Your working hours are, by definition, unanswerable hours. You are in a quiet room with oil on your hands and a client on the table, and the phone is ringing with the person who wanted next Tuesday.
These are the arithmetic of a business where working and answering cannot happen at the same time.
Every hour you earn is an hour you cannot answer a phone. There is no version of your day where you do both.
Even if you could answer, a ringing phone and a conversation destroy the experience your client is paying for.
A cancellation at 9am for a 2pm slot is recoverable, but only if somebody rings the waitlist immediately.
Do you do rebates, are you remedial, can I claim this. The same questions every day.
People book a massage in the evening, when they notice how sore they are. You are closed.
Using your own number means clients call at all hours and there is no way to switch off.
This is the call that used to ring out. Here it is answered by a VOCPhone AI phone agent, from what you told it about your practice.
A treatment room only earns when somebody is on the table. Every unanswered call is either a client who went elsewhere or a gap nobody was told about in time to refill.
Publish one number. Behind it, new bookings get taken, existing clients can always reschedule, and nothing needs you to have a free hand.
Demand for remedial work is seasonal. Cold weather stiffens people up, and the end of the year brings accumulated stress and expiring health fund limits at the same time.
An AI agent answers all of it, at any hour, without you leaving the treatment room. It books the peak and refills the gaps, which is the whole business when you charge by the hour.
VOCPhone connects to more than a thousand apps and offers open APIs, so a call arrives with a client attached to it rather than just a number.
The caller's name, their history and their open appointment appear as it rings, so you open with their name instead of asking who is calling.
Ring a client straight from your booking system without typing a number, and every call logs itself against the right file.
Recording, transcript, AI summary and next action land in your CRM. Untimed HD video for up to 30 people is included when a call needs faces.
Most providers sell you a phone system that runs on infrastructure they rent. We built ours, which changes what we can promise.
Not a reseller reselling somebody else's switch. VOCPhone owns and operates its own Australian network, which is why we can guarantee 99.99% uptime and fix things ourselves.
Inbound and outbound agents trained on your business. They answer, qualify, book and escalate, in a genuine Australian accent, at any hour.
Apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, plus certified desk and cordless handsets. Untimed HD video for up to 30 people comes with it.
Australian owned, Australian hosted, 24/7 human support, 15+ years in this market, and a price-match guarantee if you find better.
You have the most extreme version of this problem, because your working hours are physically unanswerable. Plans start at a single user and the AI agent does not need a second seat.
For most solo therapists the sum is simple: if it books one extra treatment a week you would otherwise have missed, it has paid for itself several times over.
No, and we configure it not to. It books appointments and answers practical questions about treatments, durations, prices and rebates. Anything about a specific injury or condition is left for you to assess in person.
If a caller describes something that sounds like it needs medical attention, it is scripted to suggest they see a doctor rather than to book them in.
Outbound AI agents can call your waitlist when a slot opens, which is the difference between a gap and a booking. Responses come back into your system so you know who took it.
For an hourly business this is often worth more than the new enquiries it captures.
It hands over, and you decide where. Anything about an injury, a condition, or a complaint can go to a person, a queue, or a manager's mobile.
The caller does not repeat themselves either. Whoever picks up gets the context the agent already gathered. Outside hours it takes the details, texts a confirmation and queues the callback.
Most providers resell somebody else's switch, which means when something breaks they raise a ticket with a wholesaler and wait, exactly like you would. VOCPhone built and runs its own Australian network, so we fix it ourselves.
It is also why we can put a number on uptime and offer a price match. There is no reseller margin stacked in the middle of your bill.
If you find comparable Australian business voice for less, we will match it. The terms are on our price guarantee page and we would rather you read them than take a slogan on trust.
We can do it because we are not paying a wholesaler for the underlying network.
No. Number portability is standard, including 1300 and 1800, so the number on your website, your cards and your online listings stays exactly as it is.
We port it across and plan the cutover around your hours, not ours.
Calls keep flowing. The mobile app works over 4G and 5G, so your people answer on their handsets while a site connection is down, and flows can divert to mobiles automatically.
We also supply NBN, so the connection and the phone system can come from one provider on one bill. When it is all ours, there is nobody to point at.
Book fifteen minutes. Tell us how bookings reach you today, and we will show you the version where your hands never have to leave the client.
