Coding / product dossier
Dial
Gives agents phone numbers for calls, SMS, iMessage, and inbound verification codes.
Product brief
What Dial does.
Your agent can deploy in seconds but cannot get a phone number. Dial fixes that - one API call and it gets a real one in about 10 seconds. It places and receives voice calls, sends and receives SMS in 200+ countries, and messages over iMessage. It can even read inbound verification codes, so phone-gated signups stop being a dead end. Works via REST API, CLI, MCP servers, and SDKs. Free credit on signup, no card.
Why we selected it
A concrete missing primitive for autonomous workflows: provisioning a real number and handling calls, SMS, and iMessage through APIs, CLI, MCP servers, or SDKs.
