Cenaly Phone Early access

An employee’s work number — on their smartphone

Cenaly Phone connects a smartphone to the employee’s extension on the Cenaly PBX: calls like on a desk phone, plus the call log, a colleague directory and a caller card.

One line-up on Android and iOS: the same account, the same locations and data. The goal is the same features on both platforms; where the iOS version differs, it is said below.

What it does

One-tap connection

Sign in with your account and tap “Connect this phone” — no manual SIP setup; the password is stored encrypted.

Calls

The Android system call screen, over the lock screen, Bluetooth headset, hold, both kinds of transfer, DTMF.

Log and directory

PBX call log, colleagues with presence, caller card.

Your availability

Pause in groups, “Do not disturb”, “Call me”.

Calls from other apps

Cenaly Admin and Cenaly CRM place calls through Phone.

Diagnostics

A connection check and sending diagnostics to support from the app.

Limits, honestly

  • You need the Cenaly PBX with an extension for the employee; the owner allows staff to connect their own phones.
  • It works only with its own PBX: third-party SIP accounts (a provider, an office PBX) connect to the Cenaly PBX as a trunk, not to the app.
  • Tested on a real phone against a test PBX; acceptance on a live customer PBX has not happened yet.
  • The iOS version is for iPhone only, not iPad.
  • Android versions are distributed as an installation file right from this site — they are not on Google Play yet; iPhone and iPad versions are released through the App Store. Features were tested on emulators and test devices; acceptance in working venues is still in progress.

How to install

  1. Open this page on the Android device itself and tap “Download APK”.
  2. Open the downloaded file. On the first install Android asks to allow installs from this source (your browser) — allow it.
  3. Tap “Install” and wait until it finishes — the icon appears on the home screen.
  4. Launch the app and sign in: email and password, or a QR code issued by the web dashboard.

Updating works the same way: download the file again and install it over the old one; your sign-in is kept.

Sign-in

The same account as the web dashboard: email and password, a QR code for a shared device, and an authenticator code if two-factor protection is on. Staff only see the locations of their role.
