Questions about when to send

5 pm in the recipient's own time zone, Tuesday to Thursday. In VoiceDrop's call records, voicemails that landed at 5 pm drew 24% more callbacks than the average hour, and Tuesday to Thursday drew 14% more than Monday or Friday.

8 am in the recipient's time zone drew the fewest callbacks of any hour inside legal calling hours: 13% below the average hour. Most voicemails still go out in the morning, so moving a send to late afternoon is the cheapest change you can make.

Because both the callbacks and the law follow the recipient's clock, not yours. 5 pm in New York is 2 pm in Los Angeles, so one send to a national list lands at a different hour in every zone. Splitting the list into one wave per time zone puts every voicemail at 5 pm where it lands.

On weekdays, 5 pm is inside the calling hours of every state. Weekends differ: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Utah allow no solicitation calls on Sundays, South Dakota bars autodialed ones on weekends, and Rhode Island's Saturday window ends at 5 pm. The tool flags each of those and suggests the best legal hour instead.

More. A caller ID from the recipient's own state got 65% more callbacks than an out-of-state number in VoiceDrop's call records, so send each wave from a number in the recipients' state.

No. It reads the area codes in your browser and never sends the list anywhere. You can paste thousands of numbers in any format: (212) 555-0134, 212-555-0134, +1 212 555 0134 or just 212.

Send every wave at 5 pm their time, without the spreadsheet.

VoiceDrop schedules delivery by each recipient's time zone, sends from numbers that match their area code, and holds every voicemail inside legal calling hours.
