Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Australian business owners ask before switching to an AI receptionist.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business phone line the way a human receptionist would — it greets the caller, answers questions about your business, books appointments into your calendar, qualifies leads, and sends you a summary of the call. hello22 answers on your existing number, so nothing changes for your customers.
How is an AI answering service different from a traditional call centre?
A call centre charges per call or per seat, works set hours, and needs training every time your offer changes. An AI answering service answers instantly at any hour, takes unlimited simultaneous calls, and costs one flat monthly rate. hello22 starts at AUD $49/month with no per-call fees.
Does the AI voice agent understand Australian accents?
Yes. The voice agent is tuned for Australian callers, including regional accents, local suburb and street names, and Australian date and time formats. You can also pick the voice your callers hear so it matches your brand.
Can the AI appointment setter book into my calendar?
Yes. It reads your live availability, offers real open slots during the call, books the appointment, and sends the confirmation — so the caller is booked before they hang up. No callback, no double-booking.
Is it really available 24/7?
Yes — after hours, weekends and public holidays included. Most missed calls in Australian small businesses happen at lunch, after 5pm and on weekends, which is exactly when a 24/7 AI answering service pays for itself.
How much does an AI receptionist cost in Australia?
hello22 plans are AUD $49, $69 and $89 per month, each including 200 call minutes. For comparison, a part-time human receptionist in Australia typically costs several thousand dollars a month once salary, super and leave are included.
How long does setup take?
About 22 minutes. You connect your number, pick a voice, tell the agent about your business, and it goes live. There is a free trial and no credit card is required to start.
Can it qualify leads instead of just taking messages?
Yes. The AI lead qualification agent asks your qualifying questions — job type, budget, timeline, location — scores the enquiry, and pushes qualified leads straight to your team or CRM while filtering out the time-wasters.
Your next missed call is someone else's customer
