Missed-call answering for trades and small businesses
Your phone, answered while you're on the tools.
When you can't pick up, your receptionist answers in your business's name, takes the customer's details and texts you a summary within a minute. So they don't ring the next name on Google.
Free. Your own demo receptionist plus a one-page report on how many of your calls go unanswered. 5 checks a week.
- Set up for you
- Keep your own number
- No contract
- 14 days free

Boiler stopped, no hot water
Best time: asap
What happens when you can't answer
- A customer rings your normal number. Your phone rings like it always does.
- You're under a boiler. After about 20 seconds the call passes to your receptionist.
- It takes their name, number, postcode and what they need, one question at a time.
- You get a text and an email with the details, and ring back when you're ready.

How it works
Nothing changes for your customers.
A 15-minute chat
I ask what you do, where you cover, your hours and the questions customers always ask. Or fill in the 5-minute form yourself.
You hear it first
I build your receptionist and you ring it as many times as you like. Nothing goes live until you're happy with how it sounds.
One code on your phone
You dial a short code so unanswered calls pass to it. Dial another code to switch it off any time. You keep your number.
Do the maths
What are missed calls costing you?
Move the sliders to match your week. It's rough maths with your own numbers, not a promise, but it shows why one caught job usually covers the month.
of work a month could be going to someone else. Pamma Labs is £99 a month.

Questions
Straight answers
Will my customers know it's AI?
Yes. It says it's your virtual assistant at the start of every call, and if anyone asks, it tells them. Most people just want their details taken and a call back, and that's what it does.
What if it gets something wrong?
It only says what you've told it. If it doesn't know, it says you'll ring them back. You get every summary straight away, and I check calls myself in your first week.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number. Unanswered calls pass to your receptionist after about 20 seconds, and you can switch it off with one code.
How much is it, really?
£99 a month for calls, or £129 with WhatsApp and website chat. No setup fee for founding clients, no contract, and the first 14 days are free.
How soon can I be live?
Usually within a day of our chat, once you've rung it and you're happy.
What happens to my customers' details?
They're only used to send you the summary and to run the service. I sign a data agreement with every client, and you can ask me to delete recordings at any time. See the privacy notice.
