Get Started: MultiLine for Intune

What is MultiLine?

Read on to learn about the MultiLine service.

Overview

MultiLine provides users a separate business number for all work calls, texts, social messaging, voicemail, and contacts on their smart phone. You'll be able to do all your work calling and messaging using this separate phone number, and keep your personal number private. 

MultiLine mobile apps provide a separate dialer, call and message log, voicemail, and business features. You can also use your MultiLine number from the desktop or from within Salesforce CRM.

Because the MultiLine number is a real carrier-supported number, you don't need an internet connection to make calls but can use cellular minutes. You'll learn more about this in Call Settings: Set Data or Minutes calling modes.


About MultiLine for Intune

MultiLine for Intune is a secure, carrier-agnostic business application that enables employees to compliantly communicate with external clients through a separate business number on their own personal devices, specially built to be managed by Microsoft Intune. This version of MultiLine allows IT and mobility managers to secure their client communication data while ensuring employees are not using their personal number or other consumer messengers for business communications.  

MultiLine for Intune works over any iOS/Android device and can be deployed over any global carrier. MultiLine’s patented technology allows employees to make and receive calls on their business number over WiFi, mobile data and/or GSM (not VoIP-only) ensuring employees are always accessible and connected with their clients no matter where they work.
