Dial

Dial is a programmable communications infrastructure company. We build the verified endpoint layer that sits under communication — the stack that makes it possible to call, message, gate, pay, and authenticate any person, business, community, or AI agent, regardless of which platform or number they're on. The core product is a communication API and embeddable SDK. Partners drop in a single widget to add verified calling, gated rooms, broadcast, and programmable monetization to their products — without building telephony, identity verification, or payment infrastructure. We provision real phone numbers, manage TURN/SFU media relay, handle cryptographic authentication, and expose all of it via a developer API that is payable per-use, including by AI agents. The enabling layer is wallet infrastructure: cryptographic signing for tamper-resistant authentication, on-chain settlement for instant programmable payments, and wallet addresses as verified identity endpoints. This lets Dial do things legacy CPaaS platforms cannot — verified caller identity without a phone carrier, payments embedded in a call without a payment processor intermediary, and machine-payable APIs accessible to AI agents without human authentication flow.

Payphone

Payphone by Dial is programmable telecom infrastructure built for AI agents, applications and automations. The platform enables software to provision real phone numbers, send and receive SMS, process replies through webhooks and connect human communication directly to automated workflows. Developers can integrate through a simple API, while agents can access telecom services through MCP integrations and machine-compatible payment methods. Payphone is live and generating revenue from paid telecom usage. The initial product is focused on programmable messaging and phone lines, with a broader roadmap covering human-approval workflows, agent phone identities, team routing, verification and programmable voice. Payphone is being developed as a focused business using Dial’s underlying communications technology and infrastructure.
