Can Voksha work with the cell phone number I already advertise as my business line?

Avi NashVP of Growth

For Locksmiths

Yes. Most solo and small-shop locksmiths advertise a personal cell number as their business line, and Voksha is built to handle exactly that setup through call forwarding, which every major carrier supports without needing a new number or new hardware. You keep your existing number on your Google Business Profile, your van decals, and your website, and calls to that number forward to Voksha, which answers, quotes, and dispatches, then notifies you of the job details via SMS or Slack so you or the tech on call can head straight to the job site. You can configure conditional forwarding so calls only route to Voksha when you do not answer within a set number of rings, which is useful if you want to personally take calls during business hours and let Voksha handle after-hours and overflow, or you can forward everything to Voksha full time if you want consistent quoting and dispatch on every call regardless of what you are doing when it comes in. Given the well-established pattern in this trade that emergency lockout callers do not leave voicemails and instead call the next locksmith on the list, a locksmith relying on a personal cell phone that goes to standard voicemail during a job is losing calls that conditional forwarding to Voksha would capture instantly. Switching back to answering calls yourself, if you ever want to, is as simple as turning off call forwarding, there is no lock-in and no equipment to return, consistent with the month-to-month, no-contract billing across all plans.
