Using the Phone.com mobile app lets you make calls through your Phone.com service using your cell phone’s mobile connection.
It also lets you manage many of your account settings on the go. Assuming you are either on WiFi or a mobile data connection, you can access your Phone.com address book, call logs, Inbox, conference calling and SMS functions.
Installing the Phone.com Mobile App on Your iOS Device
You can download and install the Phone.com Mobile app for iOS directly from the App Store. The app requires iOS 10.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
The Phone.com Mobile app will install automatically on your iOS device when you tap Get in the App Store.
Before Using the Mobile App
To connect, you will need to enter your Phone.com phone number, your cell phone number, a Phone.com extension number and your voicemail password, which is stored in your Phone.com voicemail settings.
Keep in mind that you can use a free virtual extension with the Phone.com Mobile app, but that you will not be able to make VoIP calls with a virtual extension. If you think you will want to activate VoIP calling (as opposed to regular mobile calls using the app), then use a mobile extension.
