Every missed call is a customer who rings the next name on the list. You can't answer while you're up a ladder, with a client or asleep. NeverMiss does.

Hear it for yourself

Not a voicemail. A receptionist that closes.

Most AI answering just takes a message. Yours acknowledges the problem, answers what it can, gets the details and tells the caller what happens next, so they stop ringing round.

  • Acknowledges the problem and keeps the caller on the line
  • Answers from facts you have approved: areas, services, hours, prices
  • Collects the details you choose, then confirms the next step
  • Flags urgent calls and sends them to you straight away

Example call, Hartley Plumbing

ReceptionistHello, Hartley Plumbing and Heating. How can I help?

CallerHi, my boiler's leaking. Can someone come out tomorrow?

ReceptionistSorry to hear that, let's get it sorted. We cover Leeds and repair boilers, so I'll request a morning visit for you. If it's safe, turn the water off at the stopcock. What's your name and postcode?

CallerSanjay Shah, LS6 2AB.

ReceptionistThanks Sanjay. I've marked it urgent and sent it to Dave's phone now so he can confirm your slot. Is 07700 900418 the best number for him to ring?

CallerYes, that one.

ReceptionistPerfect. Dave will be in touch shortly. Is there anything else I can help with?

The maths

What does a missed call really cost?

Move the sliders to match your business. The answer is an estimate, not a promise.

Work walking away each month

£0NeverMiss Business is £14 a month. Saving a single customer pays for it.

Why NeverMiss

Voicemail loses the call. A receptionist is a salary.

NeverMiss sits in between: every call answered, from £2 a month.

How it works

Live in minutes, then it runs itself.

  1. Pick a number

    Choose a UK business number for your customers to ring. It appears on your site, cards and van.

  2. Set your hours

    Tell us when you take calls and where they should ring. Mobile, landline, or both in order.

  3. Let AI catch the rest

    Unanswered and out-of-hours calls go to your receptionist. You get the message, not a missed-call badge.

Everything behind the number

A whole front desk, set up from one place.

The details a busy business actually needs, not a stack of tools to stitch together.

It learns your business from your website

Point it at your site and review each fact it finds. It only ever answers from what you approve.

13 British voices

Play a sample of each in your account, write your own greeting and tell it how to behave.

Your team, in the order you choose

Ring everyone at once or one after another, with a fallback when nobody picks up.

Transfers to the right person

Callers can be passed to a colleague you have approved. If they do not answer, it takes a message instead.

Leads and requests, tracked

Calls are sorted into new leads, support requests and messages, with follow-ups so nothing slips.

Insights that show the value

See answered, missed and blocked calls, busy times and the questions it could not answer.

Call menus, queues and voicemail

Press 1 for sales, wait in line, or leave a message. Out of hours is handled too.

Alerts by email

Get a summary of every lead and message as it happens, wherever you are.

Worried about AI on your phone?

It only says what you've approved.

We built NeverMiss around the obvious fear: a confident wrong answer in your name.

You approve every fact

It reads your website and you review each fact before it's used. Correct it, reject it, add your own.

You set the limits

You choose what it can do and who it can transfer to. Anything else it politely declines.

You see every call

Transcript, summary and outcome for each AI call, so you can fix anything it got wrong.

Built for the UK

UK numbers, British voices, pounds sterling. Calls are only recorded if you switch it on, with a disclosure first.

Always the best value

We check every month that you're on the right deal.

Most providers are happy for you to overpay. We compare your real usage against every plan and bundle, and tell you straight.

Need more? We will say so

If a bigger plan or a bundle would cost you less, we recommend it and show you the saving.

Paying too much? We will say that too

If you are on a higher plan than you use, we tell you to move down. Quiet months do not cost you extra.

Bundles when they save you money

AI minutes from 10p instead of 15p, and calls forwarded to your phone from 2.4p a minute.

No bill shocks

Every call and AI minute is itemised, with your usage and what is left always on screen.

Pricing

Start small. Know what you pay.

Every plan has the same phone system. Bigger plans add AI minutes and call divert credit.

Questions, answered.

Can't see yours? Ask us.

What is NeverMiss.tel?

A UK business phone number that rings your existing mobile or landline, hands unanswered calls to an AI receptionist, and filters nuisance callers with Call Firewall. There is no handset to buy and no app to learn.

Do I need new hardware or an app?

No. Your NeverMiss number diverts to the UK mobile or landline you already use. You answer calls the way you do today.

What does the AI receptionist actually do?

It answers when you cannot, using only the information you have approved. It can answer common questions, take a message, capture lead details and, if you allow it, transfer the caller to you or a colleague. You get a transcript, a summary and the outcome of every call.

Can the AI say things about my business that are not true?

It is limited to the facts you approve. You review what it knows from your website and your own answers before it uses any of it, and you choose which actions it may take. No system is perfect, so you can read every transcript and correct what it knows.

What is call divert credit?

Call divert credit is a monthly allowance towards the cost of diverting calls to a UK mobile or landline. Your usage is itemised in your account, so you can see where it goes.

What happens if I use more than my AI minutes?

Extra AI time is 15p per minute, or as little as 10p if you buy a bundle in advance. Bundle minutes are a one-off purchase and roll over. We also check your real usage and tell you if another plan would cost you less.

Let the right calls find you.
