AI receptionist · Locksmiths
A locked-out caller doesn't leave a voicemail, they hang up and dial the next name they find. Bella answers your line 24/7, gets the address and the situation in seconds, and transfers a real lockout to your cell while the caller is still waiting.

A lockout call is short and needs speed more than anything, which is exactly what the Answer plan at $99 a month is built for: your own dedicated number answered 24/7, a live transfer to your cell the second a call matches the urgent words you set during setup, a summary emailed after every call, and 400 minutes included each month.
Run more scheduled work, re-keys, lock upgrades, commercial installs, and the Book plan at $149 a month puts those appointments straight onto your calendar with a text follow-up to the caller, plus 1,000 minutes included. Booking works with Google Calendar, Outlook, iCloud, and Jobber by pasting your calendar's private link once. Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and Square connect the same way through Google Calendar.
Extra minutes past your plan run $0.25 each. A second phone number, handy if you run a mobile crew separately from your storefront line, is an optional $19 a month add-on. Text follow-up alone is a $29 a month add-on on the Answer plan; Book already includes it. No setup fee, month to month, cancel anytime. Full breakdown at /plan.html.
Pick your plan and pay. Choose Answer or Book at /plan.html. No setup fee either way.
Answer nine quick questions. An email arrives with your new number and short questions about your service area, pricing, and what counts as an emergency for you.
Forward your line. Conditional call forwarding works, so Bella only answers the calls you miss, or forward everything if you'd rather she take every call.
She's live. Callers keep dialing the number already on your van, your ads, and your Google listing.
Yes, that's the exact call it's built for. Bella answers on the first ring at any hour, gets the caller's location and what's locked, whether it's a house, a car, or a business, and rings your cell for a live transfer if the caller is stranded and it matches the urgent rule you set.
For non-urgent work like a re-key appointment or a lock upgrade, yes. Booking connects to Google Calendar, Outlook, iCloud, and Jobber by pasting your calendar's private link once. Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and Square connect the same way through Google Calendar.
That's what live transfer is for. Every plan includes it. Bella keeps the stranded caller on the line, confirms the address and the situation, then rings your phone and connects the two of you while they're still waiting, instead of leaving them a case number and a promise.
No. You get a new dedicated number for Bella and forward your existing line to it. Conditional forwarding works too, so she only answers what you miss, and the number your customers already have never changes.
Answer is $99 a month with 400 minutes and live transfer built in. Book is $149 a month with 1,000 minutes, appointment booking for re-keys and installs, and a text follow-up to the caller. Extra minutes run $0.25 each, there is no setup fee, and you can cancel anytime.
