The workshop phone stops going to voicemail.

She says she is an assistant if she is asked, and she never pretends otherwise. Every call opens by telling the caller it is recorded - that line is part of the greeting and cannot be removed. Most callers just want their MOT booking and a straight answer.

You give her your website address. She reads it - your services, your prices, your areas, your hours - and shows you a draft of what she learned. You correct anything that is wrong and approve it. If you have no website, she asks you about ten multiple-choice questions instead.

She says so. 'I'll get Dave to confirm that for you' - then she takes the caller's details and drafts you an email reply to approve. She does not guess at a price, ever. Inventing a number is the one thing we treat as a failure.

Your calls forward to your mobile, exactly as they did before Callso, and you get the missed-call text as normal. The number is yours and the fallback lives at the phone network, not in our software - so if we break, the phone still rings. Nobody ever gets dead air.

No. You keep your number and divert calls to the one we give you - all calls, or only when you are busy or closed, whichever you pick. It is a short code you dial once on your own phone, and we show you the exact one for EE, O2, Vodafone or Three.

Yes, on Book and Team. She connects to Google Calendar or Outlook, reads your real availability - your hours, your holidays, your existing appointments, the buffer you want between jobs - and writes the booking to both your diary and your calendar.

She reads the date, time and job back to the caller and waits for a yes before she writes anything. On top of that, every booking lands in your approvals inbox for a tap, until you tell her she can go ahead without asking.

About twenty minutes, most of it you reading what she has learned about your business and correcting the bits she got wrong. The number, the diversion and the calendar are a few minutes each.
