Previous Topic


The Cisco IP Phone Messenger service, included with Cisco Unified Presence, provides an Instant Messaging (IM) client on Cisco Unified IP Phones with availability-enabled contacts lists. This feature integration with Cisco Unified Presence gives phone users who might be away from their computers a quick way to check on the availability status of colleagues. As well as real-time collaboration capabilities, the feature allows users to send and receive short text messages, many of which are preinstalled in a list of commonly used phrases and full sentences that users can select rather than enter on the phone keypad. Message recipients can reply to their messages or press the Dial softkey to call back without having to look up or dial the number.
