Your business phone.
Everywhere you are.
Welcome to 9dash9. This guide walks you through downloading, logging in, and getting the most out of your mobile and desktop communication apps.
A full business phone, on every screen.
Your 9dash9 apps work just like a desktop phone — but they go wherever you do. Make and receive calls, send messages, manage voicemail, host video meetings, and keep work and personal life cleanly separated.
9dash9 takes a modular approach. The features you need are built in. The ones you don't can stay out of your way.
Download your apps
Pick your platform. All four are included with your 9dash9 plan — install on as many devices as you need.
Logging in for the first time
Two pieces of information, one minute, and you're connected.
Launch the app
Open your 9dash9 app on your device. The first screen prompts you for an Access Code.
Enter your Access Code
Your Access Code is included in your 9dash9 welcome email. You only need to enter it once — the app remembers it from then on.
Sign in with your credentials
After tapping Connect, the login screen will appear. Enter the username and password 9dash9 provided when your account was activated. Once you're signed in, you'll land on the Home Screen.
Email support@9dash9.com and we'll resend them within minutes.
Find your way around
The Home Screen has three main areas. Once you know them, the rest of the app falls into place.

Five shortcuts to the main modules — switch between Calls, Contacts, Keypad, Chat, and More with a single tap.
Active Modules
Quick-access cards for modules with new activity — voicemails, team chats, and anything else that needs your attention.
Recent Calls
Your full call activity — incoming, outgoing, missed. Tap a row to call back, or tap the i icon to see the contact card with all available actions: dial any number, start a Team Chat, or save to favorites.

Learn moreContacts
The Contacts module merges your personal phone contacts with the 9dash9 account directory — every coworker, client, and saved number in one searchable list.
- Search by name, number, or extension
- Tap any contact to view their full card with every number on file
- Mark contacts as favorites for one-tap access
- Start a call, send a message, or open a Team Chat directly from the contact card
Keypad
A traditional dialer for when you need to enter a number directly — extensions, conference codes, IVR menus, or any external line.
- Dial any phone number or extension
- Long-press the 0 key for the + when dialing international
- Recently dialed numbers appear above the keypad for quick redial
- Switch between your business and personal caller ID before placing the call
Voicemails
Your voicemail inbox lives inside the app — no separate dial-in required. Visual voicemail with automatic transcription means you can read messages anywhere.
- Play messages in any order — no listening through old voicemails to get to new ones
- Read message transcriptions (great for meetings or noisy environments)
- Call back, save, share, or delete with one tap
- New voicemails show as badges on the app icon
Team Chat
Instant messaging built into your phone system. Send a quick "are you free?" before calling, or share files without a separate app.
- One-on-one and group conversations
- Share files, images, and PDFs inline
- End-to-end encrypted — your messages stay private
- Conversations sync across mobile and desktop in real time
Recordings
Call recording — for compliance, training, or your own reference — available on any call where the feature is enabled for your account.
- Start and stop recordings mid-call with a tap
- Review past recordings inside the app
- Download recordings as audio files
- Set up auto-record rules from your 9dash9 admin portal
Recording availability depends on your plan and applicable local recording-consent laws. Check with your administrator before recording calls.
Faxes
Send and receive faxes as PDFs without ever touching a fax machine. Required by your accountant, insurance company, or legal counsel? Now it's just another notification on your phone.
- Send a PDF as a fax to any number
- Receive faxes as PDFs in your fax inbox
- Forward, save, or share received faxes
- Fax sending and receiving requires the Fax add-on for your account
More
The "More" menu houses everything that isn't a daily-driver feature — account settings, presence, notifications, integrations, and customization.
- Profile & Presence — set your status (available, busy, do-not-disturb)
- Call Forwarding — route calls to another number when you're unavailable
- Notification Settings — fine-tune when and how the app alerts you
- App Preferences — themes, default screens, sound settings
- Help & Support — open a ticket or chat with 9dash9 support without leaving the app
