Never lose another emergency. CallsAround is the phone line that never sleeps — an AI receptionist that answers every call and books the work, plus a dispatch engine that rings your on-call chain until a real human picks up. [Book a Demo](/callsaround/contact)[View Pricing](/callsaround/pricing) Your own local number · no contracts · configured from a dashboard, not a consultant 24/7 Every call answered ~2 sec To detect and skip a voicemail < 10 min To route around an upstream outage 100% Of calls logged with transcript & recording ## Built like infrastructure, not a chatbot An answering service is only worth it if the emergency actually reaches a human. CallsAround owns the whole handoff — from first ring to bridged call — and forwards at the carrier if anything fails. ### 24/7 AI Receptionist A natural-voice agent answers every call on your own local or toll-free number — qualifies leads, answers business FAQs, and takes messages around the clock. ### Emergency Dispatch Real emergencies ring your on-call chain in order, with retries and per-contact timeouts, until an actual human picks up. No emergency ever goes to voicemail. ### Voicemail Detection Answering machines are detected in about two seconds and skipped — the chain never "succeeds" by leaving a voicemail. ### Warm Transfers The reached tech hears who is calling and why, and confirms with a keypress before being bridged. No cold handoffs, no "who is this?" ### Carrier-Level Failover If the entire AI stack goes down, a canary flips your number to plain carrier forwarding at the phone network — so dead air is structurally impossible. ### Calendar Booking Connect Google Calendar, offer real open slots mid-call, and send confirmations from your own business email. ### Recordings & Transcripts Every call is logged with an in-dashboard audio player, speaker-turn transcript, disposition, cost, and the full escalation timeline. ### SMS Alerts & Blasts SMS at every escalation step, and a team-wide blast with the caller's number if a chain is exhausted without a human. ### API & Webhooks An API-first platform — lines, chains, calls, usage, and signed outbound webhooks let your field-service software integrate directly. ## Live in an afternoon Four steps from sign-up to a phone line that never sleeps — no consultant required. 1 ### Pick a number & template Search live local or toll-free inventory, or port yours. Choose an industry template so the agent already knows your business. 2 ### Shape your agent Name it, pick its voice, write the greeting, load FAQs and hours — then test it by chat or have it call you. 3 ### Build your on-call chain Who rings first at 2 AM? Who is next after 25 seconds? Where do calls land if nobody answers? You decide. 4 ### Go live Invite your team and your line is live — most businesses the same afternoon. Tuned for the trades ## Built for home-service businesses Every industry template ships with a tuned greeting, business facts, and escalation phrases — so the agent sounds like it works there on day one. ### Restoration & Mitigation Water, fire, and mold. Floods and fires don't book appointments — capture the emergency and get a human on the line. ### HVAC & Plumbing A no-heat call in January is revenue and reputation. Answer it, qualify it, and dispatch it — day or night. ### Cleaning & Field Services Quotes, reschedules, and gate codes handled automatically, so your team stays on the job instead of the phone.
