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.

How to get started?

Make sure you sign up for Voiply Business Service. Customers can access a Human Attendant inside their Voiply Portal under Call Scenarios options. Voiply provides templates for most business categories so it’s easy to get started and personalize it for your organization. Budgets can be managed on both a per call and weekly basis. There is no minimum monthly commitment and Human Attendant is free for your first 10 calls.

What Real People Say About Us?

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

I learned voiply from a chatbot recommendation when looking for a cheap solution to park my old number. the customer support team is very helpful! After port the number over, I originally have difficulty to setup the voicemail and the SMS to Email didn't work. The team followed up with my case responsively. They tried several times and eventually made both work, without me fiddling with the settings I can find on the website. so far everything works as I expected and the SMS to Email super fast once it works! it's like I still using the number on my phone now!

We switched to Voiply 2 years ago after experiencing bad service with our land line company. The customer service has been excellent. I reached out with some questions and they responded within 2 business days. I appreciate their customer care!

I spent nearly a year to find a decent service to transfer my Skype number. After much research I found VIOPLY and decided to port and park the number for the time being. The price is extremely good, settings are simple, porting is well supported. The AI assistant is quite useful and will transfer you to human support quickly when needed. Human support options offer chat, email, and phone so it is extremely convenient, and the chat support I received was excellent. My skype number porting is still in process but assuming all goes well this is a very useful and economical service with a variety of free and add-on services easy to choose from. Highly recommend. Quick update, my port completed after a second day with some quick support. Very pleased I can cost effectively keep my long-time Skype number.

Voiply is amazing. I got this for my mom, and she has had it for over a year and a half with very few issues. When we have had to call customer service, they have been very helpful and quick to help with the issue.

I am using the app-based service which is more than sufficient for my sole proprietorship. It is a better price fit for me than Oomla, Grasshopper, and RingCentral. Works well with my Android and my wife's iPhone (she's my secretary). I highly recommend this service for your business line needs.

I changed internet providers to T-MOBILE and was sent a 5G Gateway router. I read that there were issues because it has to be configured to Voiply.On two occasions I could not receive or call out with Voiply and had to use my cell phone. I contacted customer service and they fixed the issue and told me what to do if it happens again on my end and if that doesn't work call customer support. They were easy to work with for someone that's a senior and not computer savvy.

i decided to replace my land line and purchased a VoIP system from Voiply. I paid for one year and received two months free. This saved me 165.00 over my old plan. I received everything needed in a few days and the installation was simple. I have been using the system for a few weeks now with no issues.Glad i made the change.

Voiply is great. Probably the best telephone VoIP service in the business. All phones are being forced to go Voice over IP. We were with Windstream/ Kinetic/ and whatever company they just merged with. Voiply’s cost and superior customer service kicks the mess out of our previous carrier. Check out the cost and you might just be their next customer.
