When it comes to business communications, phone calls just aren’t going away (as much as we like to say that it is).

And for both small business owners and large enterprises, the fact is that many clients and prospects will still try to reach you on the phone.

Which means that even though you could try to get away with just using your personal phone, you could probably make life a lot easier by using a proper business phone app that lets you forward calls, lots your voicemails, and records or transcribes your calls (among other things).

Advanced VoIP technology

Dialpad uses a special flavor of unique VoIP technology and a global network that together, allow you to make calls over Wi-Fi or an Internet connection and provide incredible call quality around the world—and yes, even send faxes over the Internet.

Call routing

On traditional phone systems, you had to look up to small business phone numbers and personal numbers in a manual or cheat sheet in a binder somewhere in order to transfer a call. With Dialpad, call transfers take only a few seconds. Just type out a contact’s name and Dialpad will pull up everyone in your company directory.
