The Next Disruptive Opportunity in Communications

How can we push this industry to a fundamental shift? What's the next  game changing communications technology? We want to design technology that is elegant and simple.

Hosted Numbers App - Version 2 Coming Soon!

In October, we released our first mobile app for iOS devices, and we've gotten some great feedback. People have really enjoyed the ability to access voicemails, call recordings, recent call data, and forwarding number configurations on-the-go. However, we also uncovered a few bugs and usability issues since the release, which we made a priority to resolve asap. We're pleased to report that a new version of the app is being submitted to the Apple App Store this week. Specifically, the new version addresses the following bugs and feature enhancements:

• Improved error messages. Some error messages were too generic; you'll find that the new messages are more specific to the immediate action you were performing.
• Improved refresh operation. All screens now support "pull to refresh" for better usability.
• The message player has been enhanced to include a progress slider during playback of Voicemails and Call Recordings.
• The 'Call Back' option for Voicemails and Call Recordings has been fixed so that the dial-to number is no longer cut off.

At Hosted Numbers, we take pride in providing services with great features, strong usability and reliability you can count on. If there are additional enhancements that would make our iOS app more useful, please let us know and we'll do our best to add them in the near future. (An Android version is already in the works.)
