Studies have shown that Millennials largely prefer to communicate and collaborate through the [apps and devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/business-management) that they use on a daily basis, and Line2, the [business communicatons company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/business-communication) out of San Francisco, has responded. The company has recently released a native calling experience for employees' second numbers that's fully integrated with iOS 10, meaning that Millennials can make work calls directly through their personal phones.

Increasingly, the [home phone has become a relic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-home-phone) of the past, with many Millennials vaguely remembering those handsets from their childhood. As such, the dedicated office phone increasingly feels archaic — Millennials tend to be far more comfortable using their mobile phones thanks to a familiar interface.

Line2's new functionality means that Millennial employees can use their personal cell phones as work phones, increasing the likelihood of effective communication and making the work experience easier.
