Get a phone call when Claude Code needs you.
Pushary sends Claude Code's question to your phone. Miss it for 2 minutes and Pushary calls you. Say yes on the call and Claude Code keeps going. Beta: numbers in Germany, calls in English, for 11 agents (listed below). Only when you miss the push, only in hours you pick.
Updated
Beta limits
- Calls reach numbers in Germany.
- Calls work for 11 agents (listed below) today.
- Codex rings after 1 minute while "Call sooner when an agent waits less" is on, the default.
- Gemini CLI rings after 1 minute while "Call sooner when an agent waits less" is on, the default.
- Calls are in English.
Ask, wait, escalate, record
That is the whole loop. The call is step three, and it only happens when the push did not reach you.
1. Ask
Claude Code sends its request to your phone. The push says what it wants to do and in which project, so you know which agent needs you.
2. Wait
Claude Code waits for your answer. Silence is never a yes, unless you chose auto-approve as a rule's timeout action. If nobody answers, your policy decides, the same as without calls.
3. Escalate
If you have not answered after 2 minutes, Pushary calls you. You can set Call after to 1, 2, or 3 minutes. Only inside your calling hours, at most 5 calls in 24 hours, and never once the request is answered.
4. Record
Your answer goes back to Claude Code and into your activity record, marked "by phone call". Each call is listed in Settings under Call history.
Works however Claude Code signs in
Pushary hears about a waiting approval through Claude Code's own hooks. So the call works with a claude.ai account, an API key, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud or Microsoft Foundry.
Claude Code waits for an approval long enough for every Call after choice, so 1, 2, or 3 minutes all work.
Claude Code Remote Control sends pushes to the Claude app, but it never calls you, and it needs a claude.ai sign-in.
What the call says
These lines come from the script Pushary's calls use, with Claude Code's name filled in. Calls are in English during the beta.
- Pushary
Hi Sam, it's Pushary. Claude Code needs your OK in checkout. It wants to run git push origin main, and it's been waiting 2 minutes. Should it go ahead?
- You
Yes, go ahead.
- Pushary
Just to be sure, you want to approve this, so Claude Code will run git push origin main?
- You
Yes.
Okay, Claude Code will go ahead.
- Pushary
Hi Sam, it's Pushary. Claude Code has a question for you in checkout. It's asking: Where should the new migration run first? Staging or Production?
- You
Staging
- Pushary
Just to be sure, your answer is: Staging. Is that right?
- You
Yes.
Got it, I've passed that on to Claude Code.
A call ends on its own after about 85 seconds.
When it calls, and when it does not
Pushary calls only when all of this is true
- Claude Code is waiting on a request you have not answered on your phone.
- Call after has passed: 2 minutes, or the 1, 2, or 3 minutes you pick.
- It is inside your calling hours: 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM in your time zone, every day, unless you pick Weekdays only. A request that comes in outside them gets its call when your calling hours start, if it is still waiting then. Claude Code waits at most about 590 seconds, so that only happens when your hours start within that time.
- You have had fewer calls in the last 24 hours than your limit: 5 by default, up to 10.
- Your workspace has call minutes left.
It does not call when
- The request is already answered.
- The request stops waiting before your calling hours start. The push still arrives, but your phone does not ring.
- Claude Code would stop waiting before the call could end.
- Calls are off, or your number is not confirmed with a test call yet.
- The request asks several questions at once.
- You reached your call limit for the last 24 hours, or your workspace ran out of minutes. Push notifications keep working.
Before a yes counts, Pushary reads the step back and asks again. A step that cannot be undone is called out first.
If a Pushary call to you is already running, Pushary tries again after 3 minutes, up to 3 times, while the request still waits.
Some requests can only be approved in the Pushary app. On those, the call can still say no or tell the agent what to do instead.
Miss the call too and nothing is approved, unless you chose auto-approve as a rule's timeout action. The request waits in the Pushary app.

- Today Pushary calls numbers in Germany. App-based callers ring their own app, so they work in any country, and a Twilio or Telnyx setup reaches any number your account covers.
- Pushary calls for 11 agents (listed below) today. Most call tools are MCP servers, so they work with any MCP client.
- Paigy and Twring are free right now, agentring Pro is $12 for 100 minutes, and ntfy's paid plans cost less per call. What Pushary charges for is no setup, the push first and the call only on a miss, the limits, and the record.
- Calls are in English only.

Questions about Claude Code phone calls
Can Claude Code call me on the phone?
Not by itself. Claude Code has no phone calls of its own, and Remote Control only pushes to the Claude app. With Pushary, Claude Code's approvals and questions reach your phone, and if you miss one for 2 minutes, Pushary calls you. Beta: numbers in Germany, calls in English.
Which countries can Pushary call?
During the beta Pushary calls numbers in Germany, and it refuses service numbers such as 0800 or 0900. More countries are next. Push approvals work in every country.
Will Pushary call me for every prompt?
No. It calls only when a request is still unanswered after Call after, only inside your calling hours, at most 5 times in 24 hours unless you change it, and never once you have answered. Everything else stays a push notification.
Can I approve the request on the phone call?
Yes. Say yes, Pushary reads the step back, and your second yes approves it. You can also say no, or tell Claude Code what to do instead. A few requests can only be approved in the Pushary app; on those the call can still say no or pass on an instruction.
Can Codex call me too?
Yes, in the same beta. Codex stops waiting sooner than Claude Code, so Pushary calls about Codex after 1 minute by default. The Codex phone call page has the details.
Can ChatGPT call me?
ChatGPT itself does not place calls, and 1-800-ChatGPT is a number you call. When ChatGPT asks you a question through Pushary and you miss the push, Pushary calls you about it.
