How it works

When you send the invitation, the employee receives a message with their user name and the link they can use to download the Enterprise Telephony app. The password is set in the app by clicking on "Register/forgotten password" in the first step. The user can then following the instructions on My Swisscom to start using the application.

With Enterprise Telephony, you can use your fixed network business number to make calls from your smartphone or your laptop, even if you are out of the office. Incoming calls to your fixed network number will reach you anywhere. You can control your availability any time using call forwarding and other telephony settings, wherever you are.

The Swisscom address book (including external company contacts) is available for all users, alongside the local directory and internal company directory. The settings for this can be found in My Swisscom (Customer Center).

Telephone conference calls involving several participants are also possible. More information can be found in the factsheets and operating instructions under “Important documents and release notes”.

For the app to function correctly, you will need to allow the necessary microphone, camera, contacts and call authorisations.

Ensure that your WLAN network is professionally and optimally configured to use the app. If the Access Points are configured incorrectly or not optimally positioned, you may experience quality problems during calls (dropped calls, lack of audio connection, number unobtainable, etc.) If you have poor WLAN reception, switching to the mobile network can improve it.

Check your smartphone to ensure that:

  • Mobile data is switched on.
  • Any energy-saving modes (especially Android) and settings for saving data are switched off.

In many places, the network quality of the WLAN or mobile data network is insufficient for real-time communication. This is reflected in poor voice quality, inaccessibility or dropped calls. If this is the case, Enterprise Telephony offers a good alternative with the BroadWorks Anywhere function.Further details on this function can be found in the Mobile factsheet and in the operating instructions under “Important documents and release notes”.

This function is only available for users of the Swisscom services Smart Business Connect and Managed Business Communications..

FAQs

Yes, the app can be used on your mobile phone without a SIM. You will need to ensure, however, that your WLAN is optimally configured to use the app. If the Access Points are configured incorrectly or not optimally positioned, you may experience quality problems during calls (dropped calls, lack of audio connection, number unobtainable, etc.)

You can install the Enterprise Telephony App on any number of devices, but you can only use it on two devices at the same time (smartphone, tablet or computer). As soon as you log in on a third device, both other devices are automatically logged out.

You can set your user name in My Swisscom. Setting your own password depends on the service you use. inOne SME office customers can set their own password in My Swisscom or by clicking on "Forgotten password" directly in Enterprise Telephony. Smart Business Connect and Managed Business Communications customers cannot currently set their own password, but can reset it in My Swisscom.

If roaming data is included in your mobile subscription and you have remaining data volume, you can use the app abroad for free. Otherwise, using the app is only free abroad when you use a WLAN connection.

Desktop: Contact management is divided into 3 areas: 1. Contacts, 2. Favourites and 3. Telephone directory. In area 2, you can view local contacts (e.g. Outlook or iCloud) and define Favourites for area 2 from area 1. In area 3, Swisscom’s internal and external company contacts are automatically available to you. The contacts in area 3 can only be edited in the Business Communication Portal, not in the app.

Mobile apps: The Contacts area is divided into three tabs: 1. Contacts, 2. Favourites and 3. Directory. For information about editing, see ‘Desktop’ above.

No, this is not possible.

Yes, this is possible in principle. However, we strongly advise against calling emergency numbers via Enterprise Telephony, as your location cannot be determined and emergency calls cannot be forwarded to your nearest emergency call centre. Please use the conventional telephony app on your smartphone or a local fixed-line telephone for emergency calls.
