AI Receptionist UK – Common Questions
Answers to the most common questions UK businesses ask before switching to an AI receptionist. See also our Buyer’s Guide.
What is an AI Receptionist UK service?
An AI Receptionist UK service provides a natural language agent that answers your business calls, takes messages, books appointments and routes urgent callers to you — delivering receptionist-grade coverage without the in‑house cost or management.
Will callers know they’re speaking to AI?
To your callers it simply feels like they’re speaking to your receptionist. Our AI answers in your business name, follows scripts you approve and hands off via live transfer just like an in‑house front desk would.
Can I keep my existing UK business number?
Yes. Most customers forward their existing landline or mobile to their Team‑Connect AI receptionist number. If you prefer, we can also supply a new geographic number, 03 or 0800 number for your campaigns.
Is the service suitable for regulated sectors?
We work with UK dentists, healthcare providers, law firms and financial services. Scripts and processes can be tailored to your compliance requirements, and our platform is fully GDPR‑compliant with UK/EU data hosting options.
How quickly can I get started?
Most UK businesses are live within the same day. Choose your plan, tell us how you’d like your calls answered, who to route urgent calls to and where to send messages — then start forwarding calls.
Can I upgrade, downgrade or cancel?
Yes. Plans are flexible. You can adjust your AI Receptionist UK package as your call volume changes or cancel if you ever need to, with no long‑term lock‑in.
