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 one-X Mobile or 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.
