How to Make a Call in Calilio?

You can make a call in Calilio from the built-in dialer, which is available on every screen. Open it, choose the number you want to call from, enter the number you want to call, and press the green call button.


Step 1: Open the built-in dialer


  • Click the green dialer button on the right edge of any screen.
  • The built-in dialer opens as a floating panel.
  • Drag it anywhere on the screen. It remains open as you navigate through Calilio.



Click the green dialer button on the right edge.


Step 2: Choose the number you want to call from


  • The blue header at the top of the built-in dialer shows your outbound number.
  • That number appears as the caller ID to the individual you call.
  • Click the header to switch to another number assigned to you.


Note If only one number is assigned to you, Calilio selects it automatically, and you don't need to change anything.



The blue header shows the number your call is placed from.


Step 3: Enter the number you want to call


  • Choose the destination country from the flag dropdown.
  • Type the number on the keypad, or paste it into the field.
  • You can also choose one of the recent numbers listed above the keypad.
  • Check the local time that Calilio shows for the destination before you call.



Choose the country, then enter the number on the keypad.


Step 4: Press the green call button


  • Press the green call button to connect.
  • Allow your browser to access your microphone when prompted.
  • The built-in dialer switches to the call screen.



Press the green call button to connect.


Expected result


  • The call screen shows the number you are calling and its country.
  • The call screen includes controls for Tags, Notes, Invite, Mute, Record, Hold, Keypad, and Transfer.
  • Click the red button to end the call.
  • The call is saved automatically to the inbox of the number you used to place it.


How do I call a saved contact?


  • Open the Contacts tab at the bottom of the built-in dialer.
  • Search for the contact by name or number.
  • Click a contact to place a call without manually entering the phone number.



Open the Contacts tab to call a saved contact.


Can I set a default number for outgoing calls?


  • Yes. Open the Settings tab in the built-in dialer.
  • Set a Default Number and a Default country.
  • Calilio preselects both each time you open the built-in dialer.

Why is my call not connecting?


  • Microphone access may be blocked in your browser: allow microphone access, then reload the page.
  • Your wallet balance has run out: add funds to resume making outgoing calls.
  • No number is assigned to you: ask your workspace administrator to assign one before you place outbound calls.
  • The destination country isn't enabled for your account: contact our support team to request access.



Contact Calilio support


If your call still does not connect after these checks, contact our support team with the number you called from, the number you dialed, and the date and time with your timezone.


For your security, do not share passwords or payment card details.
