Line 2 Helps to Enhance Mobile Communications
By Susan J. Campbell, TMCnet Contributing Editor
The consumer and business sectors are rapidly moving toward mobile communications to support the virtual workforce and the increased mobility of all individuals. Businesses of all sizes are adopting mobile devices and gadgets that enable their employees to be more productive and effective in the field, while also seeking mobile applications that support these efforts.
A recent India Info Line piece highlighted that not only are companies adopting mobile communications, the world is now available through the smartphone. This “pocketsize wonder” has become something people cannot live without, morphing from its first existence as a device for making calls to a platform to drive absolute connectivity.
Advancements in technology have certainly contributed to the increase in mobile communications. Refined applications are available, WiFi (News 
- Alert) connections ensure access to the network and the Web, and secure applications ensure a direct connection to eCommerce transactions. Consumers and employees the world over can access everything they need through a handheld device.
Smartphone apps are consistently on the rise as developers aim to create the killer app that will dominate the market. While no one app has yet to spark the interest of every user in every environment, there are a few that are making their mark in a big way. Mobile communications will certainly benefit from such advancements as users adopt the best the market has to offer.
Line 2 is one award-winning application that is designed to allow the user to add a second line to their regular mobile number. Developed by Toktumi (News - Alert), this app is built to be user-friendly and allow you to set granular controls on your work and personal numbers. The app also provides the necessary tools to switch between regular voice, WiFi and 3G connections without dropping the call. A conference call feature allows you to launch or participate in a conference call while on the go.
This innovative app helps to extend the possibility of your mobile communications by eliminating additional devices while you aim to stay connected. Businesses are increasingly adopting BYOD (bring your own device) programs that allow employees to bring their own devices to connect to the network and enable mobile communications while they are on the go. Line 2 can extend the value of the device and streamline the communications strategy for each employee.
As mobile communications continues to proliferate throughout the marketplace, companies and consumers alike will continue to demand more from their smartphones and supported apps. Line 2 has developed a powerful solution that is sure to appeal across the sectors.
