EmblaReach is a mobile network service that allows you to control your incoming phone calls. EmblaReach service is integrated to selected mobile networks and controlling of your incoming phone calls is handled inside mobile network based on your personal EmblaReach settings.
You use EmblaReach mobile app to change your EmblaReach settings and to store those settings to an EmblaReach server. These settings affect how your incoming phone calls are handled inside a mobile network.
EmblaReach mobile app itself does not affect your phone calls in any way, it is only a user interface for modifying your server-side EmblaReach settings. Thus running or not running the EmblaReach mobile app does not affect your mobile phone calls in any way. Your all incoming phone calls are allowed by default in EmblaReach service.
You use EmblaReach mobile app by selecting your current status from a list of possible statuses: Available, Away, Busy, Lunch, Meeting and Out of Office. You can specify an optional end time for your statuses. You can change your status any time and you can schedule future statuses as well.
You also specify a default call handling action for each of the statuses. Supported call handling actions for your incoming phone calls are:
- Allow all calls
- Block certain calls based on calling number
- Forward calls to one or more persons
- Forward calls to voicemail
- Allow specified VIP callers to reach you any time
If a call handling action (other than "Allow all calls") is active, then callers will hear an automatic announcement describing your current status and the call handling action to be taken, e.g: "The person you are trying to reach is currently in a meeting and will be available at 2 PM. Your call will be forwarded to voicemail."
This way, your incoming call handling can be easily changed just by changing your EmblaReach status via the EmblaReach mobile app.
