What’s Call Flip?

With Ooma Office’s new calling feature, Call Flip, users can seamlessly move an active call between devices.When you use Call Flip, the device that you use to start a call doesn’t have to be the device you use to finish your call. Without interrupting your conversation, you can simply “flip” the call to move it from one device to another.For example, you may have answered a client call on your desk phone, but you need to get on the road to pick up your child from school. With Call Flip, you won’t have to disrupt your conversation to be on time. Simply use Call Flip to “flip” the call from your desk phone to the Ooma phone app for business on your smartphone.
