How it works

What happens when someone calls my business?

Every call is answered, day or night. So no customer hits voicemail and rings the next name on the list.

  1. Your call is answered

    A human-like AI voice agent picks up every call, day or night, so nobody hits voicemail.

  2. The message is taken

    Who called, why, and how to get back to them.

  3. Transferred or messaged

    With your availability on, the call can be put through to you. With it off, the AI takes the message.

  4. Emailed to you

    A summary, a full transcript and a recording of the call arrive by email.

  5. Kept in your CRM

    Every call is stored in your CRM account. So you have a record of who rang and what they needed.

You choose

How do you want your calls handled?

The AI voice agent answers every call, 24/7. Your availability setting decides what happens next.

Availability on: put through to you

When you're free to take calls, switch your availability on. The AI answers, then puts the call through to you. So urgent calls still reach you.

Availability off: message emailed

When you're busy or away, switch it off. The AI takes a message. You get a summary, transcript and recording by email.

Who it's for

Who uses a call answering service?

Anyone who loses work because they can't pick up while they're working.

Trades

You can't answer the phone up a ladder or under a sink. The customer still gets through.

Sole traders

No receptionist, no missed work. Callers get an answer, not voicemail, even at night.

Clinics and therapists

You're with a client. We take new enquiries and send them to you for after the session.

Small offices

Cover lunch, busy mornings and days out. No need to hire anyone.

Businesses with lots of calls

It answers lots of calls at once, so nobody waits on hold. Every call is picked up, and no caller gives up and rings someone else.

Businesses that get leads out of hours

Evenings, weekends, bank holidays. Calls are answered day and night, so you don't miss a single lead.

Virtual office

Can I add call answering to a virtual office?

Yes, if you want to. Add call answering to any virtual office plan for £39 a month, plus 2p per AI response. Then the Maggie O'Neill Centre looks after your address, your post and your calls. But you don't have to. Call answering works on its own, with no virtual office plan.

Virtual office plans start at £20 a month for a registered office address. The £40 Virtual Office plan adds unlimited post scanning and 2 free meeting room hours a month. Director's Cover adds £10 a month to either plan.
