FAQs

How does Answering Machine learn about my business?

Answering Machine learns about your business by analyzing your website URL. You simply enter your business's website, and the AI uses that information to understand your services and answer caller questions accurately and professionally.

Do I need to change my current phone number or carrier?

No, you do not need to change your current phone number or carrier. Answering Machine provides you with a dedicated phone number to which you can forward your calls, either for all inbound calls or only when you don't answer first.

What happens if I exceed my monthly call minutes?

If you use up all your allocated live answered call minutes for the month, Answering Machine will still take a voicemail for your callers. This ensures that you don't miss any important messages, even if you've reached your minute limit.

What kind of businesses is Answering Machine best suited for?

Answering Machine is built for local service businesses that receive many phone calls. This includes industries like plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, painting, auto services, catering, and pet services, among others.
