If you are an Administrator for the account, you may also

NOTES:
- If you want Halloo to call you, make sure that your telephone is
ready to receive incoming calls. We suggest that you use a
“land-line” telephone, preferrably not cordless, to ensure
the highest quality audio.
- This feature will use standard Halloo plan minutes, so preparing your message
in a written script may be helpful.
