For some employees or business owners, carrying two or three cell phones is the nature of the job. Talktumi has created the Line 2 App for the iPhone to streamline two phones into one. If you’re in a location with WiFi, the Line 2 App can turn your iPod Touch into a VoIP phone. Google Voice and Skype have tried to be iPhone Apps, but Line2 is the app that might just succeed. Line2 will charge only $15 a month for this service, so small cash loans won’t be needed to double your phone’s functionality. Keeping the momentum can be the test for Line2. After showing off at the CTIA conference, the Line2 App from Talktumi shot to No. 1 in the iPhone app store. Talktumi was forced to remove their app offline when they fight off a DNS attack.
Line2 App utilizes two data networks
WiFi and 3G networks can carry cell phone calls, and the Line2 App allows users to access this functionality. If you travel between 3G and wireless networks, Line2 will seamlessly switch between the two.
The cell phone network minutes that could be very expensive won’t be used if you’re using the dual-mode functionality. The Line2 system also makes international long-distance calls much less expensively. At $15 a month and $1 for the Line2 App, it’s cell phone service that doesn’t require payday lending to pay the bills.
Line2 makes more than just calls
Line2 provides more than just a service that your calls through the internet. Instead, the application creates a virtual second phone on your handset. You can set up a second cell phone number with Line2, routing a home and business number to the exact same phone. If you’re a business owner trying to keep things in order, Line2 can also set up a virtual phone tree. Best of all, Line2 offers visual voice mail, conference calling and a choice of how to make incoming calls. Line2 does something very simple – gives you a second iPhone on your iPhone.
DNS Attacks on Line2
The iPhone app store saw Line2 shoot to No. 1 on March 25. When Line2 got approved by the iPhone app store, lots of were surprised – Apple had shot down Google voice for having the potential to compete with the iPhone “core business”.
Users who spent the morning of March 26 looking for the Line2 app were sorely disappointed. At 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, Talktumi was forced to take Line2 offline because of a coordinated DNS Denial of Service attack. The official Talktumi Twitter account is offering up-to-the-minute updates on the status of Line2.
