What Is The PiPcall Virtual Mobile Phone?
The PiPcall virtual mobile phone is an app that can be downloaded onto any smartphone via the Apple and Android app stores.
The app acts like a virtual SIM card, equipping the user with a separate way to make and receive calls and texts on their personal phone. It includes a second number, a separate call plan and other business mobile phone features.
Why Is PiPcall Different?
The key difference between PiPcall and other apps (Soft-phones) is it uses the GSM mobile voice network to call not Wi-Fi or data (3G, 4G) like other apps and soft-phones. The virtual SIM app works on both Apple and Android phones and is carrier agnostic, meaning it uses the mobile voice network of the phone it is downloaded on. This has two advantages:
1) The quality of the call is far superior to data calls and doesn’t use the users personal calling plan. Read more about Pipcalls’ s GSM calling technology here.
2) The user is not charged for using the app. All charges are received by the administrator of the account and are managed separately via a portal, read about the portal here.
Get Mobile Phone Features Without Paying Thousands
PiPcall offers a host of unique business-grade features. Because it is a mobile phone in an virtual SIM app it is quick and cost effective to deploy to teams.
A Dedicated Call Plan:
Our patented technology ensures we never use your personal mobile minutes. PiPcall comes with its own plan that includes a generous call allowance bundle as standard. This mean when your staff are using PiPcall as their dedicated business mobile phone, they do not use personal minutes.
A Choice Of Phone Numbers:
We give you the ability to choose the most appropriate virtual number for individual employees. This includes your existing number, a new mobile number or a new geo-based landline number. You can even forward your existing number to the app during the trial.
A Large-Scale Contacts Directory:
Your teams can, with PiPcall, house all their business contacts in one place – separate from their personal contacts. This allows for a seamless switch between the making of personal calls, and business calls.
Segmented Call History Tracking:
Smart call tracking means that your team can view in and outbound business calls made via PiPcall separately from their personal call records.
Extremely High Quality Calls:
All the calls that are handled by our app are done so via the GSM network. Calls are GSM carrier grade delivering far superior call quality, reliability and coverage than to that VoIP services.
Integrated Do Not Disturb Functionality:
Work life balance is important. When your staff want to relax at home or on holiday all they need to do is switch on the “do not disturb” function to have incoming calls sent straight to their business voicemail.
A Brand New Business Voicemail
Business voicemail management can be a challenge. We have built a dedicated business voicemail that is separate from the personal voicemail system – facilitating streamlined management of messages.
Differentiated Ringtone:
Allows users to assign a different ring tone for incoming business calls received via PiPcall. This provides audible differentiation between an incoming business phone call and a personal phone call.

What Are The Benefits Of Using PiPcall Verses A Mobile Handset?
Employees will no longer have to carry around two mobile phones as everything is located in one place, but this doesn’t mean they have to mix business and pleasure. The in-app ‘do not disturb’ feature lets employees fully enjoy time off, while incoming calls are professionally diverted to their in-app business voicemail.
Because PiPcall is located in one central app, due to its ‘do not disturb’ function, users can easily divert calls to a business voicemail, leaving them to enjoy their time at home, or holiday. This is different to a work mobile phone, where users have no choice but to carry around a second phone. This can lead to undue stress and can decrease the quality of relaxation time for users.
It’s a great way for users to manage business calls. Users can make and receive business calls on the move without carrying around a second phone. If the user is given a geographic number they can present that number when making calls no matter where they are. This is a very professional way to call clients when out of the office. PiPcall comes with a separate contacts directory and voicemail so no information needs to be kept outside of the app and on the users personal apps (Personal and business never mix).
Information stored in PiPcall can be wiped externally. This is useful if the user loses their mobile phone.
We Put The User First
Users shouldn’t have to use technology unless it benefits them. Unfortunately, most virtual phone system app providers are built to benefit the business owner or administrator. Here are three reasons why PiPcall is different.
We are not a softphone
Apps supplied by cloud based virtual phone system providers (those that use 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi to make calls) use your data to make calls. This results in the user footing the bill for work calls.
No extra hardware required
There’s no reason why you users should be tied to their desk. Especially if the reason is the existing telecoms provider only supplies desk phones or low-performing soft-phones.
More than call forwarding
There are many providers of virtual numbers and call forwarding solutions. The seem appealing on the surface but in reality they require some form of established telecoms, whether a home office or an office with existing desk phones. Call forwarding solutions use the users personal mobile data to make and receive calls and don’t always keep the users personal number private.
