers hear a recorded voice announcement saying that you are unavailable and are then connected to your voicemail. None of your  devices ring when you have turned on Do Not Disturb, so be sure to use it carefully!
Select Forward all calls and, in the Forwarding number box, enter the number you want to forward all calls to.

Note that when you change your Call Manager settings, the change applies on all of your MaX UC devices.
