Use cases · After-hours calls

Answer every after-hours call.

Calls do not stop at closing time. After hours they go to voicemail, and many callers hang up rather than leave a message. By morning they have called someone else.

How Phoneman handles it

From ring to callback.

  1. 01

    A call comes in after hours

    Phoneman answers with your greeting and says it is an AI assistant.

  2. 02

    It handles what it can

    It answers the questions you have approved, such as hours, services and service area.

  3. 03

    It takes the rest

    For anything else, it takes the caller’s details and what they need.

  4. 04

    You start the day sorted

    Every call is written up and sorted, urgent ones first.

Setup tip. Forward calls only outside business hours, or set conditional forwarding so calls you do not answer go to Phoneman. Your carrier sets this up, not Phoneman. How to forward your calls

FAQ

Will callers know it is after hours?

The assistant can tell callers your hours, and takes a message for the next business day.

What about urgent calls at night?

Phoneman marks them Urgent so you see them first. It is not an emergency service.

Do I need a separate number?

No. You forward your existing number when you want Phoneman to answer.
