How it works

Phone presence + status

Dialpad presence and status indicators give you a quick way to see if a team member is available, busy, or away before you message or call them. Presence information is automatically updated when you’re in a meeting or conference call, and you can also manually add a custom status. Try it for free!

Truly unified communications

With Dialpad, you can have conference calls and video meetings, and send SMS/MMS or instant messages—all from one beautiful app, over your cellular or Wi-Fi connection. And if you're on a phone call with someone else, your teammates will see that you're busy on a call through your presence status.

Built-in AI

One unique thing about Dialpad is its proprietary AI, Dialpad Ai. Not only can it transcribe your phone conversations in real time, it can also track keywords for you and even send all your meeting attendees a post-call summary email with a searchable transcript, highlights, and more.

Customizable caller ID

Stop carrying around two phones. Make work calls from your personal cell phone—while protecting your personal phone number. Just choose the caller ID you want to display from the drop-down menu. (For sales teams, this can also reduce the chance of hang-ups since they can choose to display a local area code in the caller ID.)
