# folk calls you

> for the moments a text isn't loud enough - Folk rings your phone and talks to you.

some things deserve a ring, not a buzz. Folk can place a real phone call to
your number and talk to you out loud - wake-up calls, urgent reminders, or
anything you'd rather hear than read.

> call me at 7am tomorrow and don't stop until I sound awake

> if the flight gets delayed, call me immediately

> call me in 20 minutes so I have an excuse to leave

when the moment comes, your phone rings, and it's Folk - it knows why it's
calling and has the context to actually talk it through with you.

## pick the voice

choose what Folk sounds like on the phone in your
[dashboard](https://folk.com/dashboard/calls). the voice picker has a range of
options - pick one, it applies to every call after that.

## call Folk back

it works both ways: ring the number Folk texts you from and Folk picks up,
knows who you are, and carries on like the conversation never stopped. handy
when you're driving and need something done hands-free.

## the fine print

- Folk only ever calls **your own verified number** - the one you signed up
  with. it can't call your friends, your ex, or a restaurant on your behalf.
- calls are sensibly rate-limited so a runaway routine can't ring you off the
  hook.
- every plan gets a taste of calling; paid plans get **more calls and more
  minutes** - see [plans](/docs/privacy-plans-and-keys).

> **missed the call?**
>
  ask Folk in chat what the call was about and it can pull up what was said.
