To make native calls from myDatavo Mobile, you need to turn native calls on. This will turn off CTD and VoIP calls.

If your version of myDatavo Mobile does not include the Dialer tab, all calls you make from myDatavo Mobile will be native calls. You can initiate these calls by selecting a contact from the Contacts tab or by calling the sender of a voicemail from the Messages tab.

Note that a native phone call made from the myDatavo Mobile application will display your Android phone's caller ID and will be billed as a normal phone call. Only a Click-To-Dial call made via your Android phone will use your myDatavo Mobile account and caller ID.

myDatavo allows you to make VoIP calls. These are calls that use your data (3g or Wi-Fi) rather than using your mobile minutes. myDatavo also offers the Click-To-Dial feature, which allows you to set up a call from a phone of your choice. Additionally, you can also make native phone calls directly from myDatavo.

You can change which you use to make calls (VoIP, CTD or native) from the settings page.

Depending on the features available in your version of myDatavo, you can make an myDatavo call to a contact in the Contacts tab, the source of a voicemail, a manually entered number, or from a call in the Call history tab.

To setup Outlook Contacts Sync on your myDatavo Assistant, you need to be using Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later.

First, access the Outlook Contacts Sync settings tab by right-clicking on the Notification Icon and then selecting Outlook Contacts Sync.

If you’ve used Outlook Contacts Sync previously and you want to keep the same settings, you can simply enable or disable Outlook Contacts Sync by checking or unchecking the box marked Enable Synchronization.

Alternatively, if this is the first time you’ve used Outlook Contacts Sync or if you want to change settings you’ve entered before, you’ll need to configure myDatavo Assistant so that it synchronizes with Outlook correctly. To do this, carry out the steps below.


1.In the Outlook Contacts Sync setting tab, tick the box marked Enable Synchronization.

2.If you have more than one Outlook Profile and have not set one as your default, you will see a drop down menu marked Select Profile. Pick the profile you want to use for synchronization from this menu.

3.From the drop down menu marked Direction, choose the direction in which you want synchronization to happen. You can choose from the following options.


•To Outlook Only – This will replace any existing Outlook contacts with your myDatavo ones.

•From Outlook Only – This will replace any existing myDatavo contacts with your local Outlook contacts.

•Both directions – This will keep Outlook and myDatavo contacts the same, merging changes in both directions.


4.Finally, pick the folders you want to synchronize. Clicking on the Choose button will show a tree-view list of all the possible folders you can pick. Checking the box next to a folder will ensure that it is included in synchronization. Note that the default folder is Contacts and this folder cannot be deselected.

5.Once you’ve entered your settings, select OK to submit them. You will then be asked if you want to synchronize immediately or to disable synchronization. Select Synchronize New account to/from myDatavo. Your contacts will then begin to synchronize.
