In this guide you'll find the step by step process to add a phone number for testing purposes inside Dapta. Phone numbers for testing won't generate any credit consumption.
You can test your Voice Agent by receiving a real phone call on your device, and these test calls do not consume any credits.
This allows you to validate your agent’s behavior safely before using it in live campaigns.
This is useful for:
Testing voice tone and clarity
Validating scripts
Reviewing conversation flow
Hearing the agent in a real call environment
What This Test Does
When you use the Test Call feature:
The agent calls your phone
The conversation runs exactly like a real outbound call
No credits are consumed
The call is labeled as a Test Call in your call logs
This makes it safe to experiment and refine your agent.
Step 1: Go to the Phone Call Tab
Open your Voice Agent
Click on the Phone Call tab
Click on Add a Test Number
Step 2: Add Your Phone Number
Enter the phone number where you want to receive the test call
Once added, the number will appear in the test number box
This is the number the agent will call.
Step 3: Start the Test Call
Click Start Phone Call.
You will receive an incoming call from the system.
Once you answer:
The AI agent will begin the conversation
The call will behave like a real outbound call
You can interact naturally with the agent
Step 4: Confirm No Credits Were Used
After ending the call:
Go to your Call Log
Find the most recent call
You will see:
It is labeled as a Test Call
It consumed 0 credits
This confirms that test calls do not affect your credit balance.
Important Notes
Test calls are only for validation
They cannot be used for bulk outreach
For real outbound calling at scale, you must set up a campaign
Key Takeaways
Test calls do not consume credits
You can test agents using your real phone
Call logs clearly label test calls
This is the safest way to validate agent behavior before going live
