Questions
Clear answers before you start.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. You can forward the calls you want answered without changing the number customers already know.
Can it answer only missed or after-hours calls?
Yes. It can serve as backup or answer every call, depending on the plan and forwarding setup.
Will it quote prices or promise emergency service?
Only if you explicitly approve those rules. Otherwise it captures the request and gives the caller the next step you choose.
Is there a long contract?
No. Plans are month to month.
