Phonable replaces your carrier voicemail with something smarter: callers get a text back, and you get the message. MISSED CALLS, HANDLED When you can't pick up, Phonable answers with your greeting and texts the caller right away, even if they hang up without leaving a voicemail. They know why you didn't answer and when to expect you. VOICEMAIL SUMMARIES When callers do leave a message, Phonable transcribes it and sends you a short AI summary as a notification. Tap it to open the call, play the message, or read the full transcript. MODES FOR EVERY SITUATION Set up modes like Workday, Driving, Gym or Weekend, each with its own greeting and text reply. Switch with one tap, or schedule a mode to switch on by itself for the days and hours you choose. A GREETING THAT SOUNDS JUST RIGHT Record your own greeting, or type it and pick from natural AI voices and tones. Play samples before you choose, and change your greeting any time without re-recording. EVERY CALL AT A GLANCE All missed calls and voicemails in one place, with caller names from your contacts, unread markers, and a clear note of how Phonable handled each call. KEEP YOUR OWN NUMBER Phonable works with your carrier's conditional call forwarding. Setup takes a minute: no new SIM, no new phone, no new number. Text replies are sent to mobile numbers in supported countries. By subscribing, you agree to Apple's Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Birln Wall puts a wall around your phone number. The people who matter get through free. Everyone else pays a small fee to reach you — and you keep 80% of it. Share a Secure Number instead of your real one. Your real number stays private, spam gets stopped at the door, and unknown callers who actually want to reach you pay to connect. HOW IT WORKS • Get a Secure Number to share anywhere. • Import your contacts — the people you know skip the gate, free. • Unknown callers pay a small verification fee to connect. Pay-first, so spammers and robocallers just hang up. • Set a Magic Word so trusted callers (bank, Airbnb, delivery) get through free — even the ones normal blockers break. • Tell us who you're expecting — a dealership, a doctor's office, a delivery — and they get through free when they say what it's about. • Screened calls ring inside the app, showing who's calling, so your real number never leaks. • Missed calls go to your own private voicemail. GET PAID TO BE REACHED When a stranger pays to reach you, the money goes straight to your connected bank account (you keep 80%). Set up payouts in a tap. PRIVACY FIRST Your real number stays hidden behind your Secure Number. Your contacts are used only to let people through — never sold. Stop the spam. Protect your time. Get paid for your attention.
