Video calling is built right into your SimpleSignal hosted phone service, and it’s ready to use right now! The question is – are you taking advantage of this amazing feature? Or are you still just making plain old voice calls?
Video calling is completely changing the way companies communicate with their employees and business partners. The effectiveness of communication largely depends on visual cues. Using video calling, you and your team will be able to clearly see facial expressions, hand gestures and other visual cues in HD, making the conversation more engaging and personal.
With SimpleSignal, you have a couple video calling options. Whether you’re looking for a free app to fire up on your mobile device, a more integrated app that lets your mobile phone act just like your desk phone, or a feature-rich desktop video phone, we have you covered.
Option 1 – Polycom RealPresence app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Polycom’s RealPresence app is the perfect solution for free and easy video calling. The app provides HD video calling over the SimpleSignal network and allows you to dial by extension, 10-digit number or even dial into a SimpleSignal video bridge for multi-point video conferencing.
