Exchange voice messages between SMS and old phones.
First, you make a voice recording and text it to 844-961-2835.
Then we call Grandma's phone and play your recording.
Finally, we text you what she says after the beep.
Works for Grandpa, too.
After you send us a text with the key word storycall, we send you a welcome message.
Reply with a voice recording of the phone number we should call with your future messages — not speech-to-text dictation, but an audio attachment. Here's how:
By texting this number, you consent to receive transactional SMS messages and automated voice calls from StoryCall related to message delivery. Message frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
Yes. StoryCall is designed to work well on old landlines and smart phones.
No. Grandma receives a normal phone call, listens, and replies after the beep.
You use SMS and attach a voice recording — both native smartphone functionality.
If Grandma doesn't answer, StoryCall will try again later.
Plus, she can say something like, “call back in an hour” or “call back tomorrow.”
