Can Cloud Voice Express app on Android remember login credentials

I am constantly getting logged out of the  Cloud Voice Express App so when I am not in the office I am constantly unsure whether I am going to receive calls through the app or not, and I have even ended up missing calls (they have gone to voicemail, when they didn't need to).

Is there a way to ensure the app is constantly logged in and doesn't randomly log me out?

Latest version of Android and CVE app.

Hi, 

 

I am sorry about this. The alternative is to active the full divert from the CVE app to the mobile when you will be out of office.

Assistance on a divert setup can be viewed here How do I divert calls on Cloud Voice Express? | BT Business

 

Thank you

Thanks Adam,
This would be fine as a backup solution, but when CVE is advertised as being able to be used without having physical phones and just using the app, shouldn't BT give the app the ability to stay logged in?
Having to navigate through the login pages and settings pages every time I leave the office is a pain, when the app should just stay logged in.
Is there a reason that it doesn't? Is it by design, or is it an issue that they are looking to resolve?
I would much prefer an app that works as it should rather than having to resort to lots of diverting and undiverting every time I leave or come back to the office.

Should I be logging this as a technical fault on the BT site instead?

Hi,

 

This is universal the app auto logs out for everyone. This has been flagged by users before but as it stands I have been told of no moves to change anything on it our end. You can speak to the cloud voice team directly about it though.

 

Thank you

I have just had an internet connection installed in my workshop and thought the idea of being able to have a 'landline' number that could be answered whilst I was away from the workshop was a brilliant idea and couldn't wait to get it setup and start using it. I installed the app and tried calling my other half as a test... brilliant! Then when she tried to ring me back later in the day, I tried to answer but the screen asking for username and password popped up! My username and password are both fairly long and complicated, so trying to fill that in before answering a call is ridiculous. I click on the app multiple times throughout a day to see what happens and sometimes it asks me to login, but sometimes not? I just don't trust it to work and now don't want to advertise this new number for my business as I don't know if I'll actually receive the call.  The reviews of the app on the Play store say it all and I wish I'd seen those before signing up ☹️

Hi Adamh0

 

Is it the CVE App you are using?

Hi BethM, 

 

Yes, I am using the CVE App (well trying to but it's not really fit for purpose as it won't stay logged in). As I was so frustrated with the app, I purchased a phone and tried connecting it to the hub (and the process for this was very easy) but then had an error message on the phone saying there was no internet connection (but there obviously was as every other device using the connection worked). After calling BT, it appears that if I want to have a phone in my workshop, I must buy either a Cisco or Yearlink one from BT (meaning even though the one I have already bought is a BT branded phone that connects to the smart hub, it is actually useless and will never work). The person I spoke to said he would call back at 2.30 on Friday (as I said that I wanted to have a think about it before spending even more money on another phone) but he never actually bothered to call me back. I am so regretting going through BT and now I've passed the cooling off period, I am going to be stuck with it till the contract ends. I think I'm going to end up just using Wifi calling on my mobile phone, rather than use the new 'landline/local' number I have been given (which is a massive pain as the entire reason I chose BT in the first place is because I wanted to advertise/promote my business using the local number, rather than a mobile number).

Hi Adamh0

 

Can you please send over a private message with some account details so I can look into this for you?
