BoxPhone PRO turns your iPhone's phone into a power tool for anyone who dials more than a plain number: PBX and switchboard users, road warriors, tinkerers and the phone-curious. Do more with your phone. PRO DIALING PROFILES Save prefix + pause + number + suffix as reusable profiles (office PBX, home VoIP, calling cards…). Add automatic pauses, a manual "wait" step for IVR menus, and per-call caller-ID suppression. Switch the active profile in a tap, override it for a single contact, or dial with no profile at all. FAST CALL, EVERYWHERE Put your favorites one tap away β€” Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, StandBy, a Control Center control, the Action Button, Siri and Shortcuts. Every shortcut dials through your PBX profile, not just a raw number. For contacts with more than one number, pick exactly which one to use. A KEYPAD THAT FEELS RIGHT A clean dialer with real DTMF key tones, favorites and full Contacts integration β€” fast, focused and easy on the eyes in a modern dark design. TONE TOOLS A professional multi-frequency tone generator (DTMF, MF R1, call-progress) and a live DTMF decoder that reads tones straight from the microphone. Perfect for testing IVRs, PBX extensions and phone systems. PHREAK MUSEUM A nostalgic, educational corner with the historic signaling tones that shaped telecom β€” 2600 Hz, blue box and red box. For history and curiosity only: these tones do nothing on modern networks. PRIVACY FIRST No ads. No tracking. No account. Your contacts and favorites stay on your device. Do more with your phone β€” with BoxPhone PRO.
