Subscribe and select your dedicated BuzzerBee local phone number in the app 2. Tell your building manager to connect this new phone number for your unit's buzzer 3. Set the digit that BuzzerBee needs to press in order unlock the door (usually 6 or 9) 4. That's it! Start managing buzzer access using the app. No more missed deliveries or waiting guests!

Verdict

The call

LinkPower Companion's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (3.3 vs 3.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
