DialMyCalls Reviews & Product Details

I find DialMyCalls really easy to use. I also like that you can pay as you go, without needing a subscription, which works well for us because we don't have a consistent need. The pricing format is really great as we can just buy credits and use them when we need them. As a small business, being able to buy a credit bundle makes it accessible for us. It's the first product we've used, and we liked it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that when you try to set up a broadcast, there's no save and resume later or at least that I found. I can't just work on it and then get distracted to work on something else and be able to finish it the next day. I wish there was a save and resume later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that DialMyCalls is very easy to set up, and allows us to keep the account active for long periods of time. It's perfect for our use case, where we have about 53 units, or a little under 100 residents, that we need to send text messages to. I appreciate having a system where I can just load up credits and have it stay active for long periods of time, since we use it infrequently. Additionally, setting up the system was extremely easy, as I was able to get a test going within five minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t anything that I dislike currently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the web interface of DialMyCalls because the UX is clean and efficient; I did not have any confusion about where to go to meet my needs. The customer support has been excellent; I had a few questions and the agents were able to answer all of them in a timely manner via live chat. The price is also a major plus for me, especially the Pay as You Go feature, which is excellent and suits my business needs perfectly. No other competitor has this feature. Additionally, the initial setup process was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can think about improving is the WYSIWYG (HTML editor) for text input. There should be options for including non-breaking characters and page break characters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the contacts and groups you can organize in Dial My Calls. The reporting feature is helpful as well. I also find it useful that you can add users with different permission levels. We currently use this service quarterly, but we plan to start using it monthly. It’s very straightforward for our staff, who enjoy being able to save templates and set up recurring messages.

I would appreciate having access to more reports. We've noticed an issue where some texts are not delivered to recipients, and often there isn't a clear explanation for why this happens. While some reports provide helpful information, others make it difficult to determine the reason for non-delivery. Additionally, it would be much more convenient if we could preview reports directly on the screen instead of having to generate and download them each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to set up and learn. Was able to use it in a crisis where my other robocall provider had locked me out of an account over the weekend and was out of the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Emails must be sent with a call or text, and they don't have a customizable title. Due to this, most people thought it was spam and didn't read it. I need to be able to put my organization's name on it at least. When it says "You've got a message," it looks like spam. When it says "Message from Lakeview Baptist Church," it looks more official.I think this is an easy and crucial improvement to the service.

It would also be really nice to just send emails as well. It's a desirable feature. I would love it if it's free, but if it was like 1c each to stop spam, that would be fine too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can pre-save the broadcasts, like the recording and the text, so you don't have to repeat the recordings every time. It lets us just record the message once and then schedule a broadcast using these pre-recorded messages. Having the contact list already pre-saved makes it super easy to send out a broadcast within a couple of clicks. Also, the initial setup of DialMyCalls was very easy.

I haven't looked into the API functionality quite yet, but I want to explore that functionality to see if it exists. And if it does, if we're able to integrate with the other platforms that we use. It could be easier to get your number approved for text messaging, but I understand that that's probably like a legal requirement that you go through that process.

I really like how DialMyCalls is very user-friendly. It's pretty self-explanatory, so we don't have to train anyone to use it. This makes it really easy to use, and I appreciate that it saves prior messages, which allows us to resend them without having to retype everything. Plus, it helps us manage our messages efficiently by letting us review what's been sent out, which prevents us from overwhelming families with too many texts.

I really wish that there wasn't a character limit in the text messages. Sometimes some of our messages are pretty long and have a lot of information in them. Breaking them up and having to send multiple text messages to our families or back-to-back messages just to get the gist of our message is really difficult sometimes. So we really wish we could have a longer space to text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Feature rich. Dependable. Easy to use.

Imported existing contacts made getting started fast and simple.

The ability to export contacts as a spreadsheet format makes interactions with other systems easy.

Online chat is readily available and chat assistants are knowledgeable people - AI robots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No downside.

Getting vanity numbers was challenging but this seems to be an industry issue, not a DMC issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that DialMyCalls is easy to use and allows me to keep distribution lists and templated messages, making it convenient to send notifications quickly, especially in stressful situations. The ability to inform users in real time via text, email, and voice message is invaluable for ensuring everyone's safety during a crisis. I also appreciate the multiple user feature with pricing based on credits, which suits our need for emergency preparedness without ongoing costs. The intuitive interface flows well, facilitating smooth navigation from one section to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really wanted the email message to look like it was coming from our domain. This wasn't possible at our price point unfortunately. It's a little complicated in the back end but that is due to government regulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciated that DialMyCalls made it so that I could automate a message out without having to manually do it individually. I also appreciate that you could upload spreadsheets and not have to manually put in numbers one by one. Automating the process made it a lot easier for me. Another aspect I liked was that you could upload a different audio message for voicemails, instead of just if they answered the call. I thought that was pretty cool.

There are several issues I faced with DialMyCalls. First, the pricing was unclear. I thought one credit was needed for unlimited time, but it actually took three credits to send a voicemail, costing more than I budgeted. Second, the upload feature for spreadsheets wasn't as easy as expected. I had to spend a lot of time reformatting my spreadsheets since it wouldn't recognize multiple phone number columns. Third, the audio quality diminished once the message was uploaded, which was disappointing for distributing musical content. Also, the platform behaved inconsistently during test calls, sometimes not leaving voicemails or calling at all, which caused anxiety about the actual broadcast. While their customer support was helpful and provided extra credits, the issues with trusting the delivery reports were frustrating. Plus, I found the lack of international capabilities limiting.
