It suits churches and other organizations that need to send group text, voice or email notifications. Teams using changing contact lists may also consider its credit-based options, where unused credits roll over.

DialMyCalls is a multichannel notification service for organizations sending texts, recorded calls, and email alerts. It is especially suited to congregations and other groups that need scheduled, recurring, or two-way communications from mobile devices. Its channel coverage is broad, but church text limits and usage-based plan choices should shape the buying decision.

Overview

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, DialMyCalls serves businesses and organizations contacting customers, employees, members, or residents. The church app brings mass texting, voice broadcasts, and automated messaging to iPhone and Android. The service also offers web access, an API, and an extension.

Security measures include 256-bit SSL encryption, routine PCI compliance scans, employee two-factor authentication, and SOC 2 Type II-compliant data-center facilities. DialMyCalls says customer account information remains the organization’s property and will not be sold, disclosed, or distributed.

Key features

Text messaging

Messages can be sent immediately or scheduled, including recurring communications. MMS, templates, landline texting, text polling, audience segmentation, and two-way replies support both announcements and responses. That makes the service more useful than a one-way alert tool when recipients need to answer or when groups must be targeted separately.

Church group texts on monthly plans are limited to 157 characters. Longer messages require an additional monthly fee, so churches writing detailed updates may need to budget beyond the base plan. One credit covers one text to one number up to 157 characters.

Voice and automation

Voice broadcasts can use a recording or text-to-speech. Answering-machine detection, press-1 responses, opt-outs, and reporting provide more control than a simple prerecorded call. One credit covers a call to one number with a 30-second message.

The API can synchronize contacts and trigger SMS or voice broadcasts from existing software. Integrations include Acuity Scheduling, Calendly, Constant Contact, Eventbrite, Freshdesk, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Slack, Zapier, and Zoho. Phone and live-chat support is offered seven days a week, with email support and 24-hour emergency support for eligible accounts.

Pricing

DialMyCalls uses a freemium model, with paid service from $9.99/mo and a 14-day trial. The paid entry point includes 150 messages per month, but the practical cost depends on contacts, credits, and message length.

Free church trial

The $$0 free account permits one automatic call each week to up to 25 church members, using a 30-second message. It is suitable for a small congregation evaluating voice alerts, not for ongoing mass communication.

Contact Based

This plan has custom pricing, billed monthly or annually, with annual billing saving 10%. It fits recurring contact groups receiving messages on a set roster. The displayed price changes with the selected contact amount, so larger audiences pay according to scale.

Credit Based

Also custom-priced and available monthly or annually with a 10% annual saving, this option suits changing contact lists. Unused credits roll over, which is useful for uneven schedules; larger accounts are directed to sales.

Pay As You Go

One-time purchases require at least 200 credits. Unit prices fall with volume: 7.5¢ for 200–499 credits, 7.0¢ for 500–999, 6.5¢ for 1,000–2,499, 5.8¢ for 2,500–9,999, 5.0¢ for 10,000–24,999, 4.4¢ for 25,000–49,999, 4.1¢ for 50,000–99,999, and 3.8¢ for 100,000–250,000; larger purchases require contacting sales. This is the clearest fit for occasional campaigns, while frequent senders may prefer recurring plans.

Platforms

DialMyCalls supports Android, iOS, web, API access, and an extension. The mobile apps matter most to churches sending messages away from a desktop, while the API and integrations support organizations connecting notifications to existing systems.

Who it's for

Choose DialMyCalls for congregations, businesses, and community organizations that need text, voice, and email in one service, especially when scheduling, recurring notices, replies, or contact segmentation matter. It is less compelling for teams whose messages routinely exceed 157 characters on church monthly plans or whose usage does not fit contact- or credit-based billing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Text, voice, and email channels cover both routine notices and urgent alerts.
• Pro: Two-way messaging, polling, segmentation, scheduling, and recurring sends support interactive programs.
• Pro: API and numerous integrations can connect broadcasts to calendars, CRMs, and automation tools.
• Con: Church monthly texts stop at 157 characters unless an extra fee is paid.
• Con: Most plans use custom pricing tied to contacts or credits, making budgeting less transparent.
• Con: The free church account is limited to 25 members and one automatic call per week.

Alternatives

Pick CallHub instead if you need a paid platform with a free plan, free trial, and support across Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.

Text-Em-All (formerly Call-Em-All) is a better starting point when a free account and 25 testing credits matter, though mass texting requires an upgrade.

Choose VoiceShot for a paid voice-focused service with a $9.00 monthly urgent-alert plan for up to 50 recipients, no activation fee, and no contract.

One Call Now suits buyers considering annual, contract-based usage pricing.

Choose CallFire API when an API-only deployment and no-monthly-fee pay-as-you-go option are the priority.

Newfies-Dialer is a higher-capacity self-hosted or web alternative with paid port-based plans.

TexTalk Voice Notification is another paid API and web option.

Vasudev Voice Broadcasting provides a paid web-based alternative.

Verdict

DialMyCalls is a strong choice for organizations, particularly churches, that want text, voice, and email alerts with scheduling, replies, integrations, and mobile access. Choose it for its breadth and automation; look elsewhere if you need predictable published pricing or routinely send long church texts without an added fee.
