Fantastic Softphone Client
thecybernerd
Groundwire offers more customization than any other mobile soft phone client while delivering and exceptional experience. Works great with our Netsapiens PBX.
The best iOS softphone app available, by far!
phillipsaudiomatt
I’m so glad to have finally found a reliable iOS SIP client that delivers everything it promises. I use Groundwire with VoIP.ms; registration is consistently maintained even when the app is closed (thanks to a well-implemented push mechanism that ACTUALLY WORKS!), and I’ve yet to encounter any missed or dropped calls. Buy it, right now. It’s worth every penny.
Could you just make it look right on a ipad? This is a beautiful missing just one feature.

Could you just make it look right on a ipad? This is a beautiful missing just one feature. Please. Dont make me beg Acrobits. It is humiliating.
Audio quality issues and speakerphone echo
adamjb14
Latest update has killed my audio quality. And I’ve never been able to use the speakerphone due to a terrible echo issue (even on mute) but at least I used to be able to hear my callers.
Still no iPad adaptation!
Nai-De
Subject says it all! iPad makes a great desk phone and speaker phone, particularly with a BT headset.
iPad
Shoozly
Why no love for the iPad? I would be nice if the app would at least rotate. Long time user - waiting a long time for a real iPad app.
It TAUGHT me to love Voip! Give it a minute!
Appthinker
I given this 5 stars because it is feature rich and saves me $25 bucks each month off Ring Central. Yes. That’s right. I use alliance phone as my voip provider (GROUND WIRE isn’t a stand-alone) and Alliance hasn’t yet made their own mobile app.. but with GROUNDWIRE (which is a 1 time payment...and can be purchased on android, as well), I have all the features that I pay for! (I also tried and like Bria but it has less customization, I found, and is a per-month subscription. Also, voice is not improved in Bria that I can tell). Transfer calls on the go! ... I MUST be able to transfer! (That’s one feature of many they get right) Thank GROUNDWIRE. Ps. I also like their system vrs Bria ...for how the transfer button is RIGHT in GROUNDWIRE. I ALSO get to have a system that I know works well/quickly for preconfigured transfer numbers to unlimited pre-saved offices. My GROUNDWIRE app does this VERY well, with amazing attention to detail. If I swipe down while on “Favorites” it switches to a typical scrolling contact view, with optional pic/info banner.... I use it for address of our locations and the picture is the location state... Add more favorites by long pressing anywhere! (I just wish there was an easy way to save from here to contacts. (Did I miss it?)...maybe put into contacts first, then add in their awesome favorites panel) If I swipe up again, it goes to these cute little “bubbles”/pic and banner only. I LOVE IT I also like how easy it is to disable an account with just a tap in settings. With all the features in this, I’m not sure why it isn’t a 5 star app ., You shouldknow I bought the additional $10 better voice protocal ...and that set up from my voip provider only took so long because I didn’t understand how. I was new to voip. (Just know that your voip username is PROBABLY a 3 digit extension number, your password will be obtained from signing onto your voip provider homepage/your account... and an email from your provider will have the rest... also check out settings carefully since you will basically be able to figure out the customization on you own or with a quick google search) NOTES on voip providers: consider what you need. I work for a call center. And, currently Unreal MObile doesnt share out voip info so it can’t be used in an awesome app like GROUNDWIRE> but Alliance phones has all the features included for $43
Horrible New Interface
Abb22421
The new interface is horrible you can now only see 6 calls in the history at once compared to 14 before everything is way to spaced out and the font is way too big and now everything is capitalized. They still did not fix the tab bar either why are there lines on the top and bottom of it no other app does this.
