# Voice Calls in Mav.next: AI Agents on the Phone

> How Mav.next agents handle live phone calls — inbound and outbound, the recorded greeting and disclosure, the “call me” trigger, and continuing the SMS thread.

Mav.next agents don't just text — they handle live phone calls too. The same agent that qualified a contact over SMS can speak with them on the phone, with full memory of the conversation so far.

## Inbound and outbound calls

    When a contact calls your Mav number, the agent answers, greets them, and helps — whether they want a quote or something else.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Outbound" icon="phone-arrow-up-right">
    The agent can place a call to a contact when the moment is right — for example, to connect them with a rep.

## The “call me” trigger

A contact can ask to be called at any point in a text conversation. If they text something like “call me,” the agent can place a call and pick the conversation up by voice — no waiting, no manual dialing.

## Recorded greeting and disclosure

Every call opens with a warm greeting that includes the recording disclosure (“on a recorded line”), so the call is compliant from the first sentence. Calls are [recorded](/mav-next/call-recordings) for compliance and coaching.

## Speaking naturally

On a call the agent speaks in plain, conversational language tuned for being heard rather than read — short sentences, one question at a time, numbers and addresses spelled out clearly.

## Back to SMS

When the call ends, the conversation simply continues by text if there's more to do. The call transcript and recording are saved to the same [contact](/mav-next/contacts-overview) thread.
