Using Call Subjects

You have the option of sending a Call Subject when you initiate a call to a contact. Use this feature
to indicate to the contact the reason for the call. The IP Deskphone contact displays a message,
such as "Weekly report call" or "Daily status" when they receive the call. You can select a
subject from a list you create or you can create a new subject.
Note:
The Call Subject feature is not available for all call servers. Contact your system administrator
or service provider to determine if this feature is available to you.
