AI Voice Agents: Never Miss Another Business Call
Turn every inbound call into a captured opportunity with AI voice automation built for business phone numbers. Answer calls instantly, qualify enquiries, capture details and route callers to the right person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Designed for 13, 1300 and 1800 numbers.
Why AI Voice Automation Is Changing Inbound Calls
Missed Calls Mean Missed Revenue
Every missed call is a potential customer who didn’t get through.
During busy periods, after hours or staff shortages, businesses often lose valuable enquiries simply because no one answers in time.
AI voice automation ensures every call is answered instantly.
The system identifies caller intent, asks structured questions, captures contact details and routes enquiries to the correct destination — without relying solely on staff availability.
This isn’t about replacing people.
It’s about protecting revenue and improving response times.

Phone Numbers (1300, 1800 & 13)
What is the difference between a 1300, 1800 and 13 number?
A 1300 number is a 10-digit national number where callers pay a low shared cost. A 1800 number is a 10-digit toll-free number where the business covers the call cost. A 13 number is a short, 6-digit premium number with limited availability and a fixed caller charge.
What is a phoneword?
A phoneword is a business number that spells a word using the letters on a phone keypad. For example, 1300 PLUMBER (1300 758 623). Phonewords are proven to be five times more memorable than digit-only numbers.
How much does a phone number cost?
Costs vary depending on the number type and its memorability. Premium phonewords and 13 numbers may attract higher allocation charges. Contact our team for a tailored quote.
Can I choose a specific number or phoneword?
Yes. You can search for a specific number or word using our search tool.
What is overdial?
Overdial refers to extra characters beyond the standard digit length of a phone number. For example, 1300 PLUMBER has seven letters but only six digits are required after the prefix. While overdial works on most networks, some VoIP systems may not support it. We recommend displaying your numerical number alongside your phoneword.
Can I port my existing 1300, 1800 or 13 number to Flexi Dial?
Yes. We can assist with porting your existing number. The process is straightforward and professionally managed.
Can I route calls to a mobile phone?
Yes. Calls to any 13, 1300 or 1800 number can be routed to mobiles, landlines, offices or call centres.
Are these numbers available Australia-wide?
Yes. All 13, 1300 and 1800 numbers provide national coverage across Australia.
What happens if my number isn't connected to a service?
If your number is not connected to an active phone service, your rights of use remain valid for three years from the last active service date. After that, the number may become available for reallocation.
Inbound Call Plans
What is an inbound call plan?
An inbound call plan is the service that activates and routes your 13, 1300 or 1800 number. It determines how calls are handled, where they are directed, and what features are available.
What features are included?
Depending on your plan, features may include smart call routing, IVR menus, call queuing, time-based routing, voicemail-to-email, call whisper, missed call alerts, real-time reporting and analytics.
Can I change my call plan later?
Yes. Plans are flexible and can be scaled up or down as your business needs change. There are no lock-in contracts.
Do I get access to a management portal?
Yes. All call plans include access to our self-service management portal where you can adjust routing, review analytics and manage your numbers.
AI Voice Agents
What is an AI voice agent?
An AI voice agent is an intelligent automated system that answers inbound calls using natural, conversational language. It can understand caller intent, capture details, categorise enquiries and route calls to the appropriate person or department.

Does it support multiple languages?
Yes, AI voice agents support multilingual capabilities, allowing them to communicate with customers in multiple languages seamlessly.
Hosted Phone Systems & Voice
What is a hosted phone system?
A hosted phone system (also known as cloud PBX or VoIP) allows your business to manage calls over the internet rather than traditional landlines. There is no on-site hardware required.
Do I need to buy hardware?
Not necessarily. Hosted phone systems work with softphones, mobile apps and browser-based calling. Desk phones are optional and can be provisioned if required.
Can remote staff use the system?
Yes. Your team can make and receive calls from any location with an internet connection — office, home or on-site.
Does it work with my existing 1300 or 1800 number?
Yes. Your existing numbers integrate directly into the hosted system.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Calls are automatically routed to mobile numbers or alternative destinations as a failover. Cloud-hosted means no single point of failure.
What is SIP trunking?
SIP trunking connects your existing on-premises PBX or phone system to our network, providing reliable and cost-effective calling without replacing your current hardware.
What features are included?
Core features include auto-attendant (IVR), call forwarding and routing, voicemail-to-email, call recording, call analytics and reporting, multi-site support and mobile app integration.
