# Using Connect on Web
Zuper isn't just your go-to platform for managing field service operations efficiently, it also includes a built-in phone system designed specifically for service businesses: **Zuper Phone**. This add-on feature enables you to answer incoming calls and make outgoing calls with just one click within the Zuper-web app.
All you have to do is [purchase a Zuper phone number](https://docs.zuper.co/Zuper_Connect/Setup-Zuper-Connect/getting_zuper_phone_number) for your business to make and receive calls via the Zuper web app. You will receive a browser notification when calls come in, seamlessly answer them with the [call routing](https://docs.zuper.co/Zuper_Connect/Setup-Zuper-Connect/call_routing) flow, and see a full history of all calls through the [call logs](https://docs.zuper.co/Zuper_Connect/navigating_Call_Logs) feature.
**Things to know**
* Admins can access Zuper phone on the web, but must have **permissions enabled** in the settings. For detailed steps, refer to "[How to Manage User Permissions](https://docs.zuper.co/Zuper_Connect/Setup-Zuper-Connect/User_permissions)." Once you have the necessary permissions, you will:
1. Receive browser notifications for incoming calls.
2. Seamlessly answer calls directly from your browser.
3. Have a 360-degree view of customer interactions, including messages, calls, voicemails, call recordings, and internal comments from the Zuper Connect Inbox/Conversation.
* Ensure your **status** and **web app availability are set correctly** to receive incoming call notifications.
**Available Status:**
If your status is set as "**Available**" and you are **not busy** with other calls, **notifications will be sent** to both web and mobile devices. If the web app status is offline, notifications will be sent only to your mobile device.
**Unavailable or Busy Status:**
If your status is "**Unavailable**" or you are **busy** with other calls, incoming call **notifications will not be sent**.
