How to enable auto-dial on Android

What is auto dialer on a phone?

First of all, let's take a closer look at what this option means.

Auto redial is a repeated automated dialing of a number until the called subscriber picks up the phone. At the same time, if the line is busy, a reset occurs or the subscriber is unavailable, the call will be made automatically until you are answered.

In what cases is this functionality especially useful?

If you are trying to call a government agency.
When it is fundamentally important for you to talk to your interlocutor as soon as possible.
In case you are trying to “get” a subscriber who is deliberately ignoring you.
If you are trying to call a popular number that does not have a built-in PBX.

The auto-dial function is a professional tool for people in such professions as bank collectors, employees of customer service centers, advertising agencies, and companies that work with government agencies.

There are two types of schedules in the program

One call will be made at a specific time each day.
The subscriber is called after a set time period.

If, after a specified period of time has elapsed or after dialing the required number of repetitions, it is not possible to get through, the function is disabled. Another very useful feature is automatic callback to preset numbers. That is, you can create a special list for relatives or close people who have an expensive tariff. And if a call comes from one of them, then to start the callback auto-dialer you just need to reset.

Calling the database using Android

We'll tell you how to make calls to your base using an Android phone.

How to enable auto-dial on Android

There are several basic ways to connect the auto-dial service on your phone:

Using default programs built into the operating system (if any).
Addition of smartphone functionality using separately downloaded applications.
Connecting an online service (which will most likely be paid).
By contacting your mobile operator and activating an additional auto-dialing service.

It is worth noting that most modern mobile phones already have this function in the operating system. To start using it fully, you just need to connect it and switch it to active mode.

To gain access to the feature discussed, you need to follow a series of sequential steps:

Go to the main phone settings menu (gear icon).
Find the “System Applications” section.
In this option block you need to select the “Phone” line.
Here you will have to find a section with advanced settings.
This is where the auto-dial function is hidden (automatic call back if the line is busy). All that remains is to activate it by switching the slider to the active position.

Stock firmware capabilities

Some scrupulous smartphone manufacturers still do not forget to add the ability to auto-dial to the Android platform in the factory firmware. First of all, this concerns the Samsung brand and its Galaxy series, where this functionality is implemented most competently.

In the menu, just select the “Phone” section, then go to “Call Settings”, then “Advanced Settings” and tap on the checkbox with auto-dial. After this, all your unanswered calls will be redialed, and if the connection is successful, you will receive a corresponding notification in the previously selected form (vibrate or melody).

Similar functionality is implemented in other phones of famous brands, such as Xiaomi or Lenovo, where both here and there the firmware is literally crammed with various “tricks”, including auto-dial for Android. But, as mentioned above, this feature is a rare guest on smartphones from other manufacturers.

How to enable auto dialing service using an operator

Connecting to services from mobile operators is not as popular as using applications. Nevertheless, this option is also available to users. To install the option. You need to contact the operator’s website or the company’s office.

Let's look at the setup process using MTS as an example:

Enter the short command *110#;
We confirm the request to activate or deactivate the option;
In this case, the called subscriber will know that this option is enabled, and the system will tell you about this in a separate notification.

In general, the auto-dialer function is in the border area, since it encroaches on the privacy and space of the other subscriber. Increasingly, mobile operators are refusing to provide such services.

AutoRedial

When you first launch, you will be offered a short guide on how to optimally configure all permissions for the application to function correctly. The opening slide shows the required permissions:

The second is the basic settings that are displayed in the main window - the number of consecutive calls, the time after which the call ends and the interval after which it should be repeated.

The following demonstrates the dialing interface. As you can see, there is a button to access the phone book, just like in any other such program.

The last slide talks about how you can quickly stop dialing. Simply lower the curtain and tap on the notification from AutoRedial, or go to the application and click on the red “Hang Up” button.

After the introductory presentation, the user is taken to the main window. Additional settings are accessed by clicking the button depicting three horizontal lines in the upper left corner:

The main drawback of the program is the low degree of adaptation to high-resolution screens. Some elements look stretched, and the design of two function buttons clearly used raster images rather than vector ones. Otherwise, the program works as stated, errors that users find are sent through the built-in bug reporter and promptly corrected.

How to disable auto-dial on Android

To disable the option, you need to remember how you enabled it:

If you used the operating system settings, then in the “Advanced settings” section you need to move the slider opposite the “Auto dial-up” function to the inactive position;
If you used the operator’s service, notify the company representative that there is no need to use the service or disable the setting in your personal account;
If you used a third party application. Then you can disable it or completely delete it from the smartphone’s memory.

Bonus: the best auto-dialer apps for Android

The range of third-party applications and programs for setting up auto-dial is also quite wide. Here are some examples of the best solutions for Android smartphone owners. All software can be downloaded from the official Play Market application store. A nice bonus is that each of them is free.

Auto Dialer. An intuitive and fairly simple utility that fully copes with its functions. Occupies a minimal amount of built-in memory - only 3.7 MB. There is one limitation - it does not work with two SIM cards.

Auto dialer. This program is a little more functional, but contains built-in advertising and uses techniques to encourage purchases. The “pro” version without annoying ads costs 99 rubles. If the phone has several SIM cards, it works with the one that is fixed in the main slot. There is a nuance: when you get into “busy” mode, the program does not drop the call immediately, but waits for the operator to disconnect the call.

Auto dialer. Another analogue from other developers. It has additional settings for dialing several numbers attached to one contact. Here you can also adjust the number of calls, as well as the length of time between redials.

Auto Dialer Expert. This software generally replicates the capabilities of its analogues. Unlike other options, this program has relatively good reviews. The application has a built-in ability to purchase paid content at prices ranging from 69 to 159 rubles. The amount of memory needed to install the distribution is only 3.1 MB.

On a note! In general, when using applications, you can set the total duration of the call, the interval between redials, and specify one or more numbers. In the advanced settings there are also options to activate speakerphone and record a telephone conversation by default.

Ask a Question

Question to the expert

Which cell phone operating systems already have a built-in Auto Redial option?

The Android OS contains this option in “sleep mode” on devices from manufacturers: Honor, Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, Meizu, etc.

Is the service suitable for professional call centers?

The auto-dial function is good, but when using this technology professionally, it is still better to use a stationary device. These are sold in electronics stores and on the Internet.

What other programs or applications are there for connecting automatic dialing?

If the programs mentioned in the article are not enough, you can pay attention to such products as Super Dialer, AD CallPro, AutoRecall, Kaller #9. To find them in the store, just copy the software name into the search bar (indicated by a magnifying glass).

Is it legal to use such a service?

There is no ban on auto-dialing in Russia, but the owner of the phone. Someone who constantly receives calls can complain to the appropriate services. In this case, you may be asked to disable the feature for a specific person.

Auto Call Scheduler

Another simple solution for automating the scheduled dialing process. The main window contains only one button that allows you to add a new event:

Tapping this button opens a rather modest menu with all the available parameters for the upcoming automatic dialing:

Let's look at each point in more detail:

At the top there is a field for entering a number and an associated button for selecting a subscriber from the Contacts application.
Next are the parameters for selecting the time and date of the upcoming call.
After that there are two checkboxes. The first one includes asking for permission before making a call (a notification will be sent to the curtain and the phone will play an alert tone). The second one is activated after the first one and allows you to play the main ringtone instead of the standard alert.
Below the checkboxes is a slider that allows you to change the time after which you need to hang up. The minimum number is 0, the maximum is 120 seconds.
The “Tap here to set repeat” area opens a pop-up window that allows you to more flexibly configure all repeat parameters, from days of the week to the number of attempts:

Today it is an almost ideal replacement for the previous application, although it requires quite a large number of permissions when installing and launching. It is possible to turn off all advertising for 10 days by watching one video. There are no other settings, such as changing the appearance to the dark mode that is fashionable today, which means that owners of AMOLED screens will have to either look for an alternative or put up with a slightly faster battery drain.
