5.4.5 Operation
Under normal conditions the telephone services are those provided by the PBX.
Depending on the phone status, the native phone application can be pushed on top of My IC
Mobile for Android. This limitation is due to the current Android platform.
When the user makes an outgoing call using web services, the PBX first calls back the mobile
and initiates the outgoing call to the called party. This mechanism is also used to consult the
business voice mail: the application tries to answer automatically the PBX callback.
For incoming calls under data coverage (WiFi, 3G/3G+), My IC Mobile for Android can receive
call events from the server. It can display the incoming call screen on top of the native screen
(in order to offer "Divert to voice mail/One number services" and the "Answer call" features).
To answer the incoming call, the user clicks the “Take call” button.
Security policies may prevent using the incoming call screen in this manner.

complex password to unlock the device. This can occur when using an MS-Exchange account
on the mobile.
In this case, when users receive an incoming call while the mobile is locked, they are
