Synchronizing contacts and call history over Bluetooth
About this task
Use this procedure to synchronize your mobile phone’s contacts and call history with the Avaya
Vantage
™
device over Bluetooth. After the synchronization, you can access the paired phone’s
contacts and call history on your Avaya Vantage
™
device when the devices are connected.
Contacts from all accounts on your mobile phone, including Google and Facebook, are shared
with the Avaya Vantage
™
device, but only so long as the devices remain connected. If Bluetooth
connectivity is lost, the shared phone contacts and call history data is automatically deleted from
the Avaya Vantage
™
device.
Note:
Any third-party application that is capable of displaying call logs from the default telephony
application can display the call history for the synchronized mobile device. After the Bluetooth
connection is disconnected, if an application is caching the call history and not clearing the
cache, the call history from the synchronized device is retained.
