Before you call.
How do I know a call or text is really from 1Dial?
1Dial only contacts you about a request you made. If a call or text ever feels off, hang up and call us back on a number from this page.
Do I need a smartphone or an app?
No app or account is needed. You can call 1Dial from a phone, including a landline. Text messages and text reminders require a phone that can receive them. You can use the service by phone without opting into SMS.
Can I use 1Dial as a caregiver?
Yes. You can ask for help researching services, calling providers, checking availability, or setting your own reminders. Tell 1Dial who you’re helping and the practical details providers need. Providers may need permission directly from the person receiving the service.
Does 1Dial provide medical advice or care?
1Dial helps with information and everyday coordination. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment, provide hands-on care, or monitor someone’s safety. Ask a qualified healthcare professional about care decisions. For an emergency, contact local emergency services.
Is the service free?
1Dial is free to use. You pay providers directly for any services you choose. Your carrier’s message and data rates may apply.
