  • Enhancements in call transfer actions are available, such as the ability to search for a contact from the speed dial list and transfer the call to them.
  • A simplified experience managing contacts is provided.
  • Provides a private line feature for boss/delegate scenarios, giving the boss an ability to have a dedicated private line for all incoming calls for confidentiality.
