Value

A TelephonyCall object representing the currently active call.

Examples

// Telephony object

// Receive a call
tel.onincoming = function (e) {
  var incomingCall = e.call;
  // Answer the call
  incomingCall.answer();
};
// should return the call referenced in the above function
var activeCall = tel.active;
