Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before they switch their phone over.
Yes. The AI receptionist is free: $0, no credit card, and it does not expire. It includes one AI receptionist and one local phone number, and answering inbound calls costs nothing. You only pay if you add more numbers ($2 a month each; toll-free costs extra) or make outbound calls, which are billed by usage from prepaid credit packs starting at $100. See pricing.
There is a free plan rather than a trial, and it does not expire. You can set it up, connect a number and take real calls without paying anything or entering a credit card.
With Amernet the AI receptionist itself is free: answering inbound calls costs nothing and one local number is included. Extra local numbers are $2 a month and toll-free numbers cost extra. Outbound calling is billed by usage from prepaid credit packs, starting at $100. See pricing.

It answers on the first ring, greets callers with your business name, and answers the questions people actually ask — hours, location, services, prices. From there it can book an appointment, take a message, or transfer the call to a person. You decide which of those it is allowed to do.
Minutes, with no technical skills. Tell it your business name and hours, add your services, prices or website, pick a voice you like, and choose what it can do on a call. It starts answering as soon as a number points at it.
Yes. It checks your live calendar during the call, offers times that are genuinely open, and books the appointment while the caller is still on the phone. Both sides get the confirmation, so nobody waits on a callback to find out whether the slot was free.
Yes — multilingual out of the box, with no extra setup. It picks up the language the caller is speaking and replies in it, so you do not need a separate line or a separate receptionist for each language your customers use.
Yes. When a caller needs a human, it transfers them to you or your team. It can also announce who is calling and why before handing the call over, so whoever picks up already knows what the call is about instead of starting cold.
Yes. Every call is recorded and transcribed automatically. You can read or listen back to any conversation at any time, which makes it easy to see exactly what a caller asked for, catch anything the AI got wrong, and improve its answers.
Voicemail takes a message and hopes you call back. A traditional answering service charges per call and reads from a script. An AI receptionist answers the caller’s actual question, books the appointment on the spot, and hands you the outcome — around the clock, starting free. See the full side-by-side comparison of AI receptionists, answering services and voicemail.
Nothing changes. The AI receptionist answers a call at 2am on a holiday exactly the way it answers one at 10am on a Tuesday — no voicemail, no hold queue, no missed booking. That is usually where the calls a business never knew it was losing come from. Looking for a 24/7 virtual receptionist? That is the same job, done with AI.
