FAQ
Questions, answered
How does Vanswer answer my calls?
When you can't pick up, the call diverts to Vanswer. Our AI answers in your business name, asks what the job is, where it is and how urgent it is, then passes the details to you. You can still answer any call yourself first.
Do I keep my own number?
Yes. Customers keep ringing the number they already have. Calls you don't answer are diverted to Vanswer using call forwarding, which you can switch off whenever you like.
What does the caller hear?
A friendly, natural voice that greets them in your business name and makes clear it's an assistant taking details for you. It asks a few simple questions about the job and lets them know you'll be in touch.
What happens if someone hangs up before speaking?
Vanswer sends them a text within moments, so they know their call was seen, and invites them to reply with a few details about the job.
How do the job details reach me?
A short summary goes to the Vanswer app on your phone: who called, their number, where they are, what the job is and how urgent it is. You choose when to call back.
Which trades is it for?
Any trade working alone or with 1 to 5 vans, including plumbers, heating engineers, electricians, painters and decorators, bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers.
How much does it cost?
Try it free for 14 days, then £49 + VAT for your first month. A card is needed to start. We'll tell you the monthly price after that before your first month begins.
Is there a contract, and can I cancel?
There's no long contract. You can cancel any time. If you cancel within the 14 free days, you won't be charged.
What about my customers' data?
We handle personal data in line with UK GDPR. Call details are only used to run the service for you, and we never sell them. Full privacy terms will be published before launch.
When and where does Vanswer launch?
We're launching in December 2026, starting with trades in the West Midlands, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Register your interest to hear first.
Thanks, we've got it
