How fast can Sigma Voice call my list of 1,000 contacts?

With Sigma Voice, you can choose how many phone lines you want the system to use.

For example, if you want to dial your calls very slowly, you can use 1 phone line. This will take approximately 8 hours to call your phone number list.

Alternatively, you could use 500 phone lines and complete all the calls in 8 minutes.

What format does my phone number list need to be in?

The system accepts many file types like txt, csv, xls, xlsx and more.

The phone number field must contain a 10 digit phone number which means with the area code.

The below examples are all ok.
