01 — THE PROBLEM

You're losing 43 days of your life
to hold music.

Not just minutes. Afternoons with your kid. Lunches you ate at your desk. Errands you put off. All so a company you already pay can tell you to "press 4."

02 — HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. About 30 seconds of your time.

No app to download. No login to set up. One text, and the rest of your afternoon is yours.

1

Text us the company

"Call Delta about my flight." That's the whole brief. IRS, airline, bank, utility, your doctor's office. If they have a phone, we dial it.

2

Go live your day

While you're back at work, we're punching through the phone menus and waiting in line. We text you every few minutes with our spot in queue. No surprises.

3

Pick up to a real human

Your phone rings. A live agent is already on the line, waiting for you. You handle the call. The 13 minutes you would've lost? Yours again.

04 — EARLY USERS

WORKS WITH ANY US COMPANY

From the IRS to your insurance.

We've held the line with companies in every category Americans dread calling. If they have a phone, we've dialed it.

05 — BEFORE / AFTER

Same problem. Two very different afternoons.

One ends with you yelling "REPRESENTATIVE" at a robot. The other ends with the issue actually fixed.

WITHOUT ANTIHOLD
  • You hunt for the number. You dial.
  • "Press 4 for billing… now press 2…"
  • 30 to 60 minutes of "your call is important to us"
  • Phone glued to your ear. Work on pause.
  • You hang up. The problem is still there.
WITH ANTIHOLD
  • One text. The company name. Done.
  • The phone menu is our problem now
  • We hold. You go back to your day.
  • Texts every few minutes so you're never guessing
  • You only pick up when a real human is there
06 — THE FINE PRINT (ISN'T)

No subscription. No tricks. No app.

Five plain-English promises. Nothing buried, nothing to argue about later.

You pay only when it works.

No human on the line means no charge. Dropped call, busy line, after-hours, glitch on our end? We eat it. You'll never see "we tried" on a bill. That was the deal we made with ourselves before we built this.

You always know what's happening

Place in queue, time on hold, where we are in the menu, texted every few minutes. You're never wondering. You're never stuck staring at your phone.

Your number stays yours

The company sees a number we own, not yours. So no marketing call-backs land in your pocket later. We don't sell data. We don't have partners to sell it to. TCPA compliant.

If it has a phone, we'll call it

Airlines, the IRS, insurance, your kid's pediatrician, the cable company, the DMV. We haven't met one we can't get through. So you can stop saving "the call I've been dreading" for next weekend.

We don't record your calls

No audio kept. The bot dials, listens for a real human, hands you the line, and forgets. Data deleted the moment you're connected.

07 — FAQ

The questions we get a lot.

Yours isn't here? Email us. A human reads every message.

Text us the company name and a one-line note about why you're calling. Something like, "Call Verizon, charge I don't recognize." We dial in, push through the phone menu, and wait on hold. The moment a live agent picks up, your phone rings. You take the call from there.
No catch. The bot does the boring part (dialing, menus, waiting), so we can run it cheaply at scale. We charge enough to keep the lights on and refund you when it fails. There's no upsell, no premium tier, no "Pro" version. $3 is the whole price.
Yes. First one is on us. No card on file, no surprise renewal, no subscription to cancel. We'd rather you try it once and then decide if it's worth $3 next time.
You don't pay. The bill only fires when a real agent is on the line with you. Dropped call, busy line, after-hours, weird tech glitch? All on us.
You can. Plenty of people do. But the average US hold time is 13 minutes. At $25 an hour, that's $5.42 of your time. We charge $3, and you get those 13 minutes back. Try it free next time you'd be holding anyway. If it's not worth $3, don't use us again.
Any company with a US phone number. The usual list: airlines (Delta, American, United, Southwest), cable and internet (Spectrum, Comcast, AT&T), banks, insurance, IRS, Social Security, Medicare, DMV, doctor's offices, utilities. If you can call them, we can call them.
Depends on who you're calling. A bank at 10am? Maybe 5 minutes. Social Security on a Monday morning? Could be an hour. Doesn't really matter, though, because you're not the one waiting. We text you every few minutes so you know roughly where we are.
The company we're calling sees a number we own, not yours. We don't sell data, we don't share it with marketing partners (we don't have any), and we delete what we don't need. We're TCPA compliant.
Yes. Once we hand you the call, you're talking to the same agent you would've reached by dialing yourself. Same authority, same options, same outcome. The only thing we removed is the part where you wait.
