Virtual receptionist questions, answered
Is a virtual receptionist cheaper than hiring a receptionist?
Yes — for most small businesses Ansio costs a fraction of a full-time front-desk salary, and unlike a hire it answers every call at once, around the clock, with no breaks, sick days, or lunch hours when the phone goes unanswered.
Is Ansio a bilingual or Spanish-speaking virtual receptionist?
Yes. Ansio answers callers in English, Spanish, and 40+ other languages and switches mid-call, so you get a multilingual virtual receptionist without hiring multilingual staff.
What is a virtual receptionist?
A virtual receptionist answers a business's phone calls remotely instead of an on-site front-desk employee. Ansio's AI virtual receptionist answers 24/7, books appointments on your calendar, sends SMS confirmations, and routes urgent callers to the right person.
How is this different from an answering service?
A traditional telephone answering service mostly takes messages and passes them along. Ansio does the work: it books, reschedules, and cancels appointments in real time, routes callers by your rules, and sends confirmations — not just a note for you to act on later.
How much does a virtual receptionist cost?
Ansio is a flat monthly subscription with no per-minute or per-call charges, so a busy month never means a surprise bill. See the pricing page for current plans.
How fast can I get set up?
Most businesses are live the same day. You forward your existing number to Ansio — there's no new hardware, no new phone system, and no contract.
Can it route or transfer calls to my team?
Yes. You set the rules — by topic, caller, or urgency — and Ansio transfers those callers to the right person while handling everything else itself.
Is the virtual receptionist available in the UK?
Yes. Ansio works the same across the US, Canada, and the UK — answering, booking, and routing your calls around the clock.
