A text alone does not always wake someone up. SMSEagle can escalate any alert to an actual phone call, so it can’t be missed.
With voice calls, the on-call person’s phone rings like a normal call, so the alert is noticed straight away.
An SMS won’t get there, but a call will: SMSEagle rings the landline and reads the alert out loud.
Wake-up calls for pure attention, Text-to-Speech for spoken messages, or Audio File calls for a pre-recorded announcement, pick whichever fits the alert.
The Advanced TTS voice model library covers a wide range of languages, with multiple voices for some of them, plus lifelike ElevenLabs-generated speech when you need it.
Start any call type manually from the web interface, or automatically as part of a rule, workflow, or API integration.
No separate app for calls
Choose Wake-Up, Text-to-Speech, or Audio File right alongside your SMS, no separate tool or interface to learn.
Set exactly who hears what
Pick a phone number or phonebook contact, write the message or select the audio file, and set how long the call should last.
Fast, built-in speech
Text-to-Speech Simple runs directly on the device, fast, no internet needed.
Natural-sounding speech, multiple languages
Connect to the ElevenLabs API to turn text into natural, high-quality speech in multiple languages.
Know if the call got through
Check the status of every call you have made, including retries and the status code, in the call history.
SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway
SMSEagle combines hardware and software into a single, self-contained gateway. It is designed for critical environments, so security is built in from the ground up, confirmed by CE, FCC, ISED, UKCA, PTCRB, RCM, IMDA, TDRA, CB Scheme, GCF, carrier certifications (Verizon, AT&T) and ISO 27001.
Wake-Up Calls (ring only), Text-to-Speech calls, and Audio File calls using pre-recorded WAV files.
Simple TTS uses the built-in hardware synthesis engine and speaks English only. Advanced TTS supports many languages via voice models you upload: pick one from the SMSEagle voice model list, or use any other voice model compatible with the Piper library.
It generates natural, lifelike voice audio from text in multiple languages, and requires a connection to the ElevenLabs API.
Yes. Calls can be created via the web interface or the API, so they can be triggered as part of a rule or workflow.
WAV format, 8 kHz or 16 kHz, mono, 16-bit PCM.
The Calls (Voice) feature is a built-in capability available on all current SMSEagle hardware SMS gateways with voice call support.
