Do I have to change my phone number to use the AI Receptionist?

No. You keep your own number on your website, your Google profile, your van and your cards, and your customers keep calling it.

Behind the scenes we set up a hidden AOS number in your area code. You tell your phone company, once, to send the calls you don't pick up to that number, and AOS answers them. Callers never see the AOS number and you never need to publish it. Your phone still rings first.

If you'd rather we host your number completely, that's an option too: in the Receptionist Studio's Call flow, choose “Move my number to AOS” and we'll talk it through. It stays yours, it keeps working the whole time, and it takes 2 to 10 business days.
