Softphones
Softphones can answer calls, perform call transfers, set up ad hoc conference calls, and access voicemail messages just like a desk phone. Unlike a desk phone, a softphone is an application that lives on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and/or smartphone instead of being tied to a device on a desk.
Softphones also allow personal management of call settings, call forwarding, video calling, sending and receiving messages, sharing content for group collaboration, and customizing notifications.
Dial and answer calls from your work number using any device, from any location. As long as you have a working internet connection, a softphone frees you from your desk.
