Companies use automated phone systems to streamline their communications, reduce costs, and improve customer service. Automated phone systems can handle a large volume of calls efficiently and provide callers with self-service options.
An automated voice messaging system is a system that uses pre-recorded voice messages to communicate with callers. These systems can be used for a variety of purposes, such as marketing, customer service, and emergency notifications.
Automated phone calls work by using a computerized system to make calls to a list of phone numbers. When the call is answered, a pre-recorded message is played.
The main benefit of automated phone systems is that they can handle a large volume of calls efficiently and provide callers with self-service options. This can reduce costs and improve customer service.
Yes, but ONLY after text message are sent to a group of phone numbers do we know for sure if a phone number is a cell phone that can receive a text message. The system keeps track of what phone numbers are cell phones and what numbers are landlines. After sending text messages you will notice each group you will have two numbers separated by a "/" with total numbers / cell phones. The count on the left will be used going forward for all phone calls and the count on the right will only be used for sending text messages. We manage this for you automatically.
The first numbers for each category, Call and Txt Balance is units available if you wanted to schedule more calls or text. This number can and will be lower than the number after the "/" because you might 1000 units but you might have 500 phone calls scheduled to go out sometime in the future.
The message units can be used for ether calls or text and you might have 250 text scheduled and 500 calls and this will clearly show you that you have ether 375 calls left OR 750 text messages that you may schedule.
No need for a calculator, the display would look like this:
Txt Balance: 750 / 1000
Call Balance: 375 / 1000
After all the calls and text are completed you would see:
Txt Balance: 750 / 750
Call Balance: 375 / 375
Until you scheduled additional messages, then you will see different amounts for each.

You may purchase message units that can be used for either one completed phone call to a live answer/voicemail or two text messages up to 154 chars in length. Each 154 chars = 1/2 a message unit.
*Example: 100 phone numbers and 70 people answered live and 20 people's calls went to voice mail would equal a subtraction of your call balance of 90 message units for the 100 phone numbers dialled.
The same 100 message units can be used for 200, 154 char text messages or 100 308 char text messages. Text messages are subtracted off your message unit balance for completed and incomplete delivery, so try to make sure that you use cell phone numbers. You may filter your phone list for 1/4 message unit / contact checks when you upload a list in the portal.
Phone calls may be sent out rather quickly up to ~120,000 phone calls / hour with text messages delivered at about ~20,000 text / hour. SCHEDULING START AND STOP TIMES: For phone calls if you set a start and stop time the calls will be evenly dispersed between the start time and stop time so that your call center will not be overrun with people calling back or "PRESS 1" transfers. If you do not set the end time the system will assign this end time to 8 pm local time. Therefore, make sure that you always set a start and stop time that will allow your staff to answer calls and questions.
SCHEDULING START TIME: Text Messages only have a start time and will go out as soon as possible and then the report will be sent 60 minutes after the last text has been sent as the system keeps checking the delivery status up to one hour to insure the best delivered / failed information.
There are FOUR ways to record a message for your robocalls.
1) Dial the phone number supplied in the portal, enter your key code and start talking. Messages can be up to 2 MINUTES LONG and you can play one message for a live answer and a different message for voice mail. The Robotalker.com system can detect if a live person answers or an answering machine. This allows you to customize your message for the live message to prompt people to press keys to request more information, opt out or be transferred to the caller ID number display (FREE TRANSFERS OF CALLS FOR 20 TALK TIME MINUTES, then disconnect). You may record as many messages as you like and they will show up in the user portal. You may then play them back and name them for later use and erase those that will not be used.
2) Upload an audio file in the user portal by selecting the message file in any format and uploading into your list. You can then rename and later use in call jobs or play it for incoming phone calls using the auto-responder. These messages can be created by professional voice talent or record on your cell phone and edited then uploaded.
3) Record your message inside the user portal using your PC's microphone. This way of recording a message works with most browsers and is self-explanatory.
4) Email us the message file at info@RoboTalker.com and we can clean, crop and trim the message and then we can upload the message for you.
