A Phone System with Real People

Small businesses are always busy. When the phone rings; everyone is scrambling to pick it up. Business owners answer nearly half of these calls. Over 78% of employees polled in our 2020 Work at Home Survey said unscheduled phone calls hinder productivity and take an hour or more away from their primary job responsibilities every day.

While enterprises invest in Chat Bots and Call Centers, spending $1.3 trillion on 265 billion customer service calls each year. Human Attendant can give your customers a real human, starting at twenty-five cents per call.

The struggle.

John is a self-employed plumber. Before using Human Attendant, his phone kept ringing all day. While fixing a leaky sink, his phone would ring, and he’d hide in the hallway to pick it up quietly while scribbling notes on his pad. It was very frustrating and stressful for him, as every call not answered could be a lost job.

What is Human Attendant?

A Human Attendant is an actual human who can take calls on behalf of your business. This new Voiply service ensures that you don’t miss any customers while better managing your workflow. The Human Attendant will answer general questions about your business and schedule appointments or transfer calls to you as needed.

Why not use a custom voice IVR with chatbot?

Many businesses are turning to digital technology, such as chatbots. These technologies scale at pennies per call, but developing a conversational chatbot could set you back almost $30,000, and then take more time to tweak for it to understand the context of your business. Unless you have vast amounts of data and massive budgets, it will be challenging to create a genuinely conversational chatbot.

Human Attendant uses real people who can empathize with customers and add that personal touch, all while being knowledgeable about your business straight away. All of this comes for as little as $0.25 per call.

For plumbers like John, there is no need to excuse himself to take calls, no need to memorize important information on the go, or even having a phone that’s continually ringing. Human Attendant allows small business owners to focus on their customers.

How does Human Attendant work?

When a customer dials your business, a Human Attendant will take the call. There is always someone available during the schedule that you choose. It is up to you to configure the questions, responses, follow-up questions, appointment setting, and call transfer strategy. The Human Attendants will be talking as though they are a part of your company and will provide excellent service to your customers.

Will customers like it?

For your customers, Human Attendant is seamless while elevating the appearance of your business.

Who are Human Attendants?

They are real people with an extraordinary combination of friendliness and a passion to help small business customers with their needs. Working in their home offices from the United States and 17 other countries spanning the entire globe and helping thousands of small businesses 24/7/365.

Yes, we still have a landline telephone. Voiply has been an excellent provider for years. The system works smoothly, including voicemail. If I ever have a question they respond very quickly. I always feel that I am chatting with a real person, not some AI-generated bot. The price is very reasonable and I recommend them highly.

I had just received my new Voiply phone box. It was easy to install but I couldn't make outgoing calls. I contacted the support department and they worked until they fixed the problem. They stayed in contact via email until they had it resolved. The technician was polite and I really appreciated their communication and followup to make sure it was working on my end.

Hey guys, Voiply? Who, What Never heard of this company but I’m glad I ran across them. Saving me money on my telephone service. Sounds mickey mouse but far from it. Quality A+ Clarity A+ Ease to hook up A+ . If you’re getting your current number ported over, and after you connected the color coded wires, only 3 no big deal and you try to make a call and can’t don’t panic and think you made a mistake by switching don’t, it only takes a few days to get it running and what’s cool it rings also on your cell phone. Never have to wait at home for an important call. I’m excited with Volply and using my telephone bill savings to super size my next McDonald’s order with the extra money I’m saving. Roger D

The transaction was simple, and the shipping was quick. (I purchased the home phone option.) It paired with a handheld cordless phone that we had with no problem. I had a question about set up, and although the phone number was not as helpful as I had hoped, the customer service via email was quick and responsive. The line works great! I am very happy so far with this decision for my family. Thank you Voiply!

I've been very happy with Voiply. I've had to use the service twice now and it has been very easy to start, stop, and then start again. The latest restart was very easy especially now that Voiply has added an AI layer to their chat and overall system. When I've needed an agent they have been available and very helpful. The porting process has been great and I feel safe and comfortable with Voiply holding a number for me.

The switch to Voiply was seamless, fast, and easy. Voiply notified our previous carrier and notified us when the phone number was switched. The start up was amazingly simple and easy. We have two phone hubs on our home phone system, with a total of eight satellite phones. The sound clarity is excellent on all eight, and the system is working flawlessly. This was a great experience, and Voiply is a real value.

I love the ease of purchase, the online dashboard is transparent about services and features, the customer service has always been topnotch, and you can't beat the price! I have the landline phone for my kids too young for cell phones and it's an added safety feature should I need to call 911 as the number is tied to my physical address. Worth every penny!
