Dialpad’s built-in AI is designed by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to provide voice transcriptions for calls and video meetings—in real-time.

Visual voicemail

When you're in back-to-back meetings all day, you can't always listen to every voicemail. Dialpad's visual voicemail feature transcribes your voicemails into text, so you can quickly read them when it isn't convenient to listen to them. (It even emails the audio and text versions to you!)

Get started

Does your business need a Kentucky area code?

Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without having to rent or lease a physical location there. With an 859 area code number for Kentucky, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of Lexington, Covington, or Richmond—without having to rent or lease a physical office space.

And if you're running a marketing campaign that's trying to get potential customers to dial your business number, you can increase the chances of them calling if you make it a local number. Typically, people are far more likely to call since they won't have to worry about long-distance charges. And when you call them, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone if it's a local Kentucky area code on the caller ID.

Lexington has a super stable economy that's very diverse. It's home to businesses across industries like manufacturing and technology—and has a very low unemployment rate.

Xerox, Lexmark, Lockheed-Martin, and IBM are all in town, so if you're running a B2B operation and thinking of expanding your business to reach customers and prospects in this part of Kentucky, it's probably a good idea to equip your sales and support teams with an 859 area code number.
