Spam Blocked, Free!

The link in the text

Who, what, how urgent, and two buttons.

Every text has a link to the rest of the call. Open it and you can say yes or no right there. The words are big enough to read fast, and the buttons are big enough to hit while you are working.

You have about 30 seconds to take it or ignore it.

The caller is never told they were turned down. The assistant closes the call for you, so ignoring a text and staying on your work is a perfectly good answer.

You tapWhat the caller gets
Yes, ConnectYour phone rings, you are talking to them
Not NowThe business is tied up right now, but we've sent the details to the on-call person and we'll get back to you asap.
NeitherWord for word the same message. The caller cannot tell.

Do not like links? Reply Y or N to the text instead. Both work, always.

Spam filtering

Screened before your phone rings.

Every call is checked against a reputation list before your assistant ever picks up. A screened call never reaches you and never costs you a call on your plan. Mark the ones that get through and they are credited back, and the list gets smarter for everyone as more businesses do it.

How it's filtered

Afterwards

The same link, now the record.

Once the call is done, that page becomes the call: what they wanted, what was said, and the recording. It stays 30 days on the smallest plan and for good on the largest.

How long each plan keeps it

After hours

Sleep through the quote requests. Wake for the emergencies.

It answers all night. You decide what wakes you: everything, urgent only, or nothing. Whichever you pick, a summary of the night arrives when your business day starts.

If you have a crew

One person is on call. The whole crew sees every call.

Every call lands in one shared log, and anyone can take one. Their name goes on it, so the next person can see it is handled.

  • Change the on-call person in seconds
  • Go quiet any time and it still answers
  • Nobody rings the same customer twice
  • Share any call with a link, no account needed

If you change your mind

There is nothing to undo.

Leave whenever you like. We sit in front of your phone, never in place of it. If you forward your number, it stays with your carrier the whole time: leaving is turning forwarding off on your own phone, and calls ring you straight again, like they always did. If you moved your number to us, it is still yours, and it goes with you at no charge.

What happens to your number

Questions

What owners ask before they hand over the phone.

The assistant says the call is recorded in its opening line, on every call, in both languages. That meets the requirements for states where it is law.

Let us answer.

Your own business number, each call summarized and texted to you. Cancel anytime.
