Question:
How can I make calls using my Android phone itself, from within myDatavo Mobile for Android?
+
Answer:
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.
If you do have the Dialer tab, you will not be able to make native calls from myDatavo Mobile unless you have Click-To-Dial switched off. To switch this off, navigate to the Settings Tab and then press Use Click-To-Dial until the checkbox on it is no longer highlighted.
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.
Question:
How can I make calls using this app?
+
Answer:
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.
Question:
How can I manage incoming calls using this app?
+
Answer:
The Status tab in myDatavo Mobile for Android allows you to view and change the current Easy Call Manager setting for your myDatavo Mobile numbers, which can be Available (accept calls as normal), Do Not Disturb (send all calls directly to voicemail), or Forward All Calls. You can also view and change the number that calls are forwarded to when you select the Forward All Calls setting. For more information on the Status tab, see What is the "Status" page for?
Note that your version of myDatavo Mobile may not include the Status tab. For more information on myDatavo Mobile features and their availability, see Why can’t I see all of myDatavo Mobile's advertised features?
Question:
How can I manage my contacts using this app?
+
Answer:
You will only be able to view your contacts if your version of myDatavo includes the Contacts tab. For more information on myDatavo features and their availability, see Why can’t I see all of myDatavo's advertised features?
If your version of myDatavo includes the Contacts tab and supports myDatavo Contacts Integration, myDatavo for Android allows you to add, delete and edit the details of your existing myDatavo contacts.
If your version of myDatavo does not support myDatavo Contacts Integration, then you will only be able to view your phone's native contacts. You cannot manage them directly from myDatavo. However, you can quickly skip to your phone's native contact application. For more information on how to do this, see How do I view or edit non-myDatavo contacts?
Question:
How can I manage my voicemails using this app?
+
Answer:
The Messages tab in myDatavo for Android allows you to listen to your myDatavo voicemails on your Android phone. It also allows you to delete voicemails, to mark them as read or unread, and to reply to or forward them using messaging applications installed on your phone. If your service includes speech-to-text transcription, you can also read the transcripts of your voicemails.
You can also store the sender of any voicemail as a contact.

Question:
How can I merge my myDatavo Mobile contacts with those already on the phone?

Please note that you will only be able to edit the details associated with the original myDatavo Mobile contact from within myDatavo Mobile for Android. For more information, see Why can I only edit some contacts/some details of a contact in the app and not others?
Question:
How can I reduce the battery usage of myDatavo for Android?
+
Answer:
Go to your Android phone’s main settings menu. Typically you can do this by pressing your phone’s home button, pressing your phone’s menu button, and then selecting Settings. Select Accounts and Sync. On the next screen, under Manage Account, you should see the myDatavo Mobile logo next to your primary account number – press it.

Please note that if you disable these settings, you will need to manually refresh your Contacts list and Voicemail inbox from within myDatavo Mobile for Android to receive new voicemails and to ensure that your contacts list is up-to-date. For information on how to manually refresh these tabs, see How do I manually refresh the application?

If you are a member of a Business Group, these suggestions will include the names of any Business Group Line contacts.
If you want to enter a number, you can use either a telephone number (including the area code) or an extension number if you are a member of a Business Group. The number does not have to be in your contact list to make a call.
To start a call, you can either click on the name or number of a contact from the list of suggestions, or you can just press Return once you have entered a complete phone or extension number.
Once a call has been initiated, your own phone will ring. When you pick it up, a call will be placed to your chosen contact and you will hear a ringing tone as if you had dialed directly from your phone. If your phone supports auto-answer, you will not need to pick it up and your call will be started immediately.
A pop-up displaying the status of your call will appear for the first 15 seconds, which you can use to terminate the call. Once this has disappeared, you can end the call by simply hanging up the phone.

Question:
How do I set up myDatavo Assistant so that it automatically synchronizes my myDatavo and Microsoft Outlook contacts?
+
Answer:
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.

Question:
Why doesn't my myDatavo accounts and contacts disappear when I clear the App data?
+
Answer:
This problem is caused by an underlying problem in the Android operating system. Once this problem has been fixed, clearing App data will work as you’d expect.
You can still remove contacts from previous accounts by deleting these accounts in the Accounts & Sync settings menu on your Android phone.
To do this, take the following steps.
• Open your phone's Settings application.
• Select Accounts & Sync.
• Press the account that you want to remove.
• On the screen that appears, press Remove account.
• Repeat the last two steps for any other accounts you want to remove.
Question:
Why don’t I get popups?
+
Answer:
myDatavo Assistant’s popups are only available to users who have subscribed to certain myDatavo services. A popup can only be generated when your phone rings if your service allows you to use Incoming Call Popups. Similarly, your service must include voicemail to get new voicemail popups or voicemail transcription to get new voicemail transcription popups.
If your service includes the feature you want to receive popups for but they are still not being generated, it may be that myDatavo Assistant has not been set to generate popups for these events. To check, right-click the Notification Icon , select Settings, and then look at which boxes have been ticked in the Options section of the General tab. If any of the boxes relating to popups that you want myDatavo Assistant to generate are not ticked, simply tick them and then click OK.
Question:
Why don’t I see my myDatavo Mobile contacts in the native contact application?
+
Answer:
You will only be able to see your myDatavo Mobile contacts in your phone’s contact list if your version of myDatavo Mobile includes myDatavo Mobile Contacts Integration support. For more information on myDatavo Mobile features and their availability, see Why can’t I see all of myDatavo Mobile's advertised features?
If your version of myDatavo Mobile does support myDatavo Mobile Contacts Integration, your phone may not be displaying your myDatavo Mobile contacts in its own contacts application because your phone is configured to hide them. To check this, do the following (note that these instructions are only a guide - the exact steps will vary depending on phone model).
1. Open your phone’s contacts application and then press your phone’s menu button.
2. From the menu that appears, touch Display options.
3. On the next screen, look for your myDatavo Mobile account number under the heading Choose contacts to display and touch it.
4. Ensure that the checkbox next to Contacts is ticked.
You should now be able to view your myDatavo Mobile contacts in your phone’s native contact application.
