# `bird voice settings`

## Usage

```bash
bird voice settings
```

## Description

The default inbound route answers calls for every number without a route of its own.
It is reject until you change it.

Reads return JSON. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request.
