MultiLine FAQ

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. This is all done completely with software and without the need for a second SIM. 

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, Microsoft Teams, 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.

There are a few ways you can get a separate Work number on your smartphone:

• Getting an additional SIM Card
• Using a VOIP number
• the MultiLine way

Your MultiLine number is the product of a unique patented technology created by Movius. Unlike a SIM Card, you don't have to buy or insert anything into the phone, you only need to install and activate the MultiLine mobile application or activate the MultiLine Desktop application to get your Work number. Unlike a VOIP number, your MultiLine number is a real, carrier-grade number. This means that unlike with VOIP, you don't need an Internet connection to make calls.

Our app is built with user privacy, security, and ease-of-use in mind. If your organization needs reports on your company use of the phone, your private calls and messages will be completely private and only your Work call and message data are captured as necessary. If your organization needs recordings for compliance or regulatory oversight, only your Work calls and messages will be captured.

No, users can only activate MultiLine on one phone or tablet at a time.

If the user switches phones or tablet, when they activate MultiLine on the new device,  access to MultiLine on the other device will be deactivated.

We anticipate that there will be little or no change to the monthly mobile phone bill of most employees. First, most mobility plans include unlimited text and voice calling—so no extra costs there. Second, MultiLine supports text, voice, and data on Wi-Fi networks—so that’s free. Third, even for people with tiered data plans, the average data usage for MultiLine is only 100MB per month, which isn’t likely to push anyone over the typical 3 - 4 GB monthly limit.

The MultiLine service can support any phone numbers, including any country code, or any area code. 

Although technologically, MultiLine could support short codes, vanity numbers, and hotlines, the service is optimized for 1:1 communications. 

English, Spanish and Portuguese languages are natively supported.

People use MultiLine as their work number for communicating with clients, partners and co-workers. When it comes to internal communications between co-workers, it's important to keep the conversation happening between work numbers rather than any personal numbers that may be added to the Contact list. 

The MultiLine Indicator "M" icon appears near a contact name or number to identify it as a MultiLine number. This makes it easy to identify a co-worker's MultiLine number within MultiLine applications. The indicator appears for all MultiLine users in the company across all regions where the company operates.
