# `openclaw voicecall`
`voicecall` is a plugin-provided command. It only appears if the voice-call plugin is installed and enabled.
When the Gateway is running, operational commands (`call`, `start`,
`continue`, `speak`, `dtmf`, `end`, and `status`) are sent to that Gateway's
voice-call runtime. If no Gateway is reachable, they fall back to a standalone
CLI runtime.
Primary doc:
- Voice-call plugin: [Voice Call](/plugins/voice-call)
## Common commands
```bash
openclaw voicecall setup
openclaw voicecall smoke
openclaw voicecall status --json
openclaw voicecall status --call-id <id>
openclaw voicecall call --to "+15555550123" --message "Hello" --mode notify
openclaw voicecall continue --call-id <id> --message "Any questions?"
openclaw voicecall dtmf --call-id <id> --digits "ww123456#"
openclaw voicecall end --call-id <id>
```
`setup` prints human-readable readiness checks by default. Use `--json` for
scripts:
```bash
openclaw voicecall setup --json
```
`status` prints active calls as JSON by default. Pass `--call-id <id>` to inspect
one call.
For external providers (`twilio`, `telnyx`, `plivo`), setup must resolve a public
webhook URL from `publicUrl`, a tunnel, or Tailscale exposure. A loopback/private
serve fallback is rejected because carriers cannot reach it.
`smoke` runs the same readiness checks. It will not place a real phone call
unless both `--to` and `--yes` are present:
```bash
openclaw voicecall smoke --to "+15555550123" # dry run
openclaw voicecall smoke --to "+15555550123" --yes # live notify call
```
## Exposing webhooks (Tailscale)
```bash
openclaw voicecall expose --mode serve
openclaw voicecall expose --mode funnel
openclaw voicecall expose --mode off
```
Security note: only expose the webhook endpoint to networks you trust. Prefer Tailscale Serve over Funnel when possible.
