Find your exit code

Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.

2

Dial +960 for Maldives

Immediately follow with Maldives's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Maldives's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.

3

Enter the area code

Add the city or regional code for your destination in Maldives. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.

4

Dial the local number

Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.

Testimonials

What teams say after 90 days on the platform.

Sample placeholders — replace with verified customer outcomes after sales approval.

Three vendors collapsed into one bill, and the AI receptionist booked $38k of consultations while we were closed. The platform paid for the year inside the first quarter.

Customer
Multi-location dental practice
on consolidating the stack

Inbound calls finally attach to the right deal. We attributed six figures of pipeline last quarter to calls that used to disappear into a generic queue.

Customer

Our outbound dialer's connect rate doubled inside two weeks. Lead prioritisation actually works when it runs against your live CRM, not a stale CSV.

Customer
Staffing agency
on the AI Power Dialer

Every after-hours call used to be a missed job — about $7k a month down the drain. The AI receptionist closed the gap in week one.
