Performing a secure call with PrivateGSMPresence
The Presence avoid users to call contacts who are not reachable, eg: because they do not have PrivateGSM 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:
- BASE: 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 PrivateServer'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 "PrivateGSM 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:
Calling by dialpad
You can make a secure call to any arbitrary number (presuming that the call peer has PrivateGSM connected) from PrivateGSM menu by simply entering the number with the on-screen keypad and pressing the dial (green) button.
