In some scenarios, Remote Desktop Support is required to help you to resolve the issues you are experiencing or our team needs to further investigate or act from within your network. Examples are when special changes need to be made to Wildix Hardware, issues that you experience on only one account with Zendesk and Wildix, or Wildix Extensions that are not functioning properly.
Remote Desktop Support is provided via a secure connection using Splashtop SOS. In most scenarios, you receive a message from our agents with a direct download link. Unlike other Remote Desktop applications, you do not end up with an application that needs to be installed. Splashtop SOS is a one-time running application. In some other scenarios, for example when you experience issues on a mobile device, you need to download Splashtop SOS yourselves and provide our Support team with your 9 digit access number.
