For schools and districts
One number every family can call for the latest from school.
Closures, early dismissals, the week ahead. Post it once and families hear it from any phone, any time, including the ones who miss the email and don't use the app.
Snow days and closures
On Growth, Play now puts a closure notice ahead of everything else for the hours you choose, then your regular audio message comes back by itself.
The principal's weekly update
Record in your browser or call in from your phone. Schedule it to start Monday morning and end on Friday.
Families who speak Spanish
Set your line's language to Spanish so the prompts callers hear are in Spanish, and record your update in Spanish, or in both languages in one audio message.
Never a dead line
A fallback recording, like your office hours, plays whenever nothing else is scheduled.
Which plan?
We suggest Growth: $49 a month
Play now for closure days, and room for 5 office staff to share the account.
2,500 phone listening minutes a month, audio messages up to 90 minutes, and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

- Does it send anything to people?
- No. DialAMessage is a number people call when they want to listen. Tell people the number yourself, in print, by email or out loud, and share your listening page link with people who'd rather tap than dial.
- How fast does a change go live?
- Publish an audio message and callers hear it on their next call. You can call the number yourself to check, and your dashboard shows what callers hear right now.
- Can the line speak Spanish?
- Yes. Each line's language is English or Spanish, and it sets everything callers hear from us. Your own audio messages play exactly as you record them.
- Do callers need a smartphone or the internet?
- No. Your number works from any phone: landline, flip phone or smartphone. Callers don't need an app, an internet connection or an account. They dial and listen.
- What does it cost?
- Starter is $19 a month with 750 phone listening minutes. Growth is $49 a month with 2,500. Listening on your web page is free. There's no free trial, but you can get your first payment back within 14 days.
