After-hours
answering service.
An after-hours answering service picks up your business phone when your office is closed. Voxgard does it with AI: your business hours decide when it answers itself and when a call routes to a person, so your team keeps the phone during the day and the AI takes nights and weekends. It picks up in about 0.3 seconds, answers from your services and prices, books the next open slot into Google Calendar and texts the caller a confirmation. When a night caller asks for a person, it rings your managers in the order you set; if nobody answers, the caller hears they will be called back and your team gets a text with the number and a summary. Every call is recorded and summarized for the morning. Plans start at $249 a month, and the first five days are free, no credit card.

While you are open
Calls route to your team the way they do today, for the hours you set.

When a caller needs a person
At any hour, it rings your managers in your order, skips a phone that goes to voicemail, and texts the team if nobody answers.

It answers your business phone when your office is closed: nights, weekends and any time nobody is at the desk. Voxgard does it with AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, answers questions, books the next available slot, texts the confirmation and leaves a summary of every call for the morning.
Yes. Your business hours decide when the AI answers itself and when the call routes to a person, so your team can keep the phone during the day and the AI takes over when you close.
It captures the problem, the address and a callback number. When the caller asks for a person, it rings your managers in the order you set; if nobody picks up, the caller is told they will be called back and your team gets a text with the number and the summary. It does not wake anyone on its own judgement.
Plans are billed on minutes used. If the AI only answers when you are closed, it uses fewer minutes, and more of the month fits inside the 300 minutes included on Basic at $249.
Yes, at any hour. It detects the caller’s language from the first phrase and speaks 32 languages.
Forward your number or port it; nothing to install. Every plan starts with a free five-day pilot on your real calls, no credit card. How the pilot works.
