Placing outbound calls using the NumberGarage mobile application

In this article:

There are two different ways to place outbound calls using the NumberGarage Mobile Application. In this article, we'll review both methods so you can successfully call your contacts. If you don't have the NumberGarage mobile application, click here to download it.

Callback Mode

In Callback Mode, you can place your calls from the NumberGarage mobile application, enter both the number you are dialing, and the number of the device (mobile or landline) you wish to call from. You will immediately receive a call on that device from NumberBarn. When you answer that call, you will then be connected to the number you wish to dial.

Callback Mode is ideal for those times when you would rather place calls through a preexisting phone connection rather than relying on WiFi or a cellular data connection. To enable Callback Mode do the following:

• Open the NumberGarage app
• Click the dialer icon  at the bottom of the screen
• Click the little gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen
• Set the Dialer Mode to Callback.
• Enter a telephone number you want to call from. This could be a landline or cell phone number.
• If you have multiple telephone numbers, you can click near the bottom of the screen to select the telephone number you want to call from.
• Click Done and make some calls!

VOIP Mode

In VOIP Mode, you are instead dependent on an internet connection to place an outbound call. This could include the cellular data connection on your mobile phone or the wireless internet you are connected to at home, office, local coffee shop, etc.

When you place calls in VOIP mode, you will be immediately connected with the number you are attempting to dial. The experience is identical to calling from a mobile or landline device in this regard. To enable VOIP Mode do the following:

• Open the NumberGarage app
• Click the dialer icon at the bottom of the screen
• Click the little gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen
• Set the Dialer Mode to VOIP.
• Click Done and make some calls!
• If you have multiple telephone numbers, you can click near the bottom of the screen to select the telephone number you want to call from before placing that call.

Are you looking to place outbound calls through NumberGarage but using your computer? Check out these two articles:

• Outbound calls using the call back method
• Outbound calls using your computer/VoIP Method

Note: When placing outbound international calls, simply dial the number you wish to call, no need for "+" to be dialed first when using the NumberGarage Mobile Application.

Enabling Speakerphone

After you've placed a call, the call controls should look very similar to the native calling app on your mobile phone. If you want to switch the speakerphone mode in the app, click the button.
