Your Receptionist ALWAYS answers the phone – day and night
While you're out on jobs, enjoying the weekend, asleep or on holiday, Your Receptionist answers the phone for you. You lose fewer customers – without having to be on call around the clock.
The caller moves on to the next business that answers instead of waiting for a call back.
If you don't answer on the first try, the job often goes to the next company on the list.

It's probably not what you think
Most businesses we speak to have one or more of these thoughts the first time they hear about an AI receptionist. Here are the short answers.
How to get started
No technical setup on your side and no long contracts to read through.
Call or book a session
We have a quick chat about your day-to-day work, typical calls and when the phone is busiest.
Your number is set up instantly
You get your own phone number that you forward calls to whenever you like. Your current setup isn't changed.
You get a message after every call
The summary and transcript land with you, so you can follow up when you have time and your hands are free.
No contract, no fixed subscription to cancel
You top up, like pay-as-you-go phone credit – and only pay for what you actually use.
£0.17 per talk minute + £5.70/month
Includes setup, support and customisation. No contract · top up whenever you like · no hidden fees.
Save up to ~40% vs. a receptionist's hour
Typically cheaper than traditional UK call-answering services.1
Answer the phone in your own voice
We clone your voice and accent so it sounds like you answering the phone. It's yours for good.
1 Estimate: based on the UK National Living Wage of £12.71 per hour (from April 2026, GOV.UK), plus typical employer costs (employer's National Insurance, pension contributions and holiday pay), giving a fully loaded cost of around £15–£18 per hour, compared with Your Receptionist's £0.17 per minute (£10.20 per hour of talk time). Receptionists paid above the minimum wage cost more, so the real saving varies – “~40%” is a representative figure, not a verified number from a single authoritative source. Unlike an employee, you only pay for the minutes the receptionist is actually on a call.
Questions and answers
The questions we're asked most often by businesses considering Your Receptionist.
How quickly can I get started?
Order today and Your Receptionist is available for your business instantly. You get your own number or call forwarding from your existing number, and we tailor the answers and knowledge to your business.
Can my customers tell it's an AI answering?
Your Receptionist speaks natural English and holds a normal conversation instead of a press-1 menu. In line with the EU AI Act, Your Receptionist clearly tells the caller that the call is being answered by an AI assistant.
Can Your Receptionist book appointments straight into my calendar?
Yes. Your Receptionist checks your calendar in real time and books the appointment directly, based on the rules you set – e.g. only at certain times or no sooner than a couple of days ahead. You're notified in writing or by voice as soon as an appointment is booked.
What happens if the call is too urgent or complicated?
Your Receptionist asks follow-up questions to assess the situation. For urgent or complex calls it can pass the message on to you straight away, or transfer the call, depending on how you want it set up.
Does it work outside normal opening hours, at weekends and on bank holidays?
Yes, Your Receptionist answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – including when you're off, asleep or on holiday.
Do I keep my current phone number?
Yes. Your customers still call the number they know. We set up call forwarding so Your Receptionist only takes over when you can't answer in time.
Can I decide what Your Receptionist says and knows?
Yes. You decide what knowledge about your business, your prices and your services Your Receptionist has access to, and we tailor the tone and answers with you when you start.
Can Your Receptionist speak in my own voice and accent?
Yes, as an add-on. We clone your voice and accent for a one-off fee of £23, so it sounds like you answering the phone. It's yours for good.
Is my customers' data safe?
Yes. Call data is handled confidentially and in line with applicable UK and European law, including GDPR.
How much does Your Receptionist cost?
£0.17 per talk minute plus a £5.70 monthly subscription, including setup, support and customisation. No contract – you pay in advance, like pay-as-you-go phone credit, and simply top up as needed.

No contract · No setup costs · Pay only for what you use
Stop sending customers to “press 1 for sales, 2 for …”
Many departments mean many places a call can go wrong – a long phone menu, a temp who isn't allowed to give more information, or a reception that closes at 2pm. Your Receptionist listens to what the customer actually needs and transfers them straight away.
- ✓ No phone menu – the customer speaks freely and is put through to the right department
- ✓ Complaints and returns are logged and passed on straight away
- ✓ Always answers – even after 2pm, at weekends and in several languages

How it works in practice
Example situations showing how tradespeople and businesses use Your Receptionist to take calls while they're out on jobs.
"We were constantly missing calls when we were under a bathroom with the pipes open. Now the customer is looked after, and I see the booking when my hands are free."
"As an electrician I'm often up in a fuse box and can't take the phone. Now customers call in, and I get a clear message straight afterwards."
"We get urgent calls at all hours. It's good to know they're picked up, even late in the evening when we'd otherwise not answer."
"Water damage doesn't wait for office hours. It makes a big difference that customers can always get through, whenever the damage happens."
"Our patients often call to move appointments in the middle of the day. Now they're greeted by a friendly voice straight away instead of hanging up."
"It took me 20 minutes to set up, and straight away more enquiries were saved that I'd otherwise have lost while I was out with customers."
"A good solution for us as a small electrical firm. We can't afford a full-time call handler, but we don't lose calls while we're out working for customers either."
"Customers don't even notice it isn't a member of staff answering. They're given a time for a call back, and we ring them when we have time."
