An AI Receptionist for Newark Small Businesses

The median receptionist in the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area earns $44,690 a year (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025). Voksha's Starter plan is $14 a month ($168 a year) with 15 calls included, and Premium, which adds appointment booking, is $99 a month ($1,188 a year) with 150 calls included; extra calls are $1 each. Voksha answers the phone; it doesn't greet walk-in visitors or do other front-desk work, so many Newark businesses use it to cover calls rather than to replace a person.

Yes. Voksha works with any business number you can forward, including Newark numbers in the 973 and 862 area codes. You keep your number and forward calls to Voksha, and you can be live in under 5 minutes.

Yes. In Voksha's call data, 32% of calls to small businesses arrive outside weekday 9 to 5 and 23% arrive on weekends (After-Hours Economy report). For a Newark business that means calls before 9 am or after 5 pm Eastern Time (America/New_York), plus weekends and holidays. Voksha answers all of them, takes the caller's details and sends you a summary. On Premium, after-hours emergency routing can send urgent calls to you.

New Jersey is a one-party consent jurisdiction for recording phone calls (N.J. Stat. Ann. §§ 2A:156A-3, 2A:156A-4): a call can be recorded when at least one person on it agrees. When a call crosses state lines, the stricter state's rule may apply, so the safe habit is to tell callers at the start that the call may be recorded. You can put that line in the script Voksha follows. This is general information, not legal advice.

Yes. Voksha works as a 24/7 answering service for Newark businesses, with calls answered by AI instead of a pool of live operators.

On Premium it can also book appointments on your calendar.

Voksha charges per call, not per minute. Starter is $14/month for 15 calls and Premium is $99/month for 150 calls, with $1 per additional call on both. Enterprise starts at $990/month. There is a 7-day money-back guarantee.
