Jabber Voice (Jabber) is a soft-phone client that allows you to make calls through your computer on your Mass General Brigham phone line. It is meant for mobile users so they can work connected when a Mass General Brigham physical phone is not present.

Jabber uses your existing office phone number. 

***911 Disclaimer***  If you make a 911 or other emergency call, you must explicitly state your location. Mass General Brigham, MGH and BWH Security, and local emergency services are unable to determine your location automatically or remotely via Caller ID or other methods.
