Start a Call from IM

Sometimes, an instant message session is insufficient to get an idea across to the other person, or a phone call is a quicker way to achieve the desired result. You can call the person in an IM conversation window using @call command.

•You can start a voice call only when you are on an IM session with a contact listed in your one-X Portal System directory.

•You can start a voice call even when you are using an external IM client.

•Starting a voice call does not end the IM session. You can communicate via the phone and IM at the same time.

To change a message session to a voice call:

1.At any time during an IM conversation with a contact listed in your one-X Portal System directory, type @call.

2.Press Enter.

3.The IM session displays a message that reads: "<user name> wants to talk to you - your phone will ring shortly". The system initiates a call between your phone and the other person.
