Configuring 3CX Mobile App (Android)

This article provides information on how to configure your 3CX mobile app if you have an Android phone.

Negating the need for a desktop softphone or a physical phone, you can use the 3CX mobile application, 3CX Communications System, which is compatible with Xima CCaaS.

In order to see the calling party information, an agent must be signed into the Contact Center Agent Client (CCAC) web interface. Due to how we configure the service, i.e., utilizing a UC extension to route calls, the mobile app itself will show the internal extension of what you’ve configured for this purpose. It will not show which Contact Center skill the call is a part of, nor the other calling party information. You must utilize the CCAC to see that information and add in account codes, notes, and everything else. You will be 100% limited to being able to answer the call through the mobile app if you aren’t signed into CCAC on your desktop.
