Calling tips

Use a stable WiFi connection or strong mobile data for clearer audio.
Charge your device before longer calls; international calling drains battery faster.
Test your speaker or headset before important calls to avoid quality surprises.
Keep a simple note of the US number format to avoid dialing errors; Sayfone handles the country code.

Business etiquette

Give 24-hour notice for scheduled business calls; time-zone differences make spontaneous meetings difficult.
Start calls with a brief time-zone acknowledgment ('I know it's early for you')—it shows respect.
Use video calls (via other platforms) when possible for relationship-building; voice-only can feel distant.
For sensitive matters, schedule calls during overlapping waking hours to allow for thoughtful follow-up.
