How it works

Three steps. No technician.

If you can make a phone call, you can run a hotline.

Pick your number

Choose a local number your community will remember. It’s included in every plan.

Build your menu

“Press 1 for the simcha, press 2 for zmanim” — add options and sub-menus in a few clicks.

Record by phone

Call your own line, enter your PIN, and speak. Your message is live the moment you hang up.

Everything included

A full phone system, without the phone system.

No PBX, no hardware, no IT person. Just a number and a phone.

☎

Record over the phone

Dial your line, punch in a PIN, and record. Update it from anywhere, day or night.

☰

Easy menus

Up to 9 options per menu, plus sub-menus, so everything has its own place.

🌐

Any language

Record or upload your own audio in Yiddish, Hebrew, English, or anything else.

📊

See who called

A call log and stats show how many people called and which options they pressed.

📧

Voicemail

Callers can leave a message, and you get an email alert with the recording.

🔒

PINs for your team

Give each admin their own PIN and choose which options they’re allowed to change.

📣

Call blasts

Send a short recorded call to everyone in your group at once — perfect for levayos, simchas and urgent updates.

📅

Scheduled messages

Set your Shabbos or Yom Tov message ahead of time and it switches on by itself.

👤

Reach a live person

Callers can press 0 to be connected to your cell phone when they need a real answer.

🎧

Live conference calls PRO

Run a live shiur, meeting or kumzitz by phone. Callers dial your number and join the call live — schedule it ahead of time and let everyone know when to call in. Conference minutes are paid from your top-up balance.

💝
