How will my loved one know I purchased them a Storii as a gift?
Your loved one will receive an introduction/explainer call from Storii on the day you selected when you were checking out.
Here's a transcript of the automated Storii Intro/Explainer Call:
"Hello {Recipient Name}! A loved one, {Purchaser Name}, has gifted a life story phone subscription to you. This means that every week on the following days, {Call Days} you will receive a phone call from Story, asking you meaningful or fun questions about your life.
You will have up to 10 minutes to answer each question, and answers you provide may be recorded and shared with your family and future generations. Storii calls you receive may sound similar to this example:
*PLAYS CHIME* Hello {Recipient Name}! This is Storii with a new life story question! Today's question is: What was your favourite vacation as a child?
You will receive your first call on {Date}. You can also manually record a life story answer at any time by calling back this number we are calling from. We hope you enjoy using the Story service. Have a great day!"
If they do not answer, it will start to leave a voicemail. You can reschedule the call to go out again or at a later date/time. To do this:
Log into your Storii account (this happens automatically upon purchase)
Click on your loved one's profile (left side of the Home screen)
Click on Call Settings
Re-schedule the Intro/Explainer call
