<span style="font-weight: 400;">  
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, you will be greeted with the Wildix login screen:</span>

# Answering, Transferring and Making calls

<table border="1" class="align-center" id="bkmrk-this-is-a-short-vide" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" height="314" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Wi2Pp8Q_g8A" width="560"></iframe>

</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100%;">This is a short video summarising the different call options listed below</td></tr></tbody></table>

#####   


##### **Answering calls**

Once you are logged in to Collaboration you are ready to begin receiving calls. When a call comes in, a Call Tab appears on the right side of the Collaboration screen like this:

<table border="1" class="align-center" id="bkmrk-figure-1%2C-a-call-tab" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 47.9012%; height: 168px;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%;">[![image-1643976240754.png](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/scaled-1680-/yF6UePxyma0xGDe2-image-1643976240754.png)](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/yF6UePxyma0xGDe2-image-1643976240754.png)

</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100%;">Figure 1, a Call tab with an incoming call</td></tr></tbody></table>

- To answer the call, press the green Phone icon and you will be connected
- To decline the call, press the red Phone icon. The call will stop ringing and the Call Tab will disappear. Please note that if you are part of a ring group, the call will likely start ringing again if calls are set to loop around

#### **Transferring calls**

- To forward the call without answering it OR to transfer a call you have answered, click the black Forward arrow icon. This will give you a range of options for forwarding the call. The first option to appear is your voicemail mailbox. Click on the envelope icon the call will be connected to your voicemail.  
    <table border="1" class="align-center" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 50.9115%; height: 267px;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%;">[![image-1643976290393.png](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/scaled-1680-/Y6etOYEAdGKVwltG-image-1643976290393.png)](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/Y6etOYEAdGKVwltG-image-1643976290393.png)
    
    </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100%;">Figure 2, call forwarding options</td></tr></tbody></table>
    
      
    If you start typing someone's name in the search box next to the magnifying glass, if it finds someone you will be presented with options to send the call to them. The options will depend on if the recipient has an extension number, voicemail, landline number or mobile number:  
      
    <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 100%;">[![image-1643976331456.png](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/scaled-1680-/uUtr8uF7T49zh9Sh-image-1643976331456.png)](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-02/uUtr8uF7T49zh9Sh-image-1643976331456.png)</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100%;">Figure 3, using search for call transfer options</td></tr></tbody></table>
    
    In this case, there are several options to transfer the call to a colleague, in this example Jonathan: 
    - Transfer the call to Jonathan's voicemail mailbox by clicking the Envelope icon
    - Perform an assisted transfer to Jonathan's extension (3002) by clicking the black Phone icon next to his extension number. When you click it, the caller is placed on hold and a call is placed to Jonathan's extension so the call can be announced: 
        - If Jonathan wants the call, simply hang up and the call will be connected to him.
        - If Jonathan does not want the call, Jonathan hangs up, the call is retrieved from hold and reconnected to you
    - Perform a Blind Transfer by pressing the black arrow next to his extension number. The call starts ringing on Jonathan's extension and you are disconnected from the call
    - If the recipient has other numbers listed such as their mobile and work numbers, the same Assisted Transfer and Blind Transfer options exist for each number. Usde the black Assisted Transfer and Blind Transfer buttons to route the call.

#### **Making Calls**

Wildix is designed to be flexible and offer powerful options for making calls. From right-clicking a colleague and clicking call, doing the same with people in your phone book or clicking numbers on a web page and hitting Call, Wildix enables you to get more done in less time with more accuracy.

The following methods can all be used to initiate a call:

- Using the "Search or Dial" number box:  
    [![image-1654323386907.png](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/scaled-1680-/M86XodTxH1khPFZ1-image-1654323386907.png)](https://docs.hellocomtec.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/M86XodTxH1khPFZ1-image-1654323386907.png)
    
      
    
    - Type a name or number into the box and Clicking Call on your chosen number
    - Clicking on the microphone in the "Search or Dial number" box to speak the name or number and then clicking Call on your chosen number
- Click the phone button next to a Colleague's name to dial their extension

# Conferencing calls together

Call conferencing is a powerful tool that can save a lot of time and effort and shorten the time it takes to resolve an issue or close a sale.

We're all familiar with Call Transfer - the ability to put a caller on hold and then transfer them to a third party. When the third party accepts the call, you drop out and the other two remain connected.

With Call Conferencing, you don't drop out of the call. All three people are connected together in one call.

<table border="1" class="align-center" id="bkmrk-a-short-video-on-cal" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 72.3457%; height: 356px;"><tbody><tr><td class="align-center" style="width: 100%;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" height="314" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Z_oakQO4WJU" width="560"></iframe>

</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100%;">A short video on Call Conferencing</td></tr></tbody></table>

The third party can be another extension on the phone system or an external number.
