each contact can show a coloured ball at its left, or nothing at all. These are status marker and they represent the
Presence Status for each contact.
Presence
The Presence avoid users to call contacts who are not reachable, eg: because they do not have
activated and/or connected. The main value of this feature is to improve user experience suggesting the possible outcome of a call.
Starting with the present version, there are three lists:
- ALL: it lists all the contacts which are in the mobile address book, ordering them in the very same way.
- KNOWN: it shows only known contacts (registered or not) according to 's knowledge. This means it is a list of the contacts that are recognised by the server and thus can have a status.
- FAVOURITES: it reads the contacts marked by you as " favorites". It's a selection of contacts you choose to have apart, in order to make speed calls.
Each list may show a Contact status beside each contact. The contact status legenda is shown below:
 | Online | The contact is reachable. You can make a secure call to the user. |
 | Offline | The contact is not reachable, because is not under network coverage or is offline. You can try to make a secure call but the call will likely fail |
 | Error | There is a comunication error between your phone and the server. The contact status is unknown, anyway you can try to make a secure call |
Calling by keyboard
You can make a secure call to any arbitrary number (presuming that the call peer has
connected) by simply entering the number on
main menu and pressing the dial button.

Checking your security
A
phone call
is always encrypted. To check that nobody is intercepting the call, you must verify the security verification words with you remote party. After the call has been connected
displays the same two security verification words at the bottom of the screen to both parties. If both of you and your contact see the same
security verification words then the call is secure. The security verification words are
different each time you make or receive a secure call. If the words are not the same hang up the call immediately as this may be a sign of a security attack.
