Feature Deep Dive

Basic Monitoring

Basic Monitoring is an automated phone line health check system. PNM dials your phone numbers at regular intervals — as frequently as every few minutes — and verifies that the call is answered, the connection is established, and the line is functioning correctly.

When a failure is detected, PNM immediately sends alerts through your configured channels (email, SMS, webhook) so your team can respond before customers experience problems. Every test call is logged, giving you a complete historical record of your phone line availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does PNM test my phone numbers?

You can configure the monitoring frequency to suit your needs — from every few minutes to hourly or daily. Higher frequency monitoring provides faster failure detection.

What happens if a test call fails?

PNM applies configurable retry logic to confirm the failure before sending an alert. Once confirmed, alerts are dispatched immediately to your configured recipients.

How many phone numbers can I monitor?

Basic plans support monitoring of multiple numbers. Premium plans support larger volumes. Contact us for enterprise-scale requirements.

Does PNM monitoring affect my phone system?

Test calls are brief and indistinguishable from regular inbound calls. You can configure monitoring windows to avoid testing during peak hours if preferred.
