Web-to-mobile calling
If your workday consists of using Pipedrive on a computer but making phone calls to customers from a mobile device, an efficient way to quickly start phone calls is extremely important. The Web to mobile calling allows you to start a call on your mobile device directly from your Pipedrive web app, with just a few clicks.
The calls you make will be charged on your usual phone bill.
