CommonLine for support groups

A meeting line that respects anonymity.

Recovery meetings, grief groups and peer support work best when it's easy to show up. With CommonLine, members dial a phone number. There's no camera, no app and no account, and no one has to give a name to join.

How it works

  1. Choose your number. Pick a local US or Canadian number. It stays yours while you're subscribed.
  2. Share it. People save it like any contact. There's no access code to join.
  3. Gather. Callers dial in, and you run the room from your keypad or the web dashboard.

What support groups get

No names, no camera

Callers join with a phone call and don't create accounts. In the dashboard, hosts see only the last four digits of a caller's number, unless they choose to label a caller.

Nothing is recorded unless a host records

We don't listen to or store call audio unless a host starts a recording, and when they do, everyone hears that the call is being recorded.

The chair keeps the meeting

Mute everyone with *6, lock the room with *7 once the meeting starts, and let members raise a hand with *2 to share.

Rotating service positions

Add the chair and secretary as co-hosts, and their phones get host controls when they call in.

Open only at meeting times

The line takes calls only during your meeting times, and plays your message the rest of the time.

No minutes lost to a forgotten phone

If someone is left alone on the line for 20 minutes, they're asked to press pound to stay. Otherwise the call ends, so a phone left off the hook doesn't use up your minutes.

Recordings for workshops Growth and up

When a speaker meeting or workshop should be shared, record it and download it within 7 days.

Reminder texts Coming soon

A text to every member before each gathering, at the time you choose.

How support groups use it

The plan that usually fits

Growth, $99 a month

Growth fits most groups: 3,500 participant-minutes a month and 5 co-hosts for rotating service positions. A small group can start on Starter.

For example, a weekly hour-long meeting with 12 members uses about 3,118 participant-minutes a month, within the 3,500 that Growth includes.

Questions

Do members have to give their name?

No. Members join with a phone call. Hosts see only the last four digits of a caller's number unless they choose to label a caller.

Can someone record the meeting?

Only a host can start a recording, from the Growth plan, and everyone on the call hears that it's being recorded.

Can we keep people from joining late?

Yes. The host presses *7 to lock the room once the meeting has started.

Do you sell callers' information?

No. We don't sell personal information. Our privacy policy has the details.
