We do have the ability to call phone numbers with extensions and it works with a large majority of phone systems. However, if the system is overly complex, our system may not work with it.

If you have to press another number to actually dial an extension, our system will not work on that number.

Please make sure that your phone doesn't have any kind of anonymous call block, call zapper, or any kind of system to block certain types of callers. This is usually the culprit if you don't receive a call from us. Also, if you have tried the sample calls too many times in one day, you could be restricted from trying again. If you feel that there is an error on our end, please contact support and they will be able to assist you.

We offer 3 ways you can create greetings to be used for your calls:

Record It Over Your Phone:
Put in a phone number and our automated system will call you and let you record your message right over the phone! You can preview and re-record until you're satisfied with your greeting. This is by far our most popular method.

Upload An MP3 or WAV File:
This method is usually the choice of larger companies or people that have professionally recorded messages. Using the web interface, you can upload any MP3 or WAV audio file and use it for the message to be played to your call recipients.

Use Our Text-to-Speech Tool:
Our Text-to-Speech engine is a voice synthesis tool which allows you to type out a message and it will convert it to a digitized male or female voice. This is a great solution when you do not have time to record a message but need to send a call out quickly.

Yes! Using our call scheduling system you can set your calls to go out at the day and time of your choice. This is a great feature and time saver allowing you to schedule a series of group calls in advance. It's also a very popular option used by people who use DialMyCalls for group meeting and event reminders.

We have a voice mail & answering machine detection system in place that will wait and leave your message on their answering system. This way you know, even if the person wasn't able to get to their phone for your call, they will still get to hear your message when he/she checks their voice mail.

Yes, we have 3 import tools available that let you import phone numbers & contact information from an Excel file (XLS or XLSX), Database (CSV), or by simply copying and pasting a large block of phone numbers into the system. For more detailed information on how to import data please go to the the 'My Contacts' page once logged into your control panel. If you need assistance, please contact our support staff and they'll be happy to help you.

No, as long as you have purchased sufficient credits to cover the calls you wish to place, there is no limit. Please be aware that if we experience extremely high call volumes your calls may not go out at EXACTLY the same time and blocks of calls may be staggered out over a minute or two to limit any line congestion.

If a number on your list is called and we receive a busy signal or if the phone keeps ringing with no answer we will attempt to call it back up to two additional times -- the number of retries is based off the size of call, carrier information, and average success rate. If it still ends up as unable to connect, you will see so in the call results and your credits will be refunded for those calls.

Our call reports are great for seeing exactly what happened with each one of your calls. You'll get a breakdown of each call and whether or not it was connected and if the message played or not. It shows connection time and an array of other details that may be useful.

When creating a recording to be broadcast through DialMyCalls we recommend that the message is at least 15 seconds in length to ensure an optimal delivery to all call recipients.
