Note: As of version 48 (released in November 2019), Grid 3 no longer requires using CallCenter or Remote Phone Call. For guidance on how to use the new phone features take a look at the new article here.
CallCenter is a program used to access smart phones. It comes in two parts, an app for your phone and Windows software for your device.
CallCenter is currently version 6.3. This offers two types of connection to your mobile phone. Currently only the ‘Android app via Bluetooth connection’ is supported.
It is important to trial the Remote Phone Call App and CallCentre on your device before you purchase as functionally may vary depending on your phone.
Unfortunately the Google Play Store do not offer refunds.
