Tone Dial is a simple app that dials your iPhone contacts as DTMF tones through the speaker of your iPhone so that you can call using your land line. Place the speaker of your iPhone next to the microphone of the land line phone and dial contacts from your iPhone on your land line. Tone Dial includes several options to "adjust" the numbers in your contacts to work correctly over the land line. For example it can convert numbers starting with "+" into country exit codes so that international calls can be made correctly. It also has options to add or remove "1" from numbers outside your local area code.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ASUS Router at 4.5 against Tone Dial's 3.7. ASUS Router also leads on ratings volume (64K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Tone Dial's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ASUS Router holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASUS Router has 64K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tone Dial's written reviews are positive against 43% of ASUS Router's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tone Dial ships an update every 4 months, ASUS Router every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
