# Using Connect on Mobile
As a field technician, you'll be constantly on the move—traveling from one job site to another, coordinating with customers, and staying in touch with team members. In such a fast-paced environment, having a reliable and easy-to-use communication tool is essential.
That's why Zuper Phone on mobile enables you (technicians) to seamlessly make and receive calls directly from the Zuper mobile app. Whether they need to confirm a service appointment with a customer or get quick clarification from a fellow technician, Zuper Phone ensures they stay connected and efficient on the go.
You can choose between two calling options:
1. **Zuper Phone**: Use the in-app phone to make VoIP calls over data or Wi-Fi. Recommended for **tracking, recording, and logging** call history within the app.
2. **Native Phone**: Use the device’s default phone for traditional cellular calls. Calls placed via this option will not be logged in Zuper Phone’s call history.
