Why it matters

Same call. Two very different nights.

Someone with a real problem gives one business one chance. They don't leave a voicemail.

What he does

Everything a great receptionist does, on every call

📞

Answers 24/7

First ring, nights and weekends, several calls at once. No hold music, no busy signal.

🗓️

Books the job

Into your job windows, with two-way Google Calendar sync so he never books over a busy time. Texts the caller a confirmation.

🚨

Gets emergencies to a person

Rings your on-call list in turn and tells them who's calling before they accept. If nobody picks up, keeps alerting until someone does.

💬

Texts you every call

Who, what, where, how urgent, and what he already did. One tap to call back.

🛡️

Sticks to what you’ve approved

Quotes only the prices you approve and answers only from what you've told him. Anything else becomes a callback.

⚠️

Safety first

Gas smells, carbon monoxide, downed power lines, medical emergencies: fixed safety scripts and 911 first, every time.

🇺🇸

English and Spanish

Switches language when the caller does, and you still get the summary in English.

🚫

Screens spam for free

Robocalls and sales pitches are ended politely and never use your minutes.

How it works

Live on your line in three steps

1

Paste your website

Oscar learns your hours, services, prices and service area, and picks the right pack for your trade.

2

Listen and tweak

Hear him take practice calls, including the hard ones. Change a price, a question or the greeting in a couple of minutes.

3

Forward the calls you miss

Keep your number. Your phones still ring first, and Oscar answers when nobody else can.

Choose when he answers: After hours onlyMissed calls + after hoursEvery call
The honest comparison

Right now you've got three bad options

🧰

Answer every call yourself

From a ladder, a crawlspace or a client meeting, while the person in front of you waits.

📼

Let it go to voicemail

Most people with an urgent problem don't leave a message. They call the next business.

☎️

Pay an answering service

Often around $2 a minute to read a script and take a message. They can't book a job or ring your on-call tech.

✨

Or let Oscar answer

Every call, on the first ring. He books, triages, puts urgent callers through and texts you. One saved job a month pays for him.

Pricing

Less than one missed job a month

Questions

What owners usually ask

Still unsure? Email us to arrange a setup call and we'll set Oscar up with you.

Will callers know he isn't a person?

Most won't think about it. He sounds like a friendly local receptionist and always answers as your business. If someone asks, he tells them he's your virtual receptionist. He never pretends otherwise.

What if he doesn't know the answer?

He doesn't guess. He only quotes prices from your list and only answers from what you've told him. Anything else becomes a message with a callback promise, at the top of your inbox.

What about real emergencies?

He gives the safety advice first, then rings your on-call person and tells them who's calling before they accept. If nobody answers, you get an urgent text and an alert call, and the caller is told when to expect a callback.

Do I have to change my number or phone system?

No. You forward the calls you can't pick up, which is a two-minute setting with your carrier. Turn it off any time and every call goes back to ringing only you.

Does it work for my kind of business?

If your callers want to book, get a price, report a problem or reach someone urgently, yes. We have ready-made setups for plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, contractors, restoration, cleaning, property management and more, and a general pack for everyone else.

Can my team use it too?

Yes. Invite your office manager and techs, choose who gets which alerts by text, email, push or a phone call, and set quiet hours so nobody is texted about invoices at 2 AM.

Do spam calls cost me anything?

No. Robocalls and sales pitches are screened out and never counted against your minutes.

What happens if I go over my minutes?

By default Oscar keeps answering, and each minute over your plan costs $0.20. We text you at 80% of your minutes so you can move up a plan first. Rather not pay for extra minutes? Turn off Keep answering if I go over in Billing, and once your minutes are used, calls ring your own phone instead.
