The Cisco Jabber softphone lets you make and answer calls from your computer or mobile device as if you were using your SCU desktop telephone.

Collaboration can happen from anywhere: on campus, off campus, or on-the-go. The Cisco Jabber softphone makes it possible to take your communications with you – answering calls and accessing phone features from your computer as if you were using your SCU desk phone. And you don’t need to have cell phone service or a phone line to use the softphone on your PC, the only requirement is an internet connection.

Download the Cisco Jabber app to your smartphone and you can receive and manage calls placed to your SCU desk phone on your smartphone. You can also make calls over your smartphone’s mobile service. It works like this: although you initiate the call from your smartphone, the caller ID will show your SCU desk phone number. You’ll have the convenience of using a single number that follows you wherever you go, and you won’t need to give out your personal mobile phone number.
