MAKING A STATUS CALL
Status Calls allow a Status Number to be sent between users. This Status Number can have a meaning that t
he user assigns to it.
e.g. 1 may mean: “Ready for Despatch”.
2 may mean: “At Lunch”.
3 may mean: “Contact Home”, (etc).
A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar to making Voice Calls.
