FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is hellou a Twilio alternative for Latin America?
Yes. hellou operates as a Twilio alternative for companies that need telephony API infrastructure in Latin America. The key difference is local context: DID numbers in 8+ LATAM countries with Caller ID registered with local carriers, active anti-spam reputation management, and Bulk SMS with regional delivery routes. hellou does not sell a US number without local registration — it provisions numbers from the recipient's country. hellou.ai is not affiliated with or endorsed by Twilio Inc.
What is a local number in LATAM and why does it matter for an AI agent?
A local number is a DID (Direct Inward Dialing) with the country or city code of the destination — for example, +57 for Colombia or +52 for Mexico. When an agent calls from a recognizable local number, the answer rate increases 2× to 4× compared to calls from unknown or international numbers. hellou provisions fixed and mobile numbers in 8+ LATAM countries via API, including mobile numbers (+57 3XX) in Colombia.
Why do my calls appear as SPAM and how does hellou solve it?
Calls are flagged as SPAM when the Caller ID is not properly registered with the destination carrier, the number has a poor reputation, or anomalous dialing patterns are detected. hellou manages numbers with verified Caller ID registered with local LATAM carriers, applies active rotation and reputation policies so the agent appears with a clean, recognizable number.
What is Bulk SMS and what use cases does it cover?
Bulk SMS is the automated sending of text messages to contact lists via API. It's used for collection reminders, appointment confirmations, delivery alerts, sales notifications, and reactivation campaigns. Unlike WhatsApp, SMS reaches any cell phone without an app or mobile data, with open rates above 90%.
In which Latin American countries does hellou's infrastructure operate?
We currently operate in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, with expanding coverage. In Colombia we have both fixed numbers (city code) and mobile numbers (+57 3XX). Exact availability by country is confirmed in the discovery call.
Do I need to be an AI agent customer to access the infrastructure?
No. The telephony infrastructure (local numbers, clean Caller ID, Bulk SMS) is available as a standalone API service for conversational AI platforms, contact centers, and tech companies that already have their own logic and need the voice layer in LATAM. It's the same infrastructure that powers hellou's Voice AI and WhatsApp AI agents.
