When the whisper tone is switched on, you hear a short tone, melody or spoken message just before the call connects. Only you hear it, not the caller.
This tells you whether an incoming call is coming in on your virtual number or on your regular direct line, before you pick up.
How to activate
Log in to your dashboard and go to Number Settings. Scroll to the Whisper Tone option and switch it on.
You can choose from several standard tones and melodies, or create your own spoken whisper:
- Record it yourself: make a short recording on your mobile phone and send it to us.
- Use our text-to-speech assistant: type your message, choose a voice, and paste the generated code into the dashboard.
The whisper tone is included in every plan at no extra cost.
