Getting started

What you get when you sign up

Did someone else set up your company's phone system and add you to it? You don't need to sign up. Start at You've been given a Slingshot line.

When you start a free trial you immediately get:

• A business phone number, assigned automatically and ready to use
• A phone menu that answers callers and routes them to you
• Voicemail, with a transcript emailed to you
• The app, called Cloud Softphone, for iPhone and Android. Setup installs it for you.

There's no hardware to buy and no card required to start.

Your trial number is temporary. It's there so you can use the product right away. If you plan to bring your existing business number over, that transfer happens after you activate, and your Slingshot number is replaced then. See Bringing your existing number to Slingshot.
