It's a phone answering service powered by conversational AI, trained on your business. When you can't pick up — on a job, at dinner, asleep — it answers live, works through the caller's needs using your prices and service area, books them into your calendar, and texts both sides confirmation. You get a short written summary. No hardware, no app to learn.
AnswerAll costs $247/month flat on Starter plus a $247 one-time setup — roughly a tenth of a part-time receptionist in Hamilton, and it works nights, weekends, and holidays. Most owners recover the fee with a single saved emergency callout. Growth at $397/month covers teams with simultaneous call volume.
Most can't tell. The voice is natural and conversational, it never rushes, never puts anyone on hold, and it only ever quotes the services and prices you approved. If a caller asks something outside your rules, it takes a clean message instead of guessing.
For most small businesses there is no front-desk staff to replace — that's the problem. It replaces voicemail, missed calls, and you answering from a crawlspace. If you do have office staff, it covers their overflow, lunches, sick days, and every hour they're not there.
Yes. Your number never changes. One call-forwarding rule sends the calls you can't take to your AnswerAll line — after hours, or every call if you prefer. Our own line is a local 289 Hamilton number.
Under 48 hours from your setup call. We encode your services, pricing, service area, and calendar for you, then test it with you before the first real caller. The 7-day risk-free trial refunds your first month if it hasn't paid for itself.
Leave your number and we'll call you back within 24 hours.
