Hi all.
Does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced auto-dialer unit?
They are not that common now, and in some cases illegal, as there were a whole lot of phone-scams being run by them not that long ago.
However, in my case, I have a legitimate reason to need one.
1) Push a button
2) Auto-dialer dials after-hours emergency help staff member
3) Plays pre-recorded message stating that location X needs extra help.
It's the way places seem to be doing things now, in order to cut down on wage costs by having more then one person on duty.
I'd also be very interested in any kind app that could simply be installed on the staff cellphone that would do the same thing - touch a "Button" on the app, and it would auto-dial the A/H support person.
"Why doesn't the on-duty person just call the A/H person themselves?"
Good question, but management want it done this way - perhaps for reasons of privacy of the A/H help number or location or something. In any event, they want it button-driven.
Anyone got any links or suggestions?
