Phone numbers and calls

Keep your number. Let your agent pick up.

Point the numbers you already have at a Tried agent and it starts answering. Your phone company keeps billing the line as it does today.

Settings for a Melbourne bookings number: 70% of calls go to the receptionist agent and 30% to the appointment booking agent, calls allowed from Australia and New Zealand.
Each number has its own agent for incoming and outgoing calls, and its own country rules.

Your numbers

Nothing changes for your callers.

Your numbers stay with your phone company. You pay Tried only for the minutes your agent is on the call.

On the call

Handles the moments that matter.

Here the agent puts a caller through to the front desk and briefs the staff member first, so the caller never has to repeat themselves.

Call lists

Call a whole list from a spreadsheet.

Upload a spreadsheet of numbers for reminders, follow-ups or recalls. Add columns like first name or appointment time and the agent uses them on each call. Bad numbers are flagged before anything is sent.

  • Send now or schedule a start time
  • Only call during set hours in each person's time zone
  • Skip anyone on your do-not-call list
  • Same per-minute price as any other call
Create a call list with contacts.csv uploaded: four valid rows, one invalid phone number skipped, and first name and appointment time columns.

Capacity

Room for your busiest hour.

Every workspace can take several calls at once. Keep lines free for incoming calls so a call list never ties them all up.
