One number for every program
Volunteers and members save it once. Program leads join as co-hosts and run their own calls.
CommonLine for nonprofits
A standing line for the people who keep your mission going.
Board meetings, volunteer briefings, coalition calls: nonprofits run on conversations with people who don't all have the same technology. CommonLine gives your organization one permanent number that anyone can dial.
How it works
- Choose your number. Pick a local US or Canadian number. It stays yours while you're subscribed.
- Share it. People save it like any contact. There's no access code to join.
- Gather. Callers dial in, and you run the room from your keypad or the web dashboard.
What nonprofits get
Any phone works
Callers dial a normal phone number from a landline, a flip phone or a smartphone. There's nothing to download, no account to create and no access code to type.
Run it from the keypad or the dashboard
The host mutes everyone with *6, locks the room with *7 and ends the call with *9, or does the same from the web dashboard, where they can also mute or remove one caller.
Usage you can account for
Every call is itemized in your usage history, so you can see where your minutes went.
Briefings for those who missed them Growth and up
Record the volunteer briefing and download it within 7 days to share with the next shift.
See who's engaged Growth and up
See which volunteers join regularly and who hasn't called in two weeks.
Open hours
Set the times the line takes calls. Outside them, callers hear your closed message, and the line opens and closes on its own.
Reminder texts Coming soon
A text to every member before each gathering, at the time you choose.
How nonprofits use it
- Board and committee meetings A standing line, locked once the board has joined.
- Volunteer briefings Everyone hears the same update before a shift or an event.
- Coalition calls Partner organizations join from wherever they are, on any phone.
- Community listening sessions Residents without broadband can still take part.
