CallDozer

Home-service businesses · every US state

An AI receptionist on your business phone.

It answers the call you did not pick up: asks what happened, quotes from your price list and books the visit into your calendar. The job arrives by email.

Try it

Nothing waits on us: the number is bought automatically, usually within minutes. How calls reach the line is your choice — three ways below.

How calls reach the receptionist

caller → your number → unanswered → assistant

Your own number

Set conditional forwarding from your number to the line: the calls you do not pick up go to the assistant. One code from your phone turns it on, another turns it off.

caller → new number → assistant

A new number in your adverts

Take a number from us and print it in an advert or on your site. It is dialled directly, and the assistant answers at once.

caller → new number → your phone → unanswered → assistant

A new number that rings you first

The same new number, only the carrier rings your phone first. Miss it for the number of rings you chose, and the assistant answers.

Every call is written down like this. Nothing is recorded — no audio is kept — and the text is deleted after 60 days.

What it needs from you

Your number

Keep it. You forward only the calls you already miss, with one code dialled on your own handset, and one code undoes it.

Your prices

Pick your work from a list for your trade and set your own prices. Whatever is only priced on site you leave without one: the assistant does not invent it, it says the owner will confirm and takes the details.

Your calendar

Connect Google Calendar and it stops offering times you are already busy. Optional.

What it costs

You put money on the account and calls take it. The number's rent is charged every month; the talking is by the minute.

$0.25
a minute of answered call, rounded up
$5
a month, per number on your line
$99
a month for calls and number rent, whatever happens
$20
on the balance of a new business

A new business gets $20 on its balance at sign-up. It is spent on minutes and on number rent. Registering messaging is paid from money you top up yourself: the welcome credit does not cover it.

A call under a minute counts as a minute. A call that ended during the greeting — a wrong number, a robot — is free. Past the monthly ceiling calls are still answered and cost nothing.

Common questions

What happens when somebody calls?

The assistant answers with your greeting, says it is an AI assistant, and asks what the job is. It looks the job up in your price list and says the price you set. It asks where the caller is, offers two times from your calendar, takes the name, address and number, reads them back, and books the visit.

A line set to take messages works differently: no prices, no calendar, no address. It finds out what the call is about, takes the name and when to call back, and sends that to you. The time to meet is agreed when you ring back.

The job reaches you by email when the call ends: one call, one email. If the caller hangs up halfway, you still get what was collected — a call that ended without a booking is a lead, not nothing.

Does my number stay mine?

Yes. You keep your number and set a conditional forward on it — calls you do not pick up go to the CallDozer line, calls you do pick up are yours as before. We do not port it or take it over.

Moving your number to us is the other case, and it happens only if you ask. It then sits on our account and goes with you when you leave: your new carrier files for it and we do not hold it.

The number the calls land on is rented from us. It is on our account, we pay the carrier for it every month, and it goes back when you stop using the service. That is why it is billed monthly. You can advertise it instead of forwarding — then callers reach the line directly — or keep advertising your own. Both work.

What does it cost?

$0.25 per minute of answered call, rounded up. A call shorter than a minute counts as one. A three-and-a-half minute conversation is $1.

$5 a month for each number that reaches your line.

$0.05 a minute for a call you answered yourself, on a number you set to ring your phone before the assistant. The ringing costs nothing: billing starts when you pick up.

$19.50 once, and only if you register the line to text your customers. It is a carrier fee, passed on as it is. Calls do not need it: the line answers and the job reaches you by email either way.

Whatever happens, calls and number rent cost you at most $99 in a calendar month. Past that the calls are still answered and cost nothing. The one-off registration fee is separate from that ceiling.

A call where the assistant only got as far as the greeting is free. That is a wrong number or a robot, and your ceiling should not be spent on somebody else's spam.

There is no plan to choose: the number's rent is charged every month, the talking is by the minute, and the registration fee is once and only if you ask for it. In a month with no calls the bill is the rent.
