FAQ
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone like a trained front-desk employee. SkipCalls picks up every call 24/7, answers questions about your business, books appointments, takes messages, transfers urgent callers to you, and texts you a summary of each call.
What's the difference between an AI answering service and a virtual receptionist?
A traditional virtual receptionist or answering service uses remote human operators billed per minute or per call. An AI answering service like SkipCalls answers instantly with no hold time, works 24/7 with unlimited minutes, and costs a flat monthly price — a fraction of a human virtual receptionist.
What's the best AI receptionist for small business?
The best AI receptionist for a small business answers on your existing number, sounds natural, books jobs into your calendar, transfers urgent calls, and blocks spam at a flat price. SkipCalls does all of that and is built for contractors, home services, and other small businesses that run on calls.
Does SkipCalls really sound like a real person?
Yes. SkipCalls uses advanced AI voice technology, including voice cloning, so it can even sound like you. Unlike other "robotic" call answering services, your AI receptionist speaks naturally and makes customers feel like they're talking to a real assistant.
What happens if the AI can't answer a question?
If a caller asks something outside of your setup, SkipCalls politely explains that you'll get back to them. You instantly receive a notification so you can follow up directly. This way, no lead is ever lost.
How long does setup take?
Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Just forward your calls, choose your greeting, and SkipCalls is live. No extra hardware, no complicated training, and no IT required.
Can I customize what the AI says?
Yes. You can customize greetings, scripts, FAQs, and even the way your AI receptionist responds. SkipCalls adapts to your business — whether you're a handyman, electrician, plumber, real estate agent, or any small business owner.
What if I want to take a call myself?
You're always in control. SkipCalls only answers when you can't. If you want to pick up a call directly, you can — and your customers won't notice any difference.
How much does SkipCalls cost?
SkipCalls is just $19.99/month — less than a single missed call costs your business. Or save 17% with our annual plan at $199/year. One captured client call can pay for months of service. Our customers typically recover $500–$5,000 every month by avoiding missed calls.
Will my customers know it's an AI?
No. SkipCalls is designed to sound natural and professional. With voice cloning, it can even speak in your own voice, so customers never realize it's an AI.
