FAQ

Common questions

Will my customers like talking to AI?

Yes. Callers prefer getting answers immediately over leaving a voicemail and hoping for a callback. AI resolves their question on the spot or connects them to a human right away.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

Dialbox AI only answers questions you've trained it on. Your services, hours, FAQs, and pricing. For topics outside its knowledge, it takes a message or transfers to your team.

What happens when a caller wants to talk to a real person?

They get one. Callers can request a transfer at any point. AI routes them to the right team member based on what they need. VIP contacts can bypass AI entirely.

Do I have to port my phone number?

No. Forward your existing number to Dialbox when you're unavailable. Many customers start this way, then port later once they see how well it works.

Is it hard to set up?

If you're forwarding, setup takes 5 minutes. If you're porting, most transfers complete in 3-7 days. No hardware to install. Customers call the same number they always have.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $59.00 CAD/month with unlimited call minutes. No contracts. Cancel anytime. See our pricing page for full details.

Is my data secure?

Yes. PIPEDA and CCPA compliant. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Conversations are never used to train AI models. When you delete data, it's gone permanently.

Is my business too small for this?

You're exactly who we built this for. When you're with a customer and can't answer the phone, you lose business. Size doesn't matter. Getting every call does.

Is it reliable?

99.9% uptime with enterprise-grade infrastructure. If your office internet goes down, calls still reach your mobile app over cellular.
