Questions and answers

What is DialAMessage?

A phone number for your voice. You post a recorded message, and anyone who calls your number hears it. You can also share a web listening link for people who prefer to tap instead of dial.

Do my listeners need an app, internet or an account?

No. They just call the number from any phone: landline, flip phone or smartphone.

How do I get my audio in?

Upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A or AAC), record in your web browser, call in and record by phone with your line's PIN, or connect your podcast feed so new episodes go live by themselves.

How long can a message be?

Up to 60 minutes on Starter and 90 minutes on Growth.

Can I have more than one phone number?

Every plan includes one line, which is all most groups need. On Growth you can add up to 2 more lines for $10 a month each, for example a Prayer Line next to your Sermon Line.

Can I schedule messages?

Yes. Give a message a start and end date and it plays only during those dates. A message you schedule always takes priority over automatically imported podcast episodes, and if two scheduled messages overlap, the one you scheduled most recently plays.

What do callers hear when nothing is scheduled?

Your line's fallback recording, if you've set one. If you haven't, your most recent message keeps playing, so your line is never empty.

Can individuals use DialAMessage, or only organizations?

Anyone can. Personal and organization accounts have the same features and the same price. Organizations will be able to add teammates later.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $19 a month for one line, 750 phone listening minutes and messages up to 60 minutes. See the pricing page for details.

Is there a free trial?

No, but there is a money-back guarantee: if it's not right for you, ask for a refund within 14 days of your first payment.

What are phone listening minutes?

The minutes callers spend listening by phone. Each call counts in whole minutes, rounded up. Listening on the web page is free.

Is my line public?

Yes. Anyone who has the number can call and listen, which is the point. Don't post anything you wouldn't want shared.

Will you send texts to my listeners?

Text alerts are coming after launch. Listeners will choose to receive them, and they can stop them at any time.

Which countries are supported?

Phone numbers in the United States and Canada.
