Ziply™ Fiber Business Communicator for iOS Ziply™ Fiber Business Communicator for iOS is a voice over IP (VoIP) softphone that makes it easy to talk, chat, meet and share with contacts and colleagues. Communicate virtually anywhere with any device, including phones, tablets and desktop PCs. The Business Communicator app, included with Ziply Fiber Hosted Voice, requires an administrator generated account for login. Without an account established by your company or service provider, you won’t be able to use the softphone client. • Make high-quality voice calls between team members and set up your VoIP service to call mobile and landlines. • Chat with team members by sending a quick message instead of an email. Start a chat room to get everyone on the same page quickly or grab a colleague's attention with @ mentions. • Meet face-to-face when miles apart with HD video calling. • Share files, photos, videos and more, and collaborate more efficiently without swapping between apps. • Bring conversations to life with emoticons for chat and gif sharing with hyperlink previews.
