The Problem
Why the Old Model Costs You Calls.
What a per-minute human service and a voicemail box quietly lose.
The one-person front desk
When the owner is the receptionist, every call taken is work not done, and every call missed is revenue gone.
The salary maths
A full-time receptionist is a five-figure annual commitment before benefits, for coverage that stops at 5pm.
The unpredictable invoice
Per-minute services make the phone bill a variable cost, which is exactly what a small business cannot plan around.
The lost first impression
A caller who reaches voicemail on their first contact rarely calls a second time.

How It Works Day to Day.
Cover the owner-operator
The phone is answered while you are on a job, with a client, or driving between the two.
Skip the hire
Front-desk coverage without a salary, payroll taxes, holiday cover or a desk to sit at.
Answer beyond 5pm
The calls that arrive after you close are booked rather than lost to whoever answers next.
Keep your number
Forward the number already on your listings, van and business cards. Nothing to reprint, nothing to port.
A virtual receptionist for a small business answers incoming calls on behalf of the business without being physically on site. It greets the caller, answers common questions, qualifies the enquiry, books appointments and routes urgent calls, replacing the need for a full-time front-desk hire.
Voksha starts at $14 per month for 15 calls, then $1 per additional call, with a $99 Premium plan covering 150 calls. Human virtual receptionist services generally start between $99 and $350 per month and bill per minute above an included bundle.
For most small businesses, substantially. A full-time receptionist is a five-figure annual salary plus payroll costs and covers roughly 40 hours a week. Voksha Starter is $168 a year and covers all 168 hours in a week.
About five minutes. You forward your existing business number, describe what your business does and how you want calls handled, connect your calendar, and the receptionist is live.
You decide. Voksha can transfer the call live to you or a team member, take a detailed message, or book a callback. Nothing gets dropped, and you receive a transcript and summary of every call either way.
No. There is no minimum term, no setup fee and no annual commitment. You can change plan or cancel at any time.
