Groundwire by Acrobits Mobile App on iPhone or Android
The mobile app allows you to make and receive calls from your office or home phone number on your cell phone as long as you have access to WiFi or cellular data. This way, when you call people, your work number shows up and you don’t need to share your cell phone number with anyone, helping you look more professional and helping you to separate your private life from your work.
