Registering time by phone from a mobile

How to clock in and out using a mobile phone call.

Employees can register their working time by calling a dedicated number from their mobile phone. This works the same way as landline registration but uses the mobile phone number stored in the employee's profile.

How to clock in from a mobile phone

  1. Call the Begin registration phone number from your mobile

  2. Enter your PIN code when prompted

  3. The system confirms the registration

When to use phone vs mobile app

The Begin mobile app is usually the better option for smartphone users because it provides a full interface, GPS verification, and additional features. Phone call registration is best used when:

  • The employee does not have a smartphone

  • The employee does not have internet access at the work site

  • The company prefers phone-based registration for simplicity

Important notes

  • The mobile phone number in the employee's Begin profile must match the number they are calling from

  • If the employee changes their phone number, the admin must update it in the employee profile — this regenerates the IVR records and PINs

  • Phone registrations appear identically in the timesheet regardless of whether the call came from a landline or mobile
