The Temporary Coverage Problem

Short-Term Coverage Needs Are Expensive and Complicated

Your receptionist takes a two-week vacation. Do you hire a temp? Train someone? Just let calls go to voicemail? Temporary phone coverage shouldn’t be this hard. Our virtual receptionist activates instantly with zero training required.

Temp Agencies Are Expensive

Temporary receptionists cost $25-35 per hour. For a two-week vacation, that’s $2,000-$2,800 in temp costs alone, plus training and management overhead.

Training Takes Time You Don’t Have

Every new person needs training on your business, your systems, your processes. By the time they’re competent, the assignment is over.

Voicemail During Coverage Gaps

Without coverage, calls go to voicemail. Customers don’t leave messages. They call your competition. Your temporary gap creates permanent lost revenue.

What You Get

Your WhatsApp and Phone Number, Answered

One assistant, on both the lines your customers actually call you on. It holds a real conversation — no menus, no press one for sales — and it answers in whichever language your caller opens in, across dozens of them.

Your WhatsApp

WhatsApp calls land on your personal phone, usually at the worst moment. The assistant answers them on the number you already use, and WhatsApp stays on your phone. You always get first chance to pick up yourself. It keeps working when your phone is off.

Your Phone Line

Take a new number or forward the one you already use. When you can’t pick up, the assistant does — answering the question, taking the caller’s name and what they wanted, and putting it in front of you straight away. No call goes unanswered.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The things people ask before they sign up.

No. On WhatsApp it answers on the number you already use. On a phone line you can either forward the line you have or take a new number from us — whichever suits you. Your number is yours; nobody should have to reprint their signage to try something.

You scan a code once and it connects. WhatsApp stays on your phone exactly as it is, and you always get first chance to pick up yourself. It only steps in when you don’t — including when your phone is off, flat, or out of range.

Dozens — including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Malay and Tamil. Each assistant speaks one of them, fluently and with the accent you choose rather than a generic call-centre voice. If you serve more than one language, run a number for each: a Mandarin line that is properly Mandarin from the first word beats one line that guesses.

Minutes, not days. Choose a plan and your assistant is built automatically — we email you a link, you open it on a computer and scan one code to connect WhatsApp, and it starts answering. You can change what it knows and how it sounds yourself, any time, from your account.

A call report in your inbox — the caller’s name and what they wanted. You pick up the thread when you’re free instead of finding out three days later that someone rang.

If a caller asks something the assistant isn’t sure about, it takes a message with the full details so you can follow up — and on a phone line it can put them through to you instead. You stay in control: the assistant handles the routine, you handle the exceptions.

No. There’s no contract and no minimum term — you can cancel any time. If it isn’t earning its keep in your business, you shouldn’t be paying for it.
