Your number, your phone, your WhatsApp
Voxra isn't an app you forward calls to. IQ Mobile, a UK phone company, runs the line.

Because Voxra runs the line, it picks up when you don't. Urgent calls come straight through to your mobile, and everything else lands as a summary on your phone.

Questions
What is an AI receptionist for a barbershop?
An AI receptionist for a barbershop answers the phone while you're cutting. Voxra tells callers your prices, opening hours and how walk-ins work, books appointments into your diary or points them to your booking link, and passes group and wedding bookings to you.
We're mostly walk-ins. Is it still worth it?
If the phone interrupts your cutting, yes. Most calls are the same questions: prices, hours, how long's the wait. Voxra answers those and books the people who want a set time.
Will callers know it's AI?
Yes. Voxra says it's your AI assistant. That's the honest thing to do, and our terms require it. It sounds natural, and most people just want to know if you're open. Anything it can't handle comes to you.
Can we keep the shop number?
Yes. You get a new local number straight away, and we'll help you move your existing number across.
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days free from the moment your Voxra number goes live. Once you have your number we'll ask for a card or Direct Debit, but nothing is taken until the trial ends. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly plans roll month to month and you can cancel any time. Pay annually and you get two months free. All prices exclude VAT.
