One Talk for iOS

One Talk for iOS

One TalkSM allows your office phone and mobile devices to work together with one number, so opportunity can find you—whether you’re at the office or on the go.

Welcome to One Talk for iOS.

Juggling multiple phone numbers and devices all day can get tricky. You don’t want to worry about missing a business call at your desk when you’re out of the office with a customer or at your kid’s school play.

These concerns disappear with the One Talk iOS mobile app. You get a single phone number that works with several different devices. Just share your One Talk number across your desk phone, your iPhone® and your iPad® tablet. You can customize One Talk so that an incoming call or message rings on one or all devices at the same time. So, whether you’re at the office or on the go, you’ll never have to miss an important call, text or message.

Prerequisites and usage

Users
The One Talk iOS mobile app is available on any Verizon business account in the domestic U.S. Users must be preauthorized or issued a Verizon One Talk telephone line by their business.

The One Talk number can be added to as many as five different mobile devices using the One Talk mobile app.

Operating system
The iPhone and iPad versions of the One Talk mobile app require iOS 9.0 or higher.

Networks
The One Talk mobile app can be used on smartphones and tablets (Android™ 5.0 or higher) from any U.S. carrier, but a monthly subscription to the One Talk service is required. When using the One Talk mobile app on your wireless carrier’s network, voice and video calls consume data, which will apply against any applicable allowances under your wireless carrier’s data plan. As an alternative, voice and video calls can also be made or received over Wi-Fi when connected to a Wi-Fi network with broadband internet. Please configure your device’s settings for your preferred connection.
