What is the link between Orange Phone and Work Contacts?

Orange Phone is the Orange application that can be the default dialler (specific Orange call screen) or act in overlay mode (display additional information above the native call screen).

The main features of Orange Phone rely on the identification of numbers that call you or you call, to assure a serene usage of your mobile device:

• spam information (unwanted, telemarketing, approved)
• overtaxed number prices
• verified caller information (from Orange)
• ...

In a professional usage, another source of identification of number is available : the company directory that contains the professional numbers (fix or mobile) of the employees of the company.

If this company directory is hosted in Office 365 Azure from Microsoft, Work Contacts is THE solution to add this directory as an additional source of identification of numbers in Orange Phone.

Work Contacts app makes the link between Orange Phone and the company directory Azure by respecting all the security rules imposed by the company. Once the user is connected with his Azure identity, a session is opened and maintained with the Azure directory.

Then, for each call or search within Orange Phone, unless the number is already part of your local contacts, Work Contacts will be automatically requested to check if the searched information (name or number) is part of the directory or not.
