About our explainer visuals

01

Included

The receptionist handles routine incoming questions and message capture for one inbound number, workflow, and location. It uses 30 approved FAQs and one summary destination. The monthly allowance is 200 connected AI minutes, with a ten-minute maximum call. There is no live transfer initially; an agreed handoff to a staffed recipient is required.

02

Not included

The price does not include outbound recovery, bookings, quotes, emergency judgment, payments, or porting without a separate order. We do not guarantee 24/7 human callbacks.

03

Price and terms

This service requires qualification and an accepted order. Customer-specific checks must be complete before activation; provider costs and limits are disclosed in the accepted order.

04

Customer responsibilities

Provide the approved facts, source material, assets, access when needed, and one named approver.

05

How delivery works

We configure the approved greeting, disclosure, answers, and message destination. We complete the controlled call and fallback checks, then enable the approved inbound service and record usage and handoff receipts.

06

Third-party setup

We confirm your customer-specific inbound number or forwarding route, approved greeting and disclosure, routine answers, usage cap, retention choices, and handoff to a staffed recipient before activation. Controlled call, usage, fallback, and recovery checks are required; the existing Cinderbrook public phone channel is separate from your service.

07

Cancellation and closeout

Send written cancellation to the contact named in your order before the next renewal. We confirm receipt and the effective date. At the accepted effective date, we stop future work, reconcile charges, hand over approved work and open issues, and remove delegated access as authorized. We do not delete customer accounts. We reconcile usage and close the agreed routes with the service-specific handoff.

Straightforward answers

Before you choose.

What does the AI phone receptionist handle?

It answers routine incoming questions and captures messages for one inbound number, workflow and location, using 30 approved FAQs and one summary destination. It is a phone service, separate from the website text and browser-voice assistant.

What is the price and included call allowance?

The price is $899 setup plus $849/month, including 200 connected AI minutes and a ten-minute maximum call. The listed $0.15/minute overage is provisional; applicable provider costs, limits and charges must be confirmed in the accepted order.

Can we use our existing business number?

We check a customer-specific inbound number or forwarding route before activation. Number compatibility is not assumed, and porting is excluded without a separate order. You keep control of your own accounts and approved routing.

What happens when a caller needs a person?

There is no live transfer initially. We agree a handoff to a staffed recipient for messages and situations outside the approved routine answers. The service does not guarantee 24/7 human callbacks or make emergency judgments.

Can it book appointments, give quotes or take payments?

Those functions are excluded from the current scope. The service answers approved routine questions and captures messages; it does not confirm bookings, create binding quotes, process payments or provide professional advice.

Does it also send missed-call texts or run our website chat?

No. Missed-Call Recovery and Website Assistant are separate scopes. Recovery is a companion service or part of Response & Recovery, with its own permissions and limits. Buying phone answering does not automatically activate either service.

What is needed before activation?

We agree your greeting and disclosure, approved answers, number or forwarding route, usage cap, retention choices and staffed recipient. Customer-specific controlled call, fallback and recovery checks are completed before the approved inbound service is enabled.
