Move Audio from a Cisco IP Phone 8800
Series Multiplatform Phone to Mobile Device
and Vice Versa
Objective
The Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones allow you to pair your mobile device
such as phone or tablet through Bluetooth. This connection allows you to make and answer
phone calls on either the mobile device or the IP Phone. This ability to use the mobile line on
your IP phone is called Intelligent Proximity.

After configuring your mobile device, your IP phone displays an additional phone line with
your mobile phone number. You can then make, receive, and move calls from your mobile
phone through your IP Phone.
If you have both a Bluetooth headset and a mobile device connected, you cannot use the
Bluetooth headset to answer the audio from the mobile device.
This article provides instructions on how to manage mobile calls on your Cisco IP Phone
8800 Series Multiplatform Phone.
