You can now make 3CX calls while driving with our updated iOS app.
3CX’s latest update brings full Apple CarPlay support to the 3CX app, making it easier and safer to stay connected on the road. You can make calls, send and receive messages, and check your voicemail using your voice. Let’s explore these new features and how they can help you stay in touch while driving.
Make Calls with Siri & Apple CarPlay
You can now call anyone by saying, “Hey Siri, call Aman using 3CX” or “Hey Siri, call 9873052128 using 3CX.” If you have multiple contacts with the same Siri will prompt you to select the appropriate name.
Reply, Send & Search for Messages
Sending messages is just as easy. Just tell Siri who you want to message, and before sending the message, Siri will repeat it. Siri will repeat the message before sending it if you just tell it to the person you wish to message. You can edit or cancel the message if needed.
When you receive a message, you’ll get a notification on your car’s dashboard, and Siri will read it out loud. To reply, tap the notification and dictate your response to Siri.
A different way to look for messages is to say, “Hey Siri, find messages from [contact name].” After reading the most recent messages, Siri allows you to ignore, repeat, or respond.
Check Your Voicemail
Accessing your voicemail is simple. Simply say, “Hey Siri, call voicemail using 3CX,” to access your voicemail.
