It’s M4 6WX.
Thanks. The earliest free slot is tomorrow at 9:30am — shall I book it?

Live call

On a job. Phone rings. AnswerSmith answers.

How it works

Live in 30 seconds. No new number, no new hardware.

AnswerSmith sits quietly behind your existing phone and only steps in when you can’t answer.

  1. Step 01

    Divert your missed calls

    Dial a short code on your existing phone — **61*yournumber# — and you’re live. No new hardware, no new number. Takes 30 seconds, cancel anytime.

  2. Step 02

    AnswerSmith picks up

    It answers in your business’s name, triages emergencies from routine jobs, and checks your real diary for genuinely free slots — while you stay on the tools.

  3. Step 03

    Job booked, both sides confirmed

    The customer gets an SMS confirmation on the spot, and you get the full job details texted to you instantly. Nothing slips through.

Features

A receptionist that actually knows your business.

Not a voicemail. Not a call-answering bureau. A receptionist wired into your diary, your customers and your phone.

Real diary booking

AnswerSmith only offers slots you actually have free, so a booking on the phone is a booking in your diary — never a clash.

Remembers your customers

Returning callers are greeted by name, with their address and job history attached to every new booking automatically.

Instant SMS job alerts

The moment a job is booked or a message is taken, the details land on your phone by text. No app to check, no calls to return blind.

Emergency triage

A burst pipe is not a dripping tap. AnswerSmith asks the right questions, flags genuine emergencies and prioritises them.

Call recordings & transcripts

Every call is recorded, transcribed and logged in your dashboard, so you can hear exactly what was said before you arrive.

Daily summary

An evening text wraps up your day: every call answered, every job booked and every message taken, in one glance.

Pricing

One plan. Everything included.

Less than the profit on a single boiler call-out, every month.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need new hardware or a new number?

No. You keep your existing number and phone. Calls divert to AnswerSmith via a standard dial code on your handset — there is nothing to install and nothing to buy.

What happens when the AI can't help?

It takes a clear message — name, number and what the caller needs — and texts it to you immediately, so you can call back the moment you are free.

Will it answer every call?

Only the ones you miss. Your phone rings as normal and you answer first; AnswerSmith steps in when you can't get to it — on a ladder, under a sink, on another job.

How does it know my availability?

It works from your working hours and your live diary, so it only ever offers appointment slots that are genuinely free.

Can I cancel?

Yes — it’s monthly with no contract. And the call divert switches off with one code on your phone: ##002#.
