Your business doesn't stop at 5 PM. Neither should your receptionist.
68% of customers who call a business outside hours and reach voicemail never call back. They Google your competitor, find someone who answers, and you've lost them — forever.
A 24/7 virtual receptionist answers every call in under 3 seconds, books appointments, answers FAQs, and routes urgent enquiries to your mobile — whether it's 2 PM on a Tuesday or 2 AM on a Sunday.
No voicemail. No hold music. No missed revenue.

What Does a 24/7 Virtual Receptionist Actually Do?
Unlike traditional answering services that take messages and promise a callback, VoiceFleet's AI virtual receptionist handles calls completely — from greeting to resolution.
During Business Hours
- Answers overflow calls when your team is busy
- Books, reschedules, and cancels appointments in real time
- Answers common questions (hours, pricing, location, services)
- Transfers complex calls to the right person with a summary
- Processes enquiries and sends confirmation texts
After Hours, Weekends & Bank Holidays
- Answers calls identically to business hours — no "sorry, we're closed"
- Books appointments directly into your calendar for the next available slot
- Triages urgent calls and routes to your on-call mobile
- Sends the caller an SMS confirmation instantly
- Logs all calls for your team to review in the morning

How It Works — 3 Steps
1. Set Up Your AI Receptionist (30 minutes)
Tell VoiceFleet about your business: services, opening hours, appointment types, pricing, common questions. The AI learns your business in minutes, not weeks.
2. Connect Your Tools
Integrate with your existing calendar and booking system:
- Dental: Dentally, Curve, Eaglesoft, Open Dental
- Restaurants: Flipdish, ResDiary, OpenTable
- Veterinary: Veterinary Vision, RxWorks, Merlin
- Physio: Cliniko, Jane App, Nookal
- General: Google Calendar, Outlook, Cal.com
3. Forward Your Calls
Route calls to VoiceFleet — all calls, overflow only, or after-hours only. You control exactly when the AI picks up.
That's it. Most businesses are live within an hour.

FAQ
Q: Is a 24/7 virtual receptionist the same as a chatbot? A: No. VoiceFleet is a voice AI — it answers actual phone calls with natural speech. Callers speak normally, and the AI responds in real time. No button pressing, no "say 1 for appointments."
Q: Can I use it only for after-hours calls? A: Absolutely. Many clients start with after-hours and overflow only. You set the rules — VoiceFleet follows them.
Q: What happens if the AI can't handle a call? A: It transfers to your designated number (mobile, landline, or another team member) with a brief summary of what the caller needs. If nobody's available, it takes a detailed message and sends it via SMS and email.
Q: How does it sound? Is it obviously a robot? A: VoiceFleet uses natural, conversational AI voices — including Irish-accented options. Most callers comment that it sounds professional and human-like. Hear a demo →
Q: Do I need to change my phone number? A: No. You keep your existing number. Calls are forwarded to VoiceFleet via your phone provider — a simple setting change that takes 5 minutes.
Q: Can it handle multiple calls at once? A: Yes — unlimited simultaneous calls. Unlike a human receptionist who can only take one call at a time, VoiceFleet handles your entire call volume simultaneously. No engaged tones, no hold queues.
Q: What languages does it support? A: English (Irish, UK, US accents), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more. Multi-language support is included in all plans.
