When a call is made to your InnoCaption number, whether directly or forwarded from your regular phone number (click here for instructions to set up automatic call forwarding), you will receive a pop-up notification. The pop-up notification will prompt you to either accept or decline the call. The notifications look slightly different between iPhone and Android, and the process to answer the call is slightly different depending if your phone is unlocked or locked.
