Jabber

What is Jabber?

Jabber Softphone operates like a phone, but through your computer and the internet rather than traditional phone lines. Jabber Softphone allows you to use a Michigan Medicine CoreImage windows computer or mobile phone (Android/iPhone) to answer a single U-M phone number. For information on how to start using Jabber Softphone, please visit our Knowledgebase.

Using Jabber on Smartphones

If you wish to use your personal iPhone or Android mobile device for use with Michigan Medicine jabber, you will need to install Intune on your device to be in compliance with Information Assurance policy. Learn more about Intune.  Note: If you use a device to access or store sensitive institutional data, you'll need to comply with Michigan Medicine policy on device use (UMHS Policy 01-04-507: Mobile Device Security).

Check the U-M Finance website to see if there are any current discounts on cellular plans. 

If your Department is purchasing a smartphone for you, please follow your departmental process for ordering and approval of equipment. For information on strategic vendors, go to U-M Procurement.
