How do broadband and DTH providers use voice broadcast?

Broadband, cable and DTH operators use voice broadcast to call subscribers a few days before a plan or recharge expires, alert everyone on an affected node or area about planned maintenance and restoration, confirm technician visits, and collect quick keypress feedback after a complaint is closed. It reaches older subscribers and landlines who rarely read SMS.

Questions about voice broadcast for broadband, ISP and DTH providers

Can we call all subscribers in one area about an outage?

Yes. Upload the subscribers connected to that node, building or PIN code, or filter them in your billing system and send the list through the API. Everyone hears the same recorded or text-to-speech notice, and the report shows who answered.

Do outage alerts need a promotional number?

No. An alert about maintenance or restoration sent to your own subscribers is a service message, so it uses the service number series under TRAI's numbering rules and is not blocked by DND. Keep it free of offers, or it becomes promotional.

Can a subscriber recharge during the voice call?

Not within a broadcast call itself, since listeners can only press keys. Pressing 1 can trigger an SMS or WhatsApp message with your payment link, sent from your system when it receives the ivr.input webhook. For spoken help with plans, use MsgClub AI Voice.

Which language should DTH recharge calls use?

Use the language your subscribers speak at home. Hindi and English are available for text-to-speech, and you can upload recordings in any regional language. Operators covering several states often split the list by circle and send each part its own version.

How do we stop calling subscribers who already renewed?

Send reminders from a fresh list each day, or trigger calls through the API from your billing system, so renewed accounts drop off automatically. A press 1 for already renewed on the first call also tells you whose payment has not synced yet.

Can we survey customers after a complaint is resolved?

Yes. A short keypress survey after ticket closure asks the subscriber to press 1 if the problem is fixed or 2 if it is not. Pressing 2 can reopen the ticket through a webhook, so unresolved faults are not marked closed.
