Cisco IP Phones Text Broadcast

Variphy’s Broadcast feature allows you to send informational or emergency text messages to one, or more Cisco IP phones. Imagine reaching multiple people at once, with a message that won't get lost in the notorious blackhole most commonly referred to as your email inbox. Variphy Insight enables you to quickly inform and notify your users as well as solicit and track responses.
