How are simultaneous call attempts handled by XS4 Com iGO?
If you receive simultaneous call attempts, including from visitors and regular callers, XS4 Com notifies additional callers that the you are currently busy. If you are logged into multiple devices, the call will be managed by the device where it is either accepted or rejected, and the other devices will show missed call notifications. This ensures ongoing calls continue without interruption across all devices.
What happens when a resident's phone is in do not disturb mode and they receive a call through the XS4 Com mobile app?
When your phone is in do not disturb mode and you receive a call via the XS4 Com mobile app, the call will not ring. This ensures that you are not disturbed during times you choose to limit interruptions.
If you wish to receive calls from the XS4 Com app even while do not disturb is activated, you can configure your phone's settings to make an exception for the app. This allows important calls to come through, ensuring you don't miss anything critical while maintaining silence from other apps.
This feature is currently available only on iOS devices.
