An AI Receptionist for Washington Small Businesses

The median receptionist in the Washington, DC metro area earns $41,240 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 Washington businesses use it to cover calls rather than to replace a person.

Yes. Voksha works with any business number you can forward, including Washington numbers in the 202 and 771 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 Washington 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.

Washington, DC is a one-party consent jurisdiction for recording phone calls (D.C. Code §§ 23-541, 23-542): 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 Washington businesses, with calls answered by AI instead of a pool of live operators. It answers on the first ring and responds in under 200 ms, captures each caller's details, follows your script and sends you a summary of every call. 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.

Any business where the phone rings while the owner is busy. Washington's biggest sectors include government, professional services and technology, and the small businesses around them often face the same problem: the front desk is checking a patient in while the phone keeps ringing, and new patients don't always wait on hold. You write the script, so Voksha answers the way your business does.
