Email To Phone Business Communications
Use Email to make a phone call or send an SMS, even a rich text SMS that is password protected. We transform an email message into a phone call or an SMS
For TTS, we dial the number in the TO field of the Email, which looks something like 5551234567@tts.message-service.org (international calls require a +CountryCode in front of the local number) The recipient will receive a call on their phone. The text in the email is converted to a nice-sounding voice. If the recipient answers, they will hear the message right away. If they do not answer, the message will be left on their voicemail system. You can also send to a list of recipients. The recipients on the list can either be called all at once or called sequentially stopping when one acknowledges receipt of the call. This is called an Escalation List.
If you want to send an SMS, the content of the Email will be converted to an SMS text message and sent to the recipient’s mobile phone.
