Time required to finish a call using auto dialer

SOME CALLS TAKING 8-10 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT COULD COMPLETE 60 CALLS AN HOUR IS THEIR SOME SETTING THAT I AM MISSING TO CUT THE TIME IN BETWEEN DOWN. THANKS

First you need to figure why it takes 8 – 10 minutes to complete the call. What you can do is connect a regular phone to modem PHONE jack, and listen to it after the call is connected. (Please make sure you hangup the phone when the modem disconnect the call. You have to free the line for the next phone call)

If the system plays a simple message, then the time it takes is:
1). Dial the number
2). Wait for phone to connect and pickup
3). If answering machine, wait till beep
4). Plays your message
5). Hangup
6). Wait few seconds for the phone line to free up itself
7). Go to next call

If your message also collects response, the call time will be longer; and if there is a replay option, in theory, the other end can keep replay your message and never free up the phone.

As you can see, the majority of time spent on a call cannot be shortened. When an auto dialer makes a phone call, it has to go through each step just as a human does. It can dial the number much faster than a human. Other than that, not much speed up can be achieved.
