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 gives you access to three different kind of 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.
