The Splicecom iPCS iPhone application is designed to operate as an extension of the Splicecom IP PBX. The connectivity from the iPhone to the system utilises either WiFi, internet or GSM. The application enables the iPhone to replicate the functionality of a Splicecom IP system phone. Important: The Splicecom iPCS iPhone application will only operate when registered to a Splicecom IP PBX, and without that registration will not work at all. To register to the Splicecom IP PBX requires licences to be installed on the Splicecom Call Server. Please consult with the IT department within your organisation to understand if your existing telephone system is a Splicecom and if it can support this application.
