The questions everyone asks

Is this expensive?
Per-call pricing - typically £85–£240/month for most SMEs, with month-to-month contracts and real-time spend visibility in the app. About 80% cheaper than hiring a part-time UK receptionist.
Will receptionists sound like my business?
Yes. A trained UK team answers using your script and tone.
What if calls spike unexpectedly?
Plans are month-to-month - step up to a higher tier when you’re busy, step down again when you’re not. The app shows your spend in real time, and you can adjust your forwarding rules whenever you need to.
How fast can I be set up?
Most customers go live within 24-48 hours. Forwarding rules are two-minute changes on every UK telco.
Can you book directly into my calendar?
Yes - Google, Outlook, Calendly, plus CRM bookings into Zoho, HubSpot, and Salesforce.
What about confidentiality?
Call data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access for the receptionist team. GDPR-aligned by default; UK-only storage.
