Why the AI belongs on the network

The call never leaves our network

VOCPhone owns and operates the network your calls travel on. The AI answers inside it, so there is no divert to another company and nobody in the middle.

Your AI and your people share one line

The agent puts callers through to a person or a queue with the context already spoken, on the same system your team answers from.

You decide which calls it takes

Point a number, a queue or a time condition at the agent. After hours and overflow go to AI, everything else rings your staff.

Every call in one place

Recordings, transcripts and summaries sit next to your team's calls in the VOCPhone apps on PC, Mac, iOS and Android.

One Australian company to call

Phones, numbers, AI and support from one Australian-owned provider with 15 years in the market and 99.99% network uptime.
