A dedicated personal assistant for one person, on your own mobile or landline. Forward your phone to it when you can't answer, or all the time, and it picks up: recognises returning callers, screens by importance, and texts you only the things you actually need to see. This is a PA for you personally, not a business switchboard. For a business number, see Reception.
$89/mo, flat. No setup fee and no lock-in. Includes 50 minutes a month, then 10c a minute (20c after your first 3 months), and 20 free texts a month.
Six things happen when somebody rings you, and the whole point is that only one or two of them ever reach you.
Every conversation is logged against the caller, so next time they ring it picks up where you left off instead of asking who am I speaking with again.
You say who counts as a VIP, what counts as urgent and what to ignore. It transfers, texts, books or takes a message on logic you wrote, not on generic defaults.
The calls worth interrupting you for come straight through to your mobile, with what it already knows about them attached.
Holds your schedule, books around your priorities and blocks out lunch when you tell it to.
Not John called. Who, why, when, what they want and how urgent it is, in enough detail that you can act without ringing back to ask.
It only pings you when it should, and it will hold everything else for a single digest at five if you would rather.
A personal assistant that answers everything, remembers everyone, and has the judgement to leave you alone.
Shortwave is the Personal Assistant plan: one person, one phone, one flat monthly price. You keep your number; your PA gets its own, and your mobile forwards to it whenever you want it answering.
Running a business? A business number with a receptionist is a different job on a different plan. See Reception or business pricing.
Includes 50 minutes a month, then 10c a minute (20c after your first 3 months). The first 20 texts a month are free, then 10c each. No setup fee, no lock-in.
