## What is MLC Mobile?

Mobile devices are a mainstay in today’s businesses and usage only continues to grow.  Employees have traditionally relied on mobile devices to stay connected, but this has always meant that an employee has to distribute a separate phone number to ensure that business associates or customers can reach them when they need to be reach.  This also results in management of multiple voice mailboxes which decreases productivity and increases the chances of a message not being heard in a timely manner.
MLC (Multi Line Client) is a NEC proprietary SIP client that registers to your NEC voice platform (UNIVERGE SV9x00 and SV8x00) and enables your smart phone or tablet to act like your office phone.  Providing a user friendly interface that NEC customers are accustom to.
Make/Receive calls from your NEC Univerge SV9x00 and SV8x00 voice system over your corporate Wi-Fi network or use a VPN connection on your iPhone or iPad devices to connect over LTE and other Wi-Fi networks.

## Key features

- Office phone functionality on mobile

### 1/5 — Doesn’t wake iPhone

*2022-11-25, version 2.0.38*

This app pretty disappointing on the iPhone. It doesn’t wake the phone when it is in sleep mode. Constantly have to have the unlocked and app open to work. This needs to updated and resolved.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work when iPhone is locked or not the active app

*2022-06-21, version 2.0.38*

If the MLC app isn’t the active app it doesn’t ring. Not very useful this way

### 1/5 — Needs Additional Features

*2021-12-17*

This app is brain dead and the publisher has no plans to improve it.  Do what I did; switch to hosted SIP PBX and eliminate equipment ownership, maintenance, licenses and software updates. Compatible and inexpensive Android based desk phones and many iOS SIP apps are available. I now have all the functions of my own PBX, with none of the grief, like proprietary soft phones that are years out of date.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment.  The requirement from the larger market was to make the phone operate in the same mode as the physical device.  No adaptation to implement any new functions or ways of operation.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well at all

*2021-10-06*

When dialing an extensionAs soon as someone picks up the phone cuts out you can no longer here anybody.This app has been more trouble than it’s been worth

**Developer response:** There could be multiple issues that are causing this problem from a network to incorrect programming on the voice server.  Please contact your local NEC technician for further assistance.

### 5/5 — Mlc amazing

*2021-07-13*

This app has saved many of our clients businesses due to COVID It makes all the other apps out there look like garbage! NEC has a proven winner with the MLC

### 1/5 — Stopped working altogether

*2021-02-12*

This used to be an amazing app. It worked consistently for me and connected me with my office phone from anywhere. I have no idea what happened, but all of a sudden, it stopped working and only says “Full Port.” I contacted the company who installed our phone system, who got back to me weeks later and basically said the app won’t work with iPhone 12, but they were working on a fix. That was 4 months ago and it’s still not working. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled so many times I’ve lost count. Such a shame.

**Developer response:** The error you receiving' Full Port" means that you are no longer licensed for the application.  There are too many users that are enabled and application is not able to acquire a licenses.  Confirm the availability of the licensing on the NEC Voice server and CMP.  If you believe there are enough licenses, speak with your local NEC Technician for further guidance.

### 1/5 — End of life if you have it on an iPhone

*2020-12-29*

Was informed there will be issues in March if you have an iPhone and will have to use another app and pay 
This app is not establishing a good connection back to phone server

**Developer response:** The concern you are noting has nothing to do with the application or its operation going forward..  The device for which the application operates has a new requirement that is requiring adjustments to be made on the application.    Equipping the current application with the new requirement will require a update to the provisioning function that users are not accustomed.  In order to prevent the operation of the existing application from working, we have chosen to enable a new application that will support the requirement that is now being imposed without causing issue with existing users.

### 2/5 — Blah

*2020-11-03*

I have been an NEC technician for 30 years. I personally believe NEC phone systems are the best on the market hands-down. However their mobile app is terrible. The interface is nice setting it up is easy but there are way too many issues. If for some reason it goes off-line for a long period of time it does not come back online it will just say port full and I have to close application and reopen. I’ve seen many voip apps that work 10 times better. NEC you have a great product line just fix the mobile app please

**Developer response:** The problem you are experiencing is that you have too many users using the application without enough licenses.  The error noted on the application screen when launching the application 'Full Port" is indicating this issue.  I would suggest that you confirm the number of users that are utilizing the application and make sure you have enough licenses for activation of the client.

### 1/5 — Poor phone app

*2020-06-23*

Whether you connect the app to WiFi or cell network phone conversations between callers are choppy or underwater sounding. The same goes for retrieving the voicemails. It’s embarrassing having conversations with customers with how poor connection is. It also likes to go “offline” without you realizing it frequently. There is no option for mute or hold so there are times you have the awkward times of listening to each other breath if you have to do data entry. There is a hold button on the app, but all it does is disconnect them. I also had a decent amount of times the phone rings once or even a half a ring and then says missed call. This app will also drain phone battery real quick.

**Developer response:** All the problems that have been noted are do to incorrect programming of the client and voice server  (possible packet size) for the operation of this application.  It would seem there is also the possibility that there is an issue with the amount of bandwidth that is allocated on the device for the application.  Remember this is a real-time application so bandwidth is required.

### 3/5 — Support?

*2020-05-20*

Is there some way to get some support for this app?

**Developer response:** Yes.  This application is support by NEC Partners .  Please contact your local NEC Partner for additional support.
