Do I need a smartphone to access your service? 

You can use any phone to access our service. Either a land-line phone or a cellphone would be fine, as long as it can make a phone call. To start, you can dial one of the phone numbers listed here. 

How do I interact with the service? Can I use phone pad to perform all the tasks? 

You can use either voice commands, or you can use phone pad to perform all the tasks. If background noise is interfering the service, you can also turn off voice recognition, by pressing the star or asterisk key twice. To resume voice recognition, you can double press the star or asterisk key again. 

Some web pages are not quite accessible using my screen reader. Can TeleTender read those web pages for me? 

Most likely yes. TeleTender use our own algorithms to get the texts from web page. Anything visible on the web browser will be read out, even for those web pages that were not accessible. That being said, web pages designed with accessibility in mind still have a better browsing experience. 

What are the limitations of TeleTender? 

If a web page contains links to word document, PDF files, etc., TeleTender can't download the documents and read the them, even if you click the link.

Also, using TeleTender, you can't hear sounds played from the browser. 

How does the reminder work? 

The reminder service allows you to specify a time, and TeleTender will call you at that specified time. You can record a voice message when you create the reminder, so when you get the call, the message will be played, and you know what this reminder is about. 

Can I use a different phone number for receiving the reminder? 

You can change the phone number for receiving reminder. However, you need to register that phone number with your account first. See below FAQ to learn how to add a new phone number to your account. 

I got a new phone number. How can I add the new number to my TeleTender account? 

Firstly, ensure that you have set a passcode for your account, and enable logon from other phones. 

Then use your new phone to call the TeleTender, and logon to your account by providing your old phone number and passcode. Then you can register the new phone in the settings menu.

Once the new phone number is registered, you can remove the old phone number from your account. 

Do I need a passcode to access my TeleTender account? Can I access it using my friend's phone? 

By default, the system checks the caller ID, and allows you to logon if it matches with the original caller ID used when the account was created. For better protection, you can set a passcode in the settings menu, and ask the system to check passcode while logon.

By default, you can't logon to your account from other phones. If needed, you can enable it in the settings menu. When you logon to your account from other phones, the system will ask you to provide your own phone number and your passcode. 

 

I forgot my passcode, how to reset it? 

When you logon, select the option to create a new passcode. The system will call the phone number listed on your account to give you the new passcode. 

How does the conference and chat room work? 

With the conference and chat room service, you can talk with people in the same chat room. There is a global chat room available to everybody. There are regional chat rooms for each area code. You can also create your own chat rooms. When you do that, optionally, you can add a PIN to the chat room, thus only those who know the PIN can join the discussion. 

How much does this service cost?
