After-hours calls are your highest-value calls
An after-hours emergency caller isn't price shopping — they need someone now, and they hire the first business that answers. Voicemail loses that job 80% of the time. Wotel picks up instantly at any hour, reassures the caller, captures the address first (so a crew can roll even if the call drops), and either books the first morning slot or transfers to your on-call tech, by your rules.
You wake up to a dashboard of answered calls, booked jobs, transcripts and summaries — instead of a voicemail box of missed revenue.
Don't take our word for it — call it
Pick your trade, dial the number, and talk to Wotel like a real customer. The moment you hang up, see exactly what it captured — name, job, address, urgency, booking and SMS.

FAQ
Answers before you ask
How does Wotel handle after-hours emergencies?
It detects emergency language (sewage backup, active leak, gas smell, no heat), reassures the caller, captures the service address immediately, and follows your rule: transfer to the on-call phone or book the first available emergency slot.
Can it use different rules after hours?
Yes — you set your business hours and after-hours behavior (book, take a message, or transfer). Multi-location businesses can set per-branch hours.
Will I know what happened overnight?
Every call produces a transcript, a summary, an SMS alert for urgent ones, and an email when a job is booked. Nothing waits until you check voicemail.
Do I need separate daytime and nighttime services?
No — Wotel answers 24/7 with one setup and one price. After-hours is included, not an add-on.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. Forward your existing business line to Wotel in minutes, or port it over fully — we walk you through it during onboarding.
Does it transfer urgent calls to a human?
You set the rules. Wotel detects emergencies and can transfer the caller straight to you or your on-call tech, while still capturing the address and details first.
