How the MTN Webphone works
The MTN Webphone with Webex is powered by Cisco, a leading global provider of video conferencing and messaging solutions. This partnership ensures that you have access to a reliable and seamless communication experience.
Let’s delve into the key features and advantages of the MTN Webphone.
Make calls over the Internet
With the MTN Webphone, you can make calls using an internet connection from your PC, tablet, or smartphone. This means you can stay connected with your loved ones, friends, business partners, or employees, no matter where you are.
The convenience of making calls over the internet eliminates the need for traditional phone lines and helps you save costs.
Online meetings made easy
Gone are the days when you had to physically gather in one location for meetings. The MTN Webphone allows you to schedule or join online meetings from any location. Whether you are on a business trip or working remotely, you can connect with colleagues, clients, or friends easily.
This feature enhances collaboration and productivity, as you can engage in face-to-face conversations and share screens effortlessly.
Affordable local rates
One significant advantage of the MTN Webphone with Webex is the availability of a unique ‘032’ calling number. This number allows you to make or receive calls back home in Uganda at local rates.
This is particularly beneficial for individuals who frequently communicate with their friends, family, or business contacts in Uganda. By using the MTN Webphone, you can enjoy affordable communication without worrying about excessive charges.
