Jeffrey H.

“In the old days we would have to call everyone personally, one at a time. there is still a place for that but to get out general reminders and announcements, it would take hours. Now we do it in a couple minutes.”

John P.

“We are a not for profit organization and use the software to communicate transportation issues to the more than 900 individuals that we serve. The product allows me to get the word out for an emergency weather closing or delay in a very efficient manner. The best price product on the market.”

Kristin S.

“I am loving Dialmycalls for sending out reminder texts to meeting attendees! I can schedule them ahead of time and know they will be delivered to the recipient.”

Lee B.

“I have used several different programs at different cost and different companies. I have found that this one is by far the better fit for the needs we have for it. I can see where it can keep the staff and partners informed with a simple text blast as well as able to be setup as a good marketing tool for clients without spamming them either.”

Kris E.

“This is a quick and easy way to send robo-calls to your church members. Update them on severe weather, the weekly activities, or special events. Can be used on a desktop or via smartphone app. Offers both text, voice and voicemail options. You can record your own voice or use the robo-voice features.”

Lori B.

“Cost effective, creative way to boost sales. I used this service as a way to communicate with a nonprofit’s constituents regarding a fundraising and awareness-building event. There was an immediate return on investment realized!”
