Despite the fact that almost all home / landline phones have an auto redial function, the developers of the Android platform for some reason did not include such a useful feature in their operating system.
A good half of the “necessary” companies and municipal institutions do not bother installing multi-channel devices. And the higher the indicator of this need, the more difficult it is to get through to the place. Take even a simple example with clinics: registration, an appointment with specialists, a laboratory and other departments are busy around the clock, and at that end only short beeps are heard. Sometimes it seems that it is much easier to come to the place in person than to tap on the smartphone screen endlessly.
How to be
It is after such moments that the understanding comes that the automatic redial to “Android” is not just some kind of additional “trick”, but a really necessary attribute of the platform. Those users who, due to their occupation or for some other reason, need frequent calls to such “busy” institutions, the possibility of automatic redial will be a real salvation and significant relief.
This problem is quite easily solved by installing third-party applications, that is, special programs for auto redial, which work in the background in parallel with the main communication functionality. In some gadgets (about them below) this feature is provided in the stock firmware, but alas, there are a minority of these.
So, we’ll figure out how to enable automatic redial on the Android platform and which applications can help in this matter.
Features of stock firmware
Some scrupulous smartphone manufacturers still do not forget to add the ability to automatically redial to the "Android" platform in the factory firmware. First of all, this concerns the Samsung brand and its Galaxy series, where this functionality is implemented most competently.
In the menu, just select the "Phone" section, then go to the "Call settings", then "Advanced options" and tap on the checkbox with automatic redial. After that, all your unanswered calls will be redialled, and upon successful connection you will receive a notification in the previously selected form (vibro or melody).
Similar functionality is implemented in other phones of famous brands, such as Xiaomi or Lenovo, where both here and there the firmware is literally crammed with various “tricks”, including “Android” redial. But, as mentioned above, this feature is a rare guest on smartphones of other manufacturers.
3rd party applications
If your phone is not lucky to be in the list of owners of such a function, then you can install third-party applications that are no worse than stock, and somewhere even better. The main thing is to choose the right one.
One of these has the uncomplicated name "Auto Dial" (developer Water). You can download it on the same Google Play or search on specialized resources and forums. The application is free, but the free version is saddled with advertising. If the latter is very annoying, then you can turn it off by buying an extended version of the product (less than 100 rubles).
Program features
The application copes with auto-dialing as it should: periodic calls to a busy subscriber with the given parameters, a signal to the user when a connection is established and the speakerphone is turned on, as well as detailed statistics on calls and conversations.
In addition to the regular dialer to “Android”, the utility can set restrictions on the duration of the call, set the associated intervals and put the subscriber in the black list. The program has a clear and convenient interface, along with competent localization and an abundance of tips.
The rest of the competing fraternity of such applications has similar functionality, but users liked “Auto Dialer" for its simplicity, convenience and efficiency. In addition, the program is not burdened with critical deficiencies, judging by the reviews.
