Emergency
Hi, my septic tank is backing up into the house. Can someone come today?
I'm sorry to hear that — I'll get you on the schedule right away. Can I confirm the property address?

More than a virtual receptionist — a full front office

Most virtual receptionist services are shared human agents reading a generic script. Wotel is trained on your business: your services, your service area, your booking rules, your call playbooks. It answers every call instantly — even three at once — and takes action instead of taking notes.

Beyond answering, Wotel runs your front office: appointment reminders, quote follow-ups, invoice reminders, and Google review requests go out automatically, so the admin work that eats your evenings just… happens.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

What does a virtual receptionist cost?

Human virtual receptionist plans run $300–1,500/month for limited minutes. Wotel starts at $149/month, answers unlimited simultaneous calls, and includes automations no human service offers.

Can it handle multiple calls at the same time?

Yes — unlimited. Saturday morning rush, storm day, big ad campaign: every caller gets answered instantly, no busy signal, no queue.

Can it transfer calls to me?

Yes. You define when — emergencies, VIP customers, anyone who asks for a person — and Wotel connects the call to your phone while capturing details first.

Does it work with my calendar?

Booked jobs sync to Google Calendar or Outlook automatically, and appear in Wotel's own calendar and job board.

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.

Never miss another customer call.

Connect your number in minutes and let Wotel answer, qualify, and book — day or night.
