# Jul 18, 2026: The ASC mobile app

The Answering Service Care mobile app is now available for iOS and Android. Run your answering service from your phone: place calls from your business number, hold and release your calls, follow every message, and track usage in real time.

### What you can do

* **Call from your business number** on any device, straight from the in-app dialer, so your personal number stays private.
* **Hold your calls** when you step away and release them when you are ready. While your calls are held, our live agents take your messages.
* **See your business at a glance** from a home dashboard, with recent activity, messages, contacts, voicemails, billing, and usage one tap away.
* **Follow two-way SMS** as live agents reply to every text 24/7, and step in yourself whenever you want.
* **Track your numbers** with a usage report covering calls, SMS, chat, and to-dos.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://answeringservicecare.com/docs/release-notes/readme/jul-18-2026-asc-mobile-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
