PTCL has relaunched its Smart Link app, that allow its landline users to make and receive landline calls while on the go, i.e. from mobile phones with 3G or while on Wifi.
Essentially, with Smart Link App, your landline number will go mobile as it allows you to make and receive calls (while using your landline number) from virtually anywhere in the world.
Available for both Android and iOS, PTCL’s Smart Link app is now relaunched with new useful features, better user experience and enhanced call quality that works like a charm on 3G networks.
In addition to voice calls, you can make video calls, chat with friends, make flight inquires and more while remaining with in the app.
Any PTCL landline user can simply go ahead and download PTCL’s Smart Link app from Android Play Store or Apple’s Play store and sign-up with the app.
Once downloaded, you can sign-up while using your landline number and filling in some other info including CNIC, owner of landline number and that’s it.
Once signed-up, you can simply login to the app and start making calls even when you are not home.
Voice calls work smoothly both on WiFi and 3G networks. We tested the app to make few calls, even on 3G network, and quality was super. Calls were connecting immediately, as they do on landline number, without any delay or breakups.
App is overall a smooth affair, with no hiccups at any level.
There are plenty of option available for customizing your app and usage. For instance you can restrict incoming calls, and use app for outgoing calls only. Similarly you can restrict usage while on 3G and allow app to receive / make calls only when on WiFi.
While Smart Link App brings along multiple benefits, that we will discuss here, having your landline number in the pocket is always a bonus in itself.
Here are some scenarios where PTCL Smart Link App can be real use:
Avail PTCL landline Tariffs While on the Go
There can be situations when you would want to avail PTCL tariff instead of your mobile phone network’s tariff.
This can be valid when you want to make PTCL to PTCL calls, or PTCL to Ufone calls that come free in certain landline packages.
In other cases, while making calls to hotline numbers, you would also want to use PTCL number instead of a mobile phone network.
Receive Your Landline Number Calls Even when Away
With Smart Link App, you will never miss calls on your office landline or home landline numbers again.
So in case if you have given away your landline number, for a newspaper for instance, simply login to the app and start receiving any incoming calls.
Make Calls Even When you have Zero Balance
There could be situations when you are out of your mobile credit, you can simply use PTCL Smart Link app to make any urgent calls. Not to mention, all calls made from PTCL Smart Link will be billed in your monthly landline bill.
Make Calls with Tablets without SIMs
There are instances when we use tablets/phones without SIMs, especially for those used by kids. In such situations, when you don’t have a SIM card on home-tablet, you can use Smart Link App to equip it with making / receiving call facility.
PTCL Smart link app is entirely free, no service charges, activation charges or monthly charges at all.
With all the features, and given the app is free, every landline user that has an Android or iPhone device must go ahead and download PTCL Smart Link app.
