How do you buzz someone into your apartment with your cell phone?

Summary:

Apartment buzzers work by allowing visitors to call tenants through an intercom system installed at the building’s entryway. The tenant receives the call on a speaker inside their apartment unit. To open an intercom door with your phone, you can answer the call and enter the code to open the door. Each apartment unit has a unique buzz code for security purposes. Making an intercom call typically involves pressing a specific number on the dial pad and entering the recipient’s number or extension. Phone intercoms work by dialing programmed numbers and moving on to the next if there’s no answer. Enterphone is a line of telephone entry systems for condominiums and apartment buildings. It is possible to use a compatible smartphone as an intercom with the right app and a network connection. The sound from intercom conversations may travel in multiple directions depending on the building’s construction. There is no universal code to open apartment gates as each gate has its own password set by the installer. Intercom services like Intercom typically require a paid subscription and do not offer free trials or plans.
