Toktumi Targets Small Business Users with Line2 App for the iPad

  • San Francisco-based Toktumi, Inc. — the company behind the Line2 app that provides second phone lines for iOS and Android smartphones — is now debuting a version that works with the iPad.
  • “It can make calls where AT&T’s signal is weak, like indoors. It can turn an iPod Touch into a full-blown cellphone. And it can ruin the sleep of cellphone executives everywhere,” wrote David Pogue of the original app in The New York Times.
  • The app uses new numbers or can port over existing local phone numbers. Users can make calls over Wi-Fi or 3G.
  • It is being marketed as a tool for small businesses that need a second line. It also includes a contact management organizer.
  • The $9.95 per month fee includes unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada, and unlimited texting (no contract required).
  • The manufacturer is billing it as a more professional-looking alternative to products like Skype and Google Phone because it uses traditional phone numbers. Also touting it as a “cheap” way to add a second line.
  • Where to see it: Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase, LVCC Grand Lobby
