How much does it cost?
$100 a week (240 call minutes), $180 every 2 weeks (430 minutes) or $350 a month (1,000 minutes), charged automatically on the schedule you pick. No setup fee and no contract; extra minutes are $0.25 each and we tell you before you go over.
Do I need a new phone number?
No, we get one for you. Your receptionist comes with its own local phone number (your area code when available), set up by us and included in your plan. You keep your business number and forward calls to it when you're busy, after hours, or all the time.
Will callers know it's AI?
It sounds natural, and if someone asks, it tells them it's an AI assistant.
What if it doesn't know an answer?
It only uses the facts you give it. For anything else it takes a message with the caller's name, number and question, so it never makes up prices or policies.
