How to install NumberLink Apps

Here's how to install the NumberLink apps on all your devices.

Sunbeam phone

• No installation is needed, all compatible Sunbeam phones come with NumberLink capabilities built into the regular contacts, dialer and messaging apps. This includes Pro and Horizon models with texting capabilities.

Android Host device

The device with your shared number, calls and messages from the clients can use its number. 

1. Open the Play Store on the device and install the following apps: NumberLink Phone, NumberLink Messaging, and NumberLink Host.
2. Open the NumberLink Phone and Messaging apps and grant the requested permissions.
3. Open the NumberLink Host app and grant the requested permissions. 
4. Enable "Display over other apps" for the NumberLink Host app. The location of this setting may vary depending on the device but is usually under Settings > App Settings > Special app access > Display over other apps. This setting allows NumberLink to place calls and messages when the app is in the background.
5. Turn off battery optimization for the NumberLink Host app. This setting is on the app info page, usually under Settings > App Settings > All apps > NumberLink Host > App battery usage > set this to "Unrestricted" or "Not optimized". This is required for reliable performance and real time syncing.
