Call any phone in the world, from the same app
Your radio reaches your own crew. The job also needs the customer, the yard that still answers a landline, and the number on the side of a lorry. World Phone puts a real phone in the same app, on numbers that belong to you.
Rent a number where your customers are
A local number gets answered. A foreign one gets ignored, and a withheld one gets ignored twice. Numbers are rented from inside the console, in the country and area code that makes sense for the people you are calling.
- Rent and release from the console — no carrier account of your own, no contract per country
- Assign a number to a person, a team, or a site, so the callback reaches whoever is on shift
- Release it when the season ends; a rented number bills monthly until somebody stops it, and the console says so plainly
Calls that cost what you decided they cost
Phone bills catch people out two different ways: the number costs the same every month whether you use it or not, and the calling adds up by the minute. So you get a limit on each, because one number cannot hold back both.
- A cap on how many numbers your team can have at once
- A monthly ceiling on calling. We stop at it — it is not the app politely asking
- Every penny is itemised, and you can check our working. A refund shows up as its own line; we never quietly edit a number after the fact
- If something has to be retried behind the scenes, you are still only charged once
It behaves like a phone, because it is one
It is a phone. A keypad that beeps, a list of who you rang, voicemail, and a call that holds while somebody walks between buildings.
- The keypad works during a call too, so “press 2 for accounts” actually gets you to accounts
- Recent calls and voicemail sit in the app, not on some phone company website
- Your radio keeps working while you are on a call. The phone does not take over the handset
What an admin controls
The phone is off until you turn it on, and letting your team see it is a second switch. You can have it and be the only person who can spend on it.
- Off unless you ask for it. An update never quietly signs you up
- Turn it on for the company, then decide separately whether the crew sees it
- Hidden means hidden — not just an icon the app decided not to draw
- Switching it off does not give your numbers back. They keep billing until you release them, because losing a number people still ring would be worse
What this costs you in privacy, stated plainly
A phone call is not private the way your radio is, and it cannot be. It leaves us for the ordinary phone network, where a phone company handles the audio — exactly like every other call you have ever made.
- Talking to your own crew stays locked to their handsets. A phone call is not, and the app says so rather than letting you assume
- We keep who called whom, when, and for how long. That is what a bill is made of
- Adding a phone changes nothing about your channels. They are separate, and so is what we promise about each
Worth a conversation?
If telephony on your own numbers would change how your crew works, tell us the countries and the volumes — that is what decides what we finish first.
