Ask us a question
Can I try it before subscribing?

Yes. Create an account, add your business details, and test your receptionist with your browser’s microphone and speakers. Choose a paid plan and a phone number when you’re ready for customer calls.

Can I keep my existing business number?

You can forward calls from your existing number to a NextVoice number. Forwarding options depend on your current phone provider. You can also use your new number directly.

What happens when a caller needs a person?

You choose a primary contact, an optional backup, and when transfers are allowed. If nobody answers, your receptionist can take a message, explain and end the call, or transfer to a configured voicemail number.

How do I control what it says?

Set the greeting, business knowledge, tone, required questions, and topics that need a human. Use browser tests to check real responses and refine the instructions before publishing. AI responses can still make mistakes, so review your tests and call history.

Does it work after hours?

Your published receptionist can answer outside your business hours. You control whether it may transfer after hours and which hours are available for appointments. Call answering requires an active plan with minutes available.

What happens if I use all my minutes?

Inbound calls pause when you reach your plan’s allowance. You can upgrade or wait for your allowance to renew. Review usage in your dashboard and manage your subscription from Settings.
