O2

Mobile Recording from O2 is a next generation mobile voice recording (MVR) solution that captures calls and text messages made and received on any mobile device regardless of operating system.

O2 MVR can be delivered as a hosted on premise or hybrid solution.  For more information on the O2 solution, please refer to the O2 website at https://www.o2.co.uk/business/why-o2/customer-stories/mvr

Verba directly imports O2 recordings via secure connection and depending on the value of the Polling Lag will run behind the current time a certain number of hours or minutes.  This is to allow current calls to finish recording before import.

For a general description of Verba Import sources, please refer to Import sources.

Recording is supported for the following modalities:

  • Voice

O2 Retry Capability

The O2 import source can retry ingestion if required.  Add empty files to the directory Program Files\Verba\work\cdrimport\O2\retryBuffer\policyId_importSourceId with the same name as the O2 Id (no file extension).

Once added, the file is automatically removed from the retry buffer when the import runs, but is automatically added back if there is any issue.
