“I am a youth minister and have spent hours in the past calling students individually to remind them of an upcoming event or to get out an urgent announcement. With DialMyCalls.com, I cut that time down to about 1 minute. I also love how I can see exactly who answered live and how long they listened so I know if they heard the whole message. DialMyCalls.com is the best website I have stumbled upon all year! Thanks!”

One person will be designated as the first person in the tree, let’s call them the tree trunk. They will be assigned two people to call with the message, we will call those two people the branches. From that point on, each of those two people will have two people they need to call and thus we have the origin of “Phone Tree”.
