Overview
Mobile Routing allows Sharpen Q users to route queue interactions to their personal mobile phone, enabling them to handle calls from anywhere without being tied to a desk or computer-based audio device.
Mobile Routing is not enabled by default. If you do not see “Mobile Phone” as an option in your extension or Sharpen Q routing menu, contact the Sharpen Care team to request activation for your environment.
Before You Begin
Before a user can route calls to their mobile phone, a mobile number must be configured on their account. This can be done by either the user themselves or a Sharpen administrator.
Important Considerations
Mobile Routing introduces an additional telephony layer between Sharpen and your personal mobile carrier. Keep the following in mind before using this routing option:
-
Call Filtering and Spam Screening
Many mobile devices have built-in spam filters or third-party call filtering apps, such as Hiya, Nomorobo, or carrier-level screening features, that may flag or block calls coming from Sharpen's bridging numbers and route them directly to voicemail before the agent ever hears them ring. If you find that interactions are not ringing your mobile phone as expected, check for any active call filtering or spam screening settings on your device and disable or whitelist the relevant numbers as needed. This is outside of Sharpen's control and will need to be resolved by the device owner.
-
Call Quality and Troubleshooting
Because calls route through your mobile carrier, Sharpen has less control over call quality. Troubleshooting audio issues in mobile routing scenarios involves additional potential points of failure compared to computer-based audio, which can make diagnosis more complex.
-
How the Connection Works
Mobile Routing uses a bridging process to connect Sharpen to your external device. For outbound calls, your mobile phone will ring first, and the call to the remote party connects once you answer. For inbound queue interactions, your mobile phone rings after you accept the interaction through the Sharpen Q interface.
-
Call Tracking
Only calls handled through Sharpen Q are tracked in Sharpen. Calls placed directly to or from your mobile phone number outside of Sharpen Q will not appear in your interaction history or reports.
