How it works

Three steps, on every call

01

Caller dials

Your number rings as normal. The caller hears the standard ring tone, they don't know anything else is happening.

02

You answer

Before the call connects, you hear a short whisper, 'Google Ads', 'Yellow Pages', 'Smart Numbers main line', whatever you've recorded.

03

Conversation begins

You're prepped. The whisper ends, the caller hears you, and you start the call in the right context.

Up to ~10 seconds per whisper - long enough to set context, short enough not to delay the call.
Pick a voice, or use your own. Choose one of our recorded voices, or record your own through the control panel. Re-record as often as you like at no extra cost.
