Do we need a local branch office?

No. DID numbers run in the cloud, allowing international offices to answer calls dynamically.

How quickly are DIDs provisioned?

Most major area code numbers can be assigned and activated within 24 hours.

What is Bulk SMS's Voice API and how does it work in Brazil?

The Voice API allows companies to integrate automated phone calls and telephony workflows into their software. It operates over high-performance SIP connections with ANATEL-licensed telecom carriers.

What is the quality of the Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine used?

We utilize state-of-the-art AI-driven TTS engines. The Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation is fluid, respects punctuation pauses, and sounds like a friendly local customer representative.

How does the Dynamic IVR (URA) work in the Voice API?

You can program the voice flow to interact with the customer via DTMF keypress menus (e.g., "Press 1 for Billing, press 2 for Support") with key captures transmitted via webhooks in milliseconds.

Do you offer reliable Answering Machine Detection (AMD)?

Yes. Our advanced AMD algorithm sweeps the line in milliseconds during initial connection, differentiating active carrier mailboxes from live human responses, ensuring your message only plays upon human answer.

How is voice call pricing structured in Brazil?

Telephony rates follow ANATEL standard fractional billing (typically 30/6, meaning we charge a minimum of 30 seconds and then every 6 seconds), providing excellent cost optimization.

Does the Voice API support call recording and secure storage?

Yes. You can record calls automatically. The generated high-quality MP3/WAV audio files are stored in secure, encrypted buckets in Brazil, adhering to legal records guidelines.

What is the maximum simultaneous call capacity supported?

Our dedicated SIP trunk infrastructure scales from light business lines to high-throughput bursts of 50,000 concurrent calls for large enterprise notifications.

What is a Flash Call and how does it work?

A Flash Call is an alternative authentication method where the system places a quick 1-second call and hangs up before the user answers. The validation code is the last few digits of the caller ID.

DID Virtual & Local Phone Numbers

What are DID numbers and why use them?

DID (Direct Inward Dialing) numbers are virtual local lines. Customers calling your DID pay local rate costs, helping build regional credibility.

Deploy toll-free 0800 lines or specific area codes (like Sao Paulo DDD 11 or Rio DDD 21) to connect with customers seamlessly.
