The Phone Number App for Handymen
Index adds a second number to your existing phone with features to help you be more responsive, organized, and efficient while separating work from your personal life. Read below to learn more about phone number apps—and why Index is different from the others.
Understanding Phone Number Apps
Giving your personal phone number out for business can quickly become a nuisance. It’s difficult to know whether incoming calls are work-related or personal and even more difficult to keep your communication organized. To top it all off, you’ll have clients contacting you at all hours of the day and night for every reason imaginable. Good news: second phone number apps exist.
What’s a Second Phone Number App?
Second phone number apps operate independently from your primary phone number, allowing you to separate work communications from personal calls and texts. Once installed, a second number app usually provides you with a dedicated, fully functional business number on the phone you already have.
However, many phone number apps rely on the internet (VoIP technology) to connect calls, which can affect call quality and limit the range and quality of your call.
What Is Index? How’s It Different From Other Phone Number Apps?
Index is a premium second phone number app that provides handymen with a dedicated phone number for business communications—without having to purchase a second phone or cell plan.
The Index app is available on both mobile and desktop, and it includes a robust set of features to handle missed calls automatically, speed business transactions, and make interacting with your clients more convenient and organized at every step. Index’s innovative Texting Toolbar allows you to access those features and take action immediately to keep your clients happy.
Unlike other second number apps, our patented technology enables Index to provide carrier-level call quality by connecting calls through your existing plan, so you don’t need an internet connection to use it. However, you can always enable optional internet (VoIP) calling if your carrier connection is spotty.
