Dial-Out basics

• What is dial-out?


Dial-out allows you to place outgoing calls from your virtual number to another phone number. For dial-outs, depending on your service, you may need minutes or usage-packs.

What happens if the number I'm calling is busy or there's no answer?

If the number you're calling is busy or there's no answer, you will hear our system message saying, "the number you are trying to call is busy" or "the number you are trying to call does not answer." In both cases, you will be taken to the menu where you can:

        - Press 1 to send a message only.
        - Press 2 to send a message and record an answer.
            (With this option, the answering party can record
            a message for you after your recorded message
            finishes playing.)

After choosing one of the two options, you can:

            (Enter a number of times you want our system to attempt)
       
       "Please enter a two-digit retrial interval in minutes."
            (For example, enter 05 for 5 times)
