How does Dialup work?

Automatic calls.

Get recurring calls with people you want to meet. Whether it's discussing what book you’re reading, what you’re making for breakfast, the full moon—Dialup will ring your phones on an automated schedule and pair you randomly in a one-on-one conversation.

You never need to remember to call. Dialup calls for you.

Deeper connections.

Meet people based on your particular interests.

Want an opportunity to discuss sci-fi writing with a stranger on a Thursday afternoon? You might match with each other in a call.

Dialup connects people in one-on-ones all over the world.

Opt-in only.

You’ll always know it’s a call from Dialup. When you pick up a call, on the other end of the phone is someone you’ve been meaning to talk to or someone you might want to meet. We use custom caller IDs instead of phone numbers to make it obvious.

Dialup is the magic of old telephones, before there were robocalls.
