Questions people ask
What is the difference between an AI receptionist and VOCPhone?
An AI receptionist is a separate service that answers calls forwarded to it. VOCPhone is the phone system and the network, with AI Phone Agents built in, so the agent answers your own numbers and hands callers straight to your team.
Why does owning the network matter for AI?
Every extra company a call passes through is another hop and another point of failure. VOCPhone owns and operates its network, so the call, the AI and your team are all on one system with one Australian support line.
How much are VOCPhone AI Phone Agents?
From $49 a week for unlimited agents with training included, on top of your VOCPhone plan. Talk time is billed by the minute, bundles lower the rate, and there is no contract.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. We port your existing numbers across, and customers keep dialling the number they already know.
