Using Outlook to make a phone call via lync

I have Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010 clients installed on a workstation, with full VoIP for Lync for external and internal calls.
I want to know if its possible to have Outlook place a voice call via lync automatically based on a rule or via custom VBA in outlook?  Is it possible to do the same but send SMS instead of a voice call?
It seems possible as the tools integrate quite well, but I haven't found any documentation supporting it yet.

You can call a phone contact in outlook, then it will open a Lync Window.
But not sure if a rule or custom VBA can make it automatically.
You may consultant the outlook expert.

  • Want to make phone calls via bluetooth on my iPhone from iPad

    I can link my Garmin GPS to my iPhone via Bluetooth and make or receive phone calls.
    I would like an iPas app that provides the sametype functionality including:
    Make calls
    Receive calls
    Look uphone numbers
    Is this possible?  Using what app?

    There are a couple of Apps out there that will allow you to use a Google Voice phone number to make and recieve calls via the iPad. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you are trying to replicate the Garmin / iPhone setup I don't think that is possible.
    Google Voice  setup - gvconnect and talkatone. (wifi)
    Skype - I think that you can make phone calls via Skype and Wifi.
    I don't have a clue as if it is possible to make a phone call over 3G via the iPad.

    Go into your contacts and edit them.

  • Is it possible to make a phone call (not FaceTime) from my iPad if I'm using 3G and not Wi-Fi?

    I was tyring to send a text message or make a phone call from my iPad when I was on hotspot with my iPhone but it didnt work...
    I use this feature when I'm at home on Wi-Fi. I would like to know whether this is possible or not...
    Thanks in advance

    No, the feature works at home by going through your iPhone to make the call.

  • Can i use my itouch to make skype phone calls without wifi.

    Can i use my itouch to make skype phone calls away from a wifi source just like a conventional mobile phone.

    No. The iPod does not have a cellular connection. Thus, an iPod without wifi can't connect to the Internet

  • My iphone has a warm temperature when idle and it gets warm when I make certain phone calls using the ear buds that came with the iphone

    I am experiencing warm temperatures with my iphone 4? I cannot explain it but it seems to happen when I make certain phone calls or if the phone is just sitting idle? Any insight on this problem is much appreciated.

    When you say "shift to speaker mode" are tapping on "speaker" icon thta appears on the screen when you take the phone away from your ear? IF so go to settings/general/accessibility/incoming calls and check "default"

  • How do I make a phone call from my mac with yosemite?

    How do I make a phone call from my MacBook Pro on the Yosemite operating system?

    The following quotation is from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    There is more information in the link, including supported hardware and that you must have Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls set to on on the iPhone.
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Make a call
    To make a phone call on your Mac, iPad or iPod touch tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari.

  • I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • What is facetime audio and can I use it to make free international calls between iPhones?

    what is facetime audio and can I use it to make free international calls between iphones?

    First, check
    1. Settings > General > Restrictions: should be OFF > FaceTime: ON?
    2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime: ON?
         ou can be reached by FaceTime at: your phone number?
    If all the above are correct, see below:
    FaceTime is available with iPhone 4 or latter, except those iPhones that were sold in the Middle East.
    Can you tell us which iPhone model that has no FaceTime?

    Hi Bo S.,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot make an outgoing call using your iPad. Included below are the instructions for using Continuity to make calls from your iPad. If you are set up correctly and still are unable to make a call after following the information in the article, please let me know at what point in the process the failure happens and what happens at that point. 
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • I don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to sent a message? is it possible?

    i don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to senSeleneGMt a message? What do i need? or is it impossible?

    You can't; not natively, anyway, since the iPad is not a phone. If you want to make a call, you'll need to use some third-party Voice-Over-IP service such as Skype.
    I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask about sending a message. If you mean a text message, you can either use iMessage, which can send messages to other users also running iMessage, or you can look in the iTunes Store for SMS apps, a few of which are available. They use separate services to actually send the message and so require an Internet connection, either WiFi or 3G.
    Regards.

  • Blackberry Shuts Down when I make a phone call or access to the internet

    Please help someone, 
    I know there are similar question before. I took a look at them. but there was no solution. 
    just crossing my finger. 
    my blackberry is...
    Curve 9360
    3G wifi
    7.1 Bundle 2102 ( v 7.1.0.746  Platform 9.6.0.112)
    Hope it is enough info on my cellphone. 
    Everytime I make a phone call or use the internet, it shuts down immediately. when I received the phone call as well. 
    and I need to charge it first and then I can turn on again.
    It is not buttery consumption since the buttery sign shows almost full when I turn on again. 
    I would like to fix and use this phone at least another year. It has been 2 and half years. should work properly more!
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi everyone who gave me solutions,
    I appreciate all of your help and Im so sorry for late update. 
    I tried them, but did not work unfortunately. so I bought a new battery for $9 and now it's working very well like a new phone. 
    I will try to charge battery when it's almost gone.(not all the time) and try not to use phone while it's charging.
    I believe that it lengthens cell/battery life. 
    Thank you again for your help.
