Administration Guide for Cisco Jabber for iPhone
Cisco Jabber for iPhone provides users with VoIP calling, visual voicemail, and access to the corporate directory from an iOS device.
Cisco Jabber is distinct from the Cisco Mobile application that runs in conjunction with a Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage server.
Note
The voice quality of calls will vary depending on the Wi-Fi or mobile data network connection. Cisco TAC is not able to troubleshoot connectivity or voice quality when using 3G/4G mobile data networks or non-corporate Wi-Fi networks when using Cisco Jabber or when using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
