PINless calls
Fed up by having to coordinate PINs and dial-in numbers? Good news: You don't have to go back to the days of prepaid phone cards and landlines. With Dialpad's AI-powered collaboration platform, calling without PINs is safe, secure, and simple. (But you can still set one up a PIN if you want!) Sign up for the free plan to try it out.
What are PINless calls?
PINless dialing is exactly what it sounds like: calls that don’t require participants to dial an access number and provide a PIN number to join the call. Traditionally, conference calling required all participants to enter a four or six-digit number, and sometimes they even had to wait to receive a notification by email or SMS allowing them to join the private call.
With PINless calling, we don't have to do this anymore. With some solutions, like Dialpad, the host or moderator can admit participants from a virtual waiting room and screen them using their caller ID. This way, they can connect to the call without punching in a PIN, making conference calling much more convenient and efficient.
How does PINless calling work?
Making a PINless call with Dialpad is very straightforward. Just log into your account in a web browser and go to the Settings screen. You should see your business phone number, hold music, and the option to toggle the PIN requirement on or off:
If you toggle that on, you’ll see:

Because a lot of our people are in rural places and we’ve got a lot of older people, we needed something that just worked. And Dialpad Ai Meetings? It just worked. You don’t even have to put a PIN in.
