Short answer: yes. You can share one M1 number and inbox with your team using Shared Line.

If you need several numbers under one account, use Multiple Lines.

1. Two ways teams use M1

  • Shared Line plan: one phone number, one account holder, plus invited members who all share the same inbox. Everyone can answer calls and reply to messages from that single number.

  • Multiple Lines plan: several phone numbers under one account holder. No invited members (yet). The account holder manages and uses all numbers.

💡 Choosing a plan

  • Want your whole team on one shared number with shared visibility and replies? Pick Shared Line.

  • Need separate numbers (for people, departments, or use cases) but managed by one owner? Pick Multiple Lines.


2. How to upgrade to the Shared Line plan

Switching from the Single Line plan to the Shared Line plan is simple:

  • Open your M1 app

  • Go to the Settings tab

  • Tap Invite Members

  • Choose the Shared Line plan (available Monthly or Yearly)

📲 If you don't see "Invite Members" make sure your app is up to date.

ℹ️ When you switch from Single Line to Shared Line, Apple will charge you the full price for the new subscription. Don't worry - they'll automatically refund the unused portion of your Single Line subscription.

You won't have two active subscriptions at once, and you won't pay twice.

The Shared Line plan includes all the features from the Single Line plan, plus shared access.

3. How to invite your team to your inbox

After upgrading to the Shared Line plan, invite your collaborators:

  • In Settings, tap Invite Members to share your 6-digit invite code via text, email, or your preferred method

  • Your teammates download the M1 app from the link provided

  • From the Home screen, they tap Join a Team, enter the code, and follow the steps to connect

✅ Once joined, they'll have full access to your shared inbox.

ℹ️ You can invite unlimited members to your inbox

⚠️ If a team member switches devices, the inbox owner must re-invite them to reconnect.


4. What can your teammates see

Your teammates will see everything that's visible in your M1 inbox - including call summaries, voicemails, voice memos, and text conversations.

As soon as they join your inbox, they'll have access to your entire M1 history, not just messages or calls received after they joined.

Only your saved contact list remains private. Even if you've allowed M1 to access your iPhone contacts, your teammates won't be able to see them. However, they will see phone numbers of people you've called or messaged through M1, to help with collaboration - without exposing your full contact list.

In short: everything visible in your M1 inbox is also visible to your team - except for your contact list.

⚠️ There's currently no way to hide specific messages or calls from your team

ℹ️ If you forward an external number to M1 (like your business number), only calls are redirected and logged in M1. Texts sent or received on that number - outside of M1 - will not appear in your inbox or be visible to your team.
