For most, yes. Live answering services charge $99 to $250 a month for 50 minutes of calls. Reception's Basic plan covers 75 minutes for $29 a month, after a 14-day free trial. It answers every call 24/7 and books the appointment during the call, so the work that used to go to voicemail gets booked.

It sounds like a real person. Reception is powered by ElevenAgents, the same tech powering millions of conversations for businesses of all sizes.
Reception can answer questions about your business, book appointments based on staff availability, reserve spaces or equipment, take messages, and provide info about your services and products.
Yes. Reception assigns you a US phone number during setup. You can forward your existing line to it or give it to customers directly. If you're based outside the US, there's some brief additional setup required to connect your phone number.
Yes. Forward your existing number to Reception with a short code from your phone carrier. Reception shows you the codes for your country. Forward only the calls you miss or can't take, so Reception covers the overflow, or forward every call. Then call your number once to check that Reception picks up. To stop, dial the code that turns forwarding off. Landlines and internet phone systems use your provider's settings instead.
Yes. Turn on Staff answers first and pick your business hours. During those hours your own phone rings first, and Reception picks up only if nobody answers within the ring time you set. After hours, Reception answers every call. Or keep your carrier in charge and forward only the calls you miss or can't take because the line is busy.
