Things to know

  • With the Dialpad app, you can make calls using WiFi, cellular data (3G, 4G, LTE, or 5G), or regular cellular minutes.

  • If both WiFi and cellular data are available, the system tries to place or receive calls with WiFi first.

  • If the internet connection is unreliable, the app may default to using cellular data to maintain high call quality. To avoid this, disable HD Calling or select before each call when you leave the office.

  • Carrier calls are given preference over mobile apps. For iOS devices, the Dialpad HD call is put on hold as soon as an incoming carrier call rings. For Android devices, the Dialpad HD call is put on hold if you answer an incoming carrier call. If you ignore it, the Dialpad HD call will continue uninterrupted.

  • When placing outbound calls via Dialpad mobile app, you may notice a different number displayed. These relay or shadow numbers are used to display your Dialpad caller ID. Each of your contacts will have a specific relay number assigned and it'll be used every time you call them.
