DialMyCalls Mass Notification

We have been using DialMyCalls for many months now at our church. Before this we had used another calling service that requires computer hardware. I love the simplicity of DialMyCalls. I can instantly send messages to my entire congregation or schedule one for later. The phone app is the best part of this.

I tried signing up for a free account and was immediately locked out. I called support and they told me it was because I was behind a corporate firewall and to download the app. I guess they do not work with enterprises! I downloaded this app and was still locked out. I called support back and they said I needed to email them a photo of my drivers license to verify my identity. Mind you when I signed up for the account all I entered was an email and a password. I never gave them any personal info. How would they “verify” my identity when they did not have name to verify it against and what kind of an organization asks you to email a drivers license which is a sure way to become a victim of identity theft. I am very suspicious of their intentions!

I use this app everyday and it is quite useful. The only thing I have an issue with is that I can’t quickly add a number without having to save it. I work in pest control and my routes aren’t exactly the same every time so making a group with certain customers doesn’t work. As of now I delete the contact list and enter the new ones for the next day. I wish there was an option to delete multiple at a time.

1. It only allows 30 second messages in the free version. 2. It doesn’t warn you in any obvious way that a jingle will be played at the beginning and end of your call in the free version. (Makes calls feel spammy!) 3. There are credits you can buy but it’s not explained what those credits get you specifically. If you’re going to offer a sample of a small number of calls per week, then let them be good quality calls. So that someone who grows their list will WANT to upgrade with you. There are free services online that don’t pull these tactics. I’m going back to them.

We’ve been using DMC to push communication to our team for a few years now. It’s become such a vital tool for us to deliver information via broadcast text messages quickly and easily. The desktop platform is great but the mobile app is the real gem!
