AI grabs their details

Name. Number. What they need. 60 seconds. Done.

You get a text. Instantly.

"Dave called about a leaking tap. 0412 345 678." Plus an email with the full recording you can listen back to.

Questions

What does it actually cost?+
$5 per month for your own Australian phone number (like line rental), and 95¢ per message the AI takes on your behalf. That's it. Prepay a bundle at signup and pay less per message — the $20 pack brings it down to 80¢, the $100 pack brings it down to 67¢.
Is it really AI?+
Yes. It sounds like a real person. Your callers won't know the difference. It greets them by your business name, asks what they need, and wraps up in about 60 seconds.
What's the cheapest way to try it?+
The $5 Starter — your first month, your own AU number, and 5 messages included. If it's not working for you, text CANCEL — you'll get a full refund on any unused messages and your subscription cancels immediately. No retention calls, no guilt trips.
What's the $5 a month for?+
Your own dedicated Australian phone number, the AI answering service, SMS notifications, call recordings, the weekly digest — the whole thing. It's a recurring monthly charge, like paying line rental on a business phone. Cancel anytime by text and the $5/month stops straight away.
How do the bundles save me money?+
The standard message rate is 95¢ per message. Prepay a bundle at signup and that rate drops: the $20 pack gets you 25 messages at 80¢ each, the $50 pack gets 70 at 71¢ each, and the $100 pack gets 150 at 67¢ each. You pay the bundle price once upfront (on top of your first $5/month), and you don't have to think about top-ups until you've burned through it.
How does auto top-up work?+
When your message balance runs low, we'll automatically charge $9.50 for another 10 messages (at the standard 95¢ rate) so your service doesn't get interrupted. This is separate from the $5/month number fee. You can cancel the whole thing anytime by texting CANCEL — you'll get a full refund of any unused balance. (Texting STOP only stops marketing messages and won't cancel your subscription.)
Can I cancel?+
Anytime. Text STOP to your BusyBack number, or use the cancel link in any invoice email. Your remaining prepaid balance is refunded automatically. No phone calls, no retention teams, no guilt trips.
How do I set it up?+
Pay. You instantly get a text with your new number. Text your business name to it. Forward your missed calls. Done. Takes about 2 minutes. We'll walk you through carrier-specific forwarding codes on the setup page.
What does the caller hear?+
"Hi, you've called [your business name]. They can't take your call right now. Let me grab your details so they can call you back." Then it asks their name and what it's about. Quick and professional.
Do I need an app?+
No. Everything comes to you by text and email. There's nothing to install, nothing to log into, nothing to learn.

The last person who called you and got voicemail — did they leave a message?

Exactly. They didn't. And you never knew they called.

$5/month for your number + 95¢ per message. Bundles save up to 29%. Cancel anytime.
