Voicemail is a dead-end. Most customers hang up as soon as they hear the beep, and the ones who do leave a message ramble past the useful bit or forget to leave a callback number. Franki is a real conversation: she greets the caller in your business's name, answers what she can, asks the follow-up questions a receptionist would, and packages the whole thing as a tidy SMS to you. It's voicemail your customers will actually complete, plus a receptionist doing the triage.
No. Your customers keep dialling the number they already know. You set your carrier to forward-when-busy or forward-on-no-answer to a dedicated Franki number. Every UK mobile network supports this, it's a five-minute setup, no phone system to replace.
Within a minute of the caller hanging up. SMS to your mobile with the caller's name, phone, what they wanted, and any dates or specifics they mentioned. Ready to call back at your first free moment.
Never. Franki identifies herself as an AI assistant on first pickup, on every call. That protects your reputation and it's what the ICO expects.
£10 a month. Includes a dedicated UK number, unlimited calls, and an SMS summary to you after every call. Cancel any time from your account.
