Cisco Jabber has the option to make and receive calls using the built-in softphone feature. The softphone gives you increase mobility to make and receive phone calls while away from your desk phone. The computer will need to have a microphone and speaker hooked up or headset in order to make calls using the app. Most laptops have this built-in for your convenience.
