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 +221 for Senegal

Immediately follow with Senegal's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Senegal'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 Senegal. 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

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

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.
