A CONVERSATION THAT GETS SOMEWHERE

More than
“leave a message.”

A caller doesn’t always need you. Often, they need an answer, an appointment or the right next step.

01

Answer the question tonight.

Service areas. Opening hours. Prices you’ve supplied. Infercall uses your business information to help callers understand what you offer, while asking the questions that matter to the enquiry.

How business knowledge works
02

Put the appointment in the diary.

A customer ready to book shouldn’t need another conversation tomorrow. With a supported booking connection, Infercall can turn the call into an appointment.

Google Calendar creates appointments; Calendly supplies a booking link. Check your system’s supported actions.

03

Closed means a different response.

Set your opening hours and choose message-taking after closing. Instead of offering to reach a person, Infercall captures the caller’s details and what they need changed, checked or arranged. The enquiry moves forward without interrupting your evening.

WHEN YOU COME BACK

Take the calls back.
Or not.

Turn off all-call forwarding when you want your phone to ring again. Or leave Infercall answering while you get on with the day. Review the evening’s summaries, transcripts and recordings either way.

Prefer ongoing overflow? Forward busy or unanswered calls instead. That covers the calls you miss throughout the day; it is a different choice from switching all calls at closing time.

For you

YOUR RULES. YOUR EVENING.

Set it up once.
Make the switch your way.

Prepare your receptionist and save your forwarding instructions. Then choose when to send calls its way.

  1. 1

    Give it your business information.

    Start with your website. Review your services, prices and policies, then add the details callers commonly ask about. Connect your booking system where needed.

  2. 2

    Set your hours and after-hours response.

    Choose message-taking after closing if you don’t want calls offered to a person. Your opening hours guide the response; your phone provider controls forwarding.

  3. 3

    Save your finish-work routine.

    On a paid plan, use your Infercall number in our forwarding tool. Save the supported on, off and check instructions for your provider. Turn forwarding on when leaving; next morning, take calls back or leave it on. Check the carrier confirmation and make a test call after each change.

IS IT THE RIGHT FIT?

For calls that can move forward.
Even when you’ve gone home.

Infercall is a fit when your business information and handling rules give callers a useful way forward: an answer, a booking, a transfer or a clear message.

If you promise a staffed human service or emergency attendance, an AI receptionist alone does not fulfil that promise. Keep the appropriate people and response arrangements in place.

BEFORE YOU SWITCH OFF

Good questions.
Clear answers.

See plans for your country
Can I keep my business number?

Yes. Forward your existing number to your Infercall number. Your phone provider controls the forwarding options, including whether scheduled, unanswered or busy-call forwarding is available. Forwarding charges may also apply.

Can I use Infercall only outside opening hours?

Yes. Turn on all-call forwarding when you finish work, then turn it off when you want to take calls again. Or leave Infercall answering during the day too. Our forwarding tool helps you prepare and save the steps for your provider. You make each switch; saving the instructions does not set a daily schedule.

Will it book appointments, or just take messages?

It can do both. Google Calendar can create an appointment during a call. Calendly gives the caller a scheduling link to finish the booking. Other connections have their own supported actions. Choose the booking route that fits your business; requests needing your team can become a structured message instead.

What changes when my business is closed?

Set your business hours and choose the after-hours response. With message-taking selected, Infercall takes the caller’s details and request instead of offering to reach a person after closing. This changes how Infercall handles a call, not when your phone provider forwards it.

What if several customers call at once?

Each Infercall number supports up to 10 simultaneous calls. Callers have separate conversations. The time used across those calls counts towards your plan’s call minutes.

How much does after-hours answering cost?

Choose your country on the pricing page to see the monthly plan, included minutes and available top-ups. A paid plan is needed to connect business calls. You can hear a website-based preview of your receptionist before connecting your number.
