Voicemail detection (AMD)

Voicemail detection (AMD)

AMD = Answering Machine Detection

WHAT IT MEANS

Detecting whether an outbound call reached a person or a voicemail or recorded message.

Real example

The AI leaves a short message instead of talking to a recording.

What’s normal

It matters for outbound campaigns. Mistakes waste minutes and money.

The India angle

Voicemail is less common in India, but network messages like “switched off” and caller tunes confuse bots.

Questions to ask your vendor

  1. How do you handle caller tunes and network messages?

  2. What’s your detection accuracy?

  3. Am I charged for those minutes?
