The (956) area code serves Laredo, a major city in Texas, and also surrounding cities like:
Located in the Central time zone, it serves quite a few counties in Texas like Cameron, Hidalgo, and Webb (which together hold over a million people). The 956 prefix was first put into service in 1997.
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while displaying your 956 area code business number (or any other business phone number you have) and protecting your privacy. Who says you need to carry two phones around to work remotely?
Dialpad’s built-in AI is designed by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe your phone calls and video meetings—in real-time. This way, you don't have to be distracted with note-taking and can give them your full attention (and Dialpad even picks up on highlights and action items for you).
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!)
