Questions

What is an AI answering service?

A phone line that answers your calls with software, takes a message and passes it on. On Conecto the message goes to your help desk as a ticket and to your agent as an event.

How much does an AI answering service cost?

A number costs $2.00 to $25.00 a month, quoted per number, and an answered call costs $0.25 a started minute. Filing a message as a ticket costs $0.01.

Can it answer only after hours?

Yes. The hours you set decide when the line answers. Outside them, callers hear your message and the call shows in the list as missed.

Who hosts it?

Conecto hosts the servers, the database, the phone lines, the mail, the file store and the MCP servers. Your agent only needs the address.
