What is the new WakeUp Call feature? What
does it do?

With the Wakeup Call, all your calls can be in 100% Free mode, even

How does WakeUp Call work?
|
To use the WakeUp Call feature, you dial the usual telephone number
of the Aplio/Phone you want to call and you let it ring less than a predefined number of
times; then you hang up.
The Aplio/Phone of the receiving party detects the call you have
just made with less than (or equal to) the number of rings defined in the configuration
and sets itself automatically to 100% Free Mode.
Then you call in 100% Free mode using the Aplio ID of the receiving
party.

call, will I be able to call at anytime in 100% Free Mode?
