== DTMF keypad ==

This keypad is used to interact with automated menus (press "1" for...) and other interactive services. Clients without such a keypad will be unable to navigate such services.

== Contacts/dialer integration ==

Most XMPP clients expect you to enter the XMPP address of a contact before you can message or call them. The XMPP addresses of phone numbers accessed through Cheogram's service look like {{{+12065550100@cheogram.com}}}. Converting phone numbers to XMPP addresses and adding them to the app before you can message/call can be annoying if you often need to contact new numbers.

Some operating systems provide ways for applications to integrate with your existing contact list and phone app.

== Legacy calls ==

Some clients have not been updated to use the latest standards for XMPP calling. There are indicated by "Legacy" in the "Calls" column above.

* Legacy calls may be unencrypted over the internet.
* Clients supporting legacy calls may not ring for incoming calls if you have non-legacy clients connected to your account.
