Making Calls with Sonar Phone

  2. Open the Sonar Phone app by clicking the link at the top of the page. 
  3. Click the Dial Pad icon to open the numerical key menu. 
  4. Either:
    1. Enter the outbound number you want to call. 
    2. Search for a contact. 
  5. Click the green phone icon to send the call. 

Receiving Calls with Sonar Phone 

If you plan to answer incoming calls using your Sonar web phone, make sure notifications are enabled, your answering rules route calls to your “wp” device, and your volume is turned up so you can hear the phone ringing.

Transfer Calls from Sonar Phone 

You can transfer a call to an internal contact or an external number. 

Which should I use: Blind or Attended Call Transfers? 

There are two kinds of call transfers you can perform. 

Blind Transfer
The call is transferred directly to the recipient without any interaction or introduction. The transferor doesn't confirm if the recipient is available, making this ideal when no preliminary information is needed.

Attended Transfer
The transferor connects with the recipient first to introduce the call. If the recipient agrees, the transfer is completed; otherwise, it can be cancelled. Use this when the recipient needs to be informed, or the call requires an introduction.

The default transfer type is Attended. 

To change the default transfer type, please contact our Technical Support Team by dialling 611 from your net2phone Canada device or by calling 1-877-498-3772 and choosing option #3. Emails will be responded to within 1 business day and can be sent to support@net2phone.ca.  

 
  1. While on a call, click the Transfer icon. 
  2. Choose either: 
    1. Contacts to select a contact, or,
    2. Dial Pad to enter an external outbound number. 
  3. After entering the number or selecting a contact, click the Call icon. 
  4. Choose to perform a Blind (unannounced) or Attended/Assisted (announced) call transfer
  5. Click Complete Transfer before you end the call.
