Cisco Soft Phone - Remote Option
With the deployment of the new UT phone system, we now have a robust soft client that
can be installed on UT computers or your personal mobile device. This includes support
for Windows, iOS, and Android platforms. For customers that have migrated to the
new phone system, that are not utilizing a call center, a soft client option is available
for installation. Please see the installation link below if installing on a UT managed
Windows device. Software for all other platforms is available using the Apple Appstore
or Google Play. If you intend to use a mobile device, a service request will need
to be submitted to telecom indicating what number you want to access on your device,
your utad user id information, and what platform you are using (i.e. iPhone or Android).
This does not need to occur for windows computers.
