PINless calls
Fed up by having to coordinate PINs and dial-in numbers? Good news: You don't have to go back to the days of prepaid phone cards and landlines. With Dialpad, calling without PINs is safe, secure, and simple. (But you can still set one up a PIN if you want!) Sign up for the free Dialpad Ai Meetings plan to try it out.
What are PINless calls?
PINless dialling is exactly what it sounds like: calls that don’t require participants to dial an access number and provide a PIN number to join the call. Traditionally, conference calling required all participants to enter a four or six-digit number, and sometimes they even had to wait to receive a notification by email or SMS allowing them to join the private call.
With PINless calling, we don't have to do this anymore. With some solutions, like Dialpad, the host or moderator can admit participants from a virtual waiting room and screen them using their caller ID. This way, they can connect to the call without punching in a PIN, making conference calling much more convenient and efficient.
How does PINless calling work?
Making a PINless call with Dialpad is very straightforward. Just log into your account in a web browser and go to the Settings screen. You should see your business phone number, hold music, and the option to toggle the PIN requirement on or off:
If you toggle that on, you’ll see the option to change the PIN.
👉 Quick note:
If you just want to have PINless video meetings, you can do that on a free Dialpad Ai Meetings plan. On the other hand, if you want to have PINless conference calls (that involve dialling actual phone numbers), then Dialpad's Ai Voice pricing plans start at only £12 per user per month—and come with unlimited VoIP calling in your country, the US, and Canada!
