Comcast Business App Doesn't Ring Through Mobile

We have many users now on the Comcast Business App working remotely. Most are on iOS with a couple on Android devices. None of the devices rings when a call is incoming. Notifications pop up, but no sound. I could have sworn I've heard a sound on my phone through this app.

 

Is there notification by sound through the Business App on incoming calls? If so, how do we turn this on?

 

Some things I've tried:

 

Notificaions are on.

Notifications are set for sound, vibration, and banners.

The phone is not silenced or in any sort of silent mode.

The ringer is turned up.

DND is not on.

Thank you for helping to get a ticket in and getting this resolved; though, I'm not sure why the resolution required such. On my support call, the technician seemed to intimate that it was a setting I could make in the portal. He went ahead and made the setting for all of our employees, for which I am grateful, but I would have much rather known what that setting is for future reference.

I've been having the same problem and I was hoping the answer would be here. The canned responses of "Send us your info directly" to help requests are not helpful to the community.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out to us regarding your issues with calls on the business app. I very much appreciate your patience and greatly apologize for the delay in our response. I know how important the services are to your business and we want to do all that we can to assist. I wish that I had a blanket answer for you and I am sorry to hear that you are having this issue with the phone calls not ringing through. This would be an issue that we would have to troubleshoot directly which is why we are asking that you reach out to us with the account information so that we can look into the account and see where the issue may be. I know that your time is valuable and I want to get to the bottom of this for you as quickly as I can. Can you please reach out through private message with your first and last name, business service address and account number or phone number?

Here's what I found from doing this a few times:

 

In the Voice Edge Portal, navigate to the Services pull-down and select Business VoiceEdge User.

Select the VoiceEdge User you want.

Navigate to the Be Anywhere Settings and insure that there is a cell phone there and that it is set to active.

 

On the User's cell phone, navigate to the App and open it.

From the My Phone page, click on the Gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Tap on Manage Phones.

If there is no phone there, Add Phone.

After insuring there is an entry for a phone (usually a cell phone), back out one level.

Tap on Be Anywhere.

Insure that the entry for the Cell phone is shaded in. You can tap on it to notice how the shading toggles to insure that it is shaded in.

 

Once this is shaded in, it should work.

 

I hope this is helpful.

I got a new phone and I downloaded the app, but I cannot make outgoing calls. Do I need to enable something on my phone? We use Comcast Business App through my employer. Halp. Thank you for any tips/ideas.
