Answers every call, day or night
It picks up on the first ring at 2am on a Sunday the same as it does on a Tuesday morning. No voicemail, no missed job.
For businesses that live on the phone
It answers the calls you miss —
and tells you what each one wanted.
A missed call is usually a customer ringing the next name on the list. 247 Reception picks up every one, day or night, books the job while they are still on the line, and puts four lines on your phone on who rang and why — before you have put the tools down.
No card required. 10 free minutes and 7 days to decide — you only pay if you keep it. Or book a slot and watch it handle an awkward caller, live.

What it actually does
Captures who called and why
Every call is recorded and transcribed, with the caller's name, number and reason pulled out and waiting for you.
Books appointments while they're on the line
It checks your Google Calendar for a free slot and books it during the call, rather than promising someone will ring back.

Not a business?
It answers your own phone too.
In a lecture, at the gym, driving, asleep. It picks up, finds out who it is and what they want, and tells you whether it needs you now or can wait until you are free — from $12 a month.
What are missed calls costing you?
Your numbers, not ours. Most trades never add this up.
Nights, weekends, on a job, already on the phone.
What a typical customer is worth to you.
Be honest — a low number still adds up.

Where the call actually goes
You keep your number. We give you a local line and you forward to it — so the calls you would have lost get answered, and the ones you take stay yours.
- Step 1
Your existing number
The one on your van and your invoices. Nothing about it changes.
- Step 2
Forwards when you miss it
Everything, or only calls you have not picked up after a few rings. One dial undoes it.
- Step 3
Answered on the first ring
24/7, including nights and weekends, however many come at once.
Then you get, on every call:
- Caller name, number and reason
- Recording and full transcript
- Appointment in your calendar
Rather see it than take our word for it? Book a live demo and the transcript of a real call is the demonstration.
Now works with JobTread
The call writes itself into the job.
If you run your jobs in JobTread, a call that only exists in our dashboard is a second place you have to look — and a second place nobody looks twice. So we put it where the rest of the job already is: on the job itself, with the transcript and the recording attached, while you are still on site.
It knows who rang
The caller ID is matched against your JobTread customers before the call is even written up — both the contacts you invited and the ones we created ourselves when they first called in.
It files on the right job
From the address the caller confirmed on the phone. If two jobs could match, it does not guess — it files on the customer's account and says why, so nobody's complaint lands on the wrong project.
A new lead gets a job opened
Somebody who has never called before gets an account, a contact, a location and a job, built from what they said. It is flagged as auto-created so you can check it before you price it.
Texts land in the same thread
An SMS is matched the same way and posted to the same record, so a customer's calls and texts read as one history instead of two systems you cross-reference by hand.
Connect it with a grant key from your JobTread settings.
No third phone number, no middleman, nothing to install on the JobTread side. Paste the key into your dashboard and the next call is already in there.
Set up in an afternoon
Point your number at it
Forward your existing business line, or use the number we provision for you. Nothing to install and no new handset.
Tell it about your business
Paste your website and it drafts what the receptionist should know — services, hours, pricing, what to say. Edit it in plain English any time.
It answers from then on
Every call gets picked up, logged and transcribed. Appointments go straight into your Google Calendar while the caller is still on the phone.

Questions people ask
What happens when someone calls?
The AI answers on the first ring, greets the caller in your business name, answers questions from the information you gave it, and takes down their name, number and reason for calling. If they want an appointment it checks your calendar and books one.
Does it sound like a robot?
It uses a natural speaking voice and handles interruptions, so callers can talk over it the way they would with a person. The honest way to judge is to ring the demo line and see what you think.
What does it cost?
For a business, plans start at $99 a month for 250 minutes of answered calls, up to $399 for 1500 minutes. If you just want your own phone answered while you are busy, the Personal plan is $12 a month for 40 minutes. Every account gets 10 free minutes and a 7-day trial, and you can cancel before it ends without being charged.
What happens if it cannot answer something?
It takes a message rather than guessing. You get the recording, a transcript and the caller details, so you can follow up knowing exactly what was asked.
Does it work with JobTread?
Yes. Every handled call is written into your JobTread account as a comment on the job, with the summary, the full transcript and the call recording attached. The caller is matched to your existing customers by their number, and the job is chosen from the address they confirmed on the call. Someone who has never called before gets an account, contact, location and job opened automatically, flagged so you can check it before you price it. Texts are matched the same way and land on the same record. You connect it with a grant key from your JobTread settings, and there is no third phone number and nothing to install.
Do I need new hardware or a new phone number?
No. It works by forwarding your existing business number, or you can use a dedicated number we set up for you. There is nothing to install.
Try it on your own phone
Point your number at it and take the next call that comes in. 10 free minutes, no card, and you can turn it off before the 7 days are up without being charged anything.
Prefer to see it first? Book a slot and we will put it through an awkward caller, live, and you can ask it anything you like.
