Summary

A community discussion post asking how people would use OpenClaw if it could make and receive real phone calls and SMS, such as handling customer support calls, waiting on hold, booking appointments, and auto-responding to texts.

Curious what people think about this. What if OpenClaw had access to a real SIM card and could make and receive regular phone calls, as well as send and receive SMS, just like a normal phone? I was thinking it could handle incoming calls, talk to callers, deal with customer support, wait on hold, book appointments, or automatically respond to text messages. I know some of this is already possible with Twilio and other VoIP services, but I'm curious if using a real mobile number would make a difference. Would you actually use something like this? What would you want your agent to handle?
