When to pick this

When a phone call is the only thing that works

Phone calls are the loudest channel and the most expensive. Reserve them for the alerts you cannot afford to miss.

DND

Sleeping responder

iPhone repeated calls and Android phone-favourites bypass Do-Not-Disturb. A phone call is the only way to wake someone reliably.

Last resort

Final escalation step

Use voice as step 2 or 3 in the chain — after Telegram or SMS — so the first responder sees it before it ever rings the manager.

Customer ops

Non-engineering recipients

Account managers, support leads and shift supervisors may not run Telegram. A phone call reaches anyone with a number.

What to expect

Real numbers and economics for the PSTN voice path.

Median latency
~8s

From dispatch decision to ringtone on the recipient phone. PSTN carriers add 3–10 seconds.

Cost
PAYG per minute

Voice is billed per minute and depends on the destination region. Pay-as-you-go from your account balance — top up any time, no monthly inclusion.

Delivery proof
DTMF + log

We log dial attempt, answer, DTMF input or timeout. The audit line is signed with the recipient_uuid.

Constraint
Number quality

Toll-free and reputation depend on the originating number. We rotate carriers for reach.

Setup

Three steps to first call

Add the recipient phone, write the script, send a test call. Less than five minutes.

  1. 1Step 1

    Add a phone number

    Recipients → Add → Phone. Include the country code (E.164 format). WardenPoint validates the format on save.

    $ +15550142
  2. 2Step 2

    Pick or write a TTS script

    Default script reads the message body and priority. For technical alerts you may craft a shorter script with macros like {service} and {duration}.

    $ Templates › Voice script
  3. 3Step 3

    Send a test call

    Dashboard → Send test → Voice. The platform places a real call from a WardenPoint-owned number. Use DTMF 1 to acknowledge.

    $ Send test → Voice
