Frequently asked questions

Does the AI answering service work 24/7?+

Yes. The agent answers every call 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays. You choose what it handles on its own and when it transfers to a person.

Can it transfer callers to a person?+

Yes. You define transfer rules — urgent matters, specific request types, or a caller asking for a human — and the agent warm-transfers the call to your phone with context, or takes a message and notifies you instantly.

How is an AI answering service priced?+

Telenow bills per minute of actual talk time with itemized, component-level pricing (model, speech, telephony, platform fee). Unanswered and failed calls are not billed. There are no per-call fees and no long-term contract.

How quickly can we go live?+

Most teams launch from a ready-made template in under an hour: pick the template, connect your calendar or CRM, forward your number (or get a new one in-app), and test with a real call before going live.
