Step 6: Android and iOS Activation (End User) Instructions

Activating MultiLine - iOS/Android

Everything an end user needs to get started, will be sent to them via a MultiLine invitation email. They can use it to start the activation process. We recommend using the QR code for the easiest activation method.

 

Get your invitation

 

The invitation email will be sent to the end users email address. The invitation will contain a Download and Activate button, a QR code, and credentials for activating MultiLine manually. If you ever need to delete and reinstall the mobile app, you'll need this Password from the invitation to activate it. If you lose your invitation, request a new one from your IT administrator.

You have multiple options for activating MultiLine on your mobile device:

  • If you are opening your email on your phone, tap the Download and Activate button.
    • It will check if the MultiLine app is installed on your phone and begin installation if not.
    • The activation process will begin immediately.
  • If you are opening your email on a desktop PC, take out your phone camera and tap the QR code.
    • It will check if the MultiLine app is installed on your phone and begin installation if not.
    • The activation process will begin immediately. If you've already downloaded MultiLine, you can also scan the QR code using MultiLine by opening the app and granting the Camera permission.
  • If necessary, you can also activate manually by entering the details from your invitation. Click the Activate Manually link from the invitation or the first screen.
    • Read about the permissions required for the app, then tap Proceed. MultiLine does not upload, store, transmit, or sell your contacts information.
    • Confirm in the next prompts (sent from your phone) that you will allow the permissions.
      • Some users will be prompted to have a one-time PIN will be sent to your mobile device. If so, enter the number of your personal SIM (your non-MultiLine number).
      • Most of the time, this PIN will be auto detected. Tap Activate to continue. In the rare case that the PIN is not detected, try RESEND PIN or GET PIN VIA CALL or GET PIN VIA EMAIL, if the options are available.
    • Your MultiLine number will display. Tap Okay, got it to continue.
