What it is

After Hours Virtual Receptionist is an AI-powered phone answering service designed for service businesses like plumbers, HVAC contractors, dental offices, and law firms. The AI receptionist, named Amelia, answers calls 24/7, automatically detects whether the caller speaks English or Spanish, qualifies leads by collecting name and details, books appointments directly onto Google or Outlook calendars, and sends confirmation texts to customers. The service includes call recordings, transcripts, and summaries in a dashboard, with a one-button retraining feature. Amelia can transfer urgent calls to the business owner's phone and screens out spam calls automatically.

Quick answers

What is an after hours answering service?

An after-hours answering service answers your business phone during nights, weekends, and lunch rushes when you cannot. After Hours Virtual Receptionist provides an AI receptionist that sounds human, answers instantly, and books appointments onto your calendar instead of just taking messages.

How is this better than a human answering service?

Traditional answering services bill by the minute and mainly take messages, requiring you to call everyone back. This AI is designed to answer immediately, handles multiple simultaneous calls, books appointments on the spot, and uses published flat-rate pricing rather than open-ended per-minute billing.

Does it speak Spanish?

Yes, automatically. Amelia detects the caller's language and holds the entire call in English or Spanish without requiring phone menus or transfers.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, there is a 14-day free trial with 30 minutes of talk time included. You can cancel in one click before the trial ends. After that, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee: if not satisfied during the first 30 paid days, you receive a full refund.

What does an after hours answering service cost?

Many human answering services bill by the minute, so the monthly cost depends heavily on your call volume, and busy months cost more. Our AI has published plan pricing starting at $99/month at the founding rate, with 250 minutes included and transparent overage pricing.
