What happens if I am on a personal call and a Spoke Phone call comes in?
On some phones, we are able to detect if you are on a personal call. If your device allows this, Spoke Phone will not offer you any business calls until your personal call is over. Unfortunately Spoke Phone's ability to control this differs by phone, manufacturer, and provider.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of Apple and Android, it is not always
possible for us to reliably detect if you are on a personal phone call.
Depending on what type of phone you use, Spoke HD calls may also appear in your normal mobile phone call history. This is determined by the phone manufacturer, and how they choose to handle VoIP calls.

Why can't I call emergency services on Spoke Phone?
Spoke Phone cannot be used to make emergency calls for the reason that there is no physical address tied to the numbers.
For these instances, we recommend calling using your personal numbers so emergency services are then able to locate you in the event you are unable to give an address.
