Note: VOIP calls are only possible if Caller and Callee have PSTN numbers and proper policies in place.
In the event of a network outage, users will soon have access to new call controls with Survivable Branch Appliance. Users will be able to use contact search, dial by name, and initiate a call from their call history. When connected to the same SBA and network, VoIP calls to peers will be routed through PSTN if the call recipient has an associated phone number.
