I had a look at the marketplace and had a chat with a few companies but had a bit difficulties to find out the app that's more suitable for Australian businesses. 

Let me know if you anyone has experience with this.

    @Nirmal  G. have you looked into Toky? I find this to work well even in New Zealand

    I think I was not clear with my question - I have been using phone and it perfectly works  🤣

    But it doesn't record and save the conversation on PipeDrive. That would save time writing notes.

    We use CallHippo - its ok but not awesome. Main bug bear is you have to search the person in call hippo rather than being able to click the button in the pipedrive app and it open callhippo. Probably an apple issue moreso than callhippo or pipedrive

    Wow @Hossein Mohsenian, if you were having a laugh, then fine but clearly this was a serious question. PipeDrive is pushing click to call capability and I would also like a recommendation to this as well. 
    I run a small business and many of the call integrations appear to apply to call centre environments.

    We use Dialpad. But it doesn't integrate with Pipedrive, unfortunately

    I use JustCall.io and they are brilliant. Their plan is reasonable. They have full integration into Pipedrive. Even if you make a call in JustCall app without Pipedrive it adds the call to the pipedrive app and records it.

    I have no problem recommending them.

    Choosing phone systems can be hard but I've recommended JustCall & CloudTalk to clients and they work well and their design is a little nicer than others. Both are also listed in the Pipedrive Marketplace, a great place to narrow down potential options.

    JustCall is a cloud based phone system for your remote sales and support teams. Integrates with HubSpot, Intercom, Pipedrive, Salesforce & other CRM/Helpdesk tools.

    We use JustCall.io and I have to agree with everything said by 'Marlon Marescia' above.  

    In addition to this they have great customer service and and chat widget to help you through any speed bumps along the way. It's back end is Twilio. Once integrated you can make calls (& SMS)  from your mobile or your computer and incoming and outgoing are noted in the Pipedrive file. 
    We fully recommend them!

     I just use the available caller function in Pipedrive, it's cheap and it records the full two way conversation.  The conversation recording appears in the individuals activity records.  

    I am using my mobile with a Bluetooth headset and not the desk app. Once set up I just hit the number on the phone app within Pipedrive and the system does the rest.  What additional features are you looking for? 

    I'm yet to pay attention to how inbound calls can be treated.

    (Not sure why it registered as No Answer in the example below but it works well.)

    Thanks, Alan. I was on Advanced plan and just signed up for Professional plan. It looks interesting. However, I have got two issues - 
    1- I couldn't make calls from PC.
    2- Couldn't figure out a way to track inbound calls (as you said).
     

    Regarding "No Answer", it looks like PipeDrive has set that as a default in "Calling outcomes". I have removed all default and set mine but haven't tested so far.

    Thanks Amber. It looks like using the existing mobile number is a bit difficult with JustCall.

    We use Aircall. Trialled JustCall and have seen Kixie before. Aircall for us was more well-rounded and polished. They've also just raised around $50 million in Series C funding, and so you'll be seeing plenty of new updates from them, just like how Pipedrive has done over the last couple of years after raising a similar amount. Aircall also has an affiliate program, which was important for us as Pipedrive partners. The integration is solid, although tags for calls don't push over through the integration (yet).

    thankyou - so Aircall has a tight integration with Pipedrive?

    Not sure why no one suggested Circleloop. It is best if you are looking for the cheapest best option. Use only if: You want to make & track calls. NO SMS functionality(only available in UK, I guess). Also no in-App Extension. It can convert the call to text and add it as an activity feed. We had it for $29 NZD approx for unlimited calls :D Was all good.

    We once used it. Stopped it as we needed more smooth integration with PD. Try it and see if it suits your need.

    been looking at this the last few days but more for the ability to integrate my own existing Aussie mobile number to make calls and send SMS from pipedrive, on the computer or from the phone.  I’d like to record calls and save SMSs and activities Automatically in relevant contacts. 
     

    do Any apps let you integrate your existing Aussie mobile number? I have only seen those who make you choose a new number
