Live in minutes

Three steps.
No hardware, no code, no contracts.

  1. Find your business

    Type your name and pick your Google listing. Address, hours, phone and services pre-fill — you confirm or fix them. Not on Google? Type them in.

  2. Hire your receptionist

    Choose a face and a voice, give them a name. They read your website while you finish, so they can answer real questions about what you do.

  3. Call your new number

    Your receptionist gets a local number and starts answering immediately. Call it from your cell and hear your own hours read back. Point your Fongo line at it whenever you're ready.

Tuned by trade

Characters, not call trees.

Every trade gets its own questions, booking flow and vocabulary — reservations for restaurants, appointments for clinics, service calls for the trades. Rename anyone, anytime.

Common questions

Everything owners ask us.

Will callers know they're talking to AI?

She speaks with a natural voice and introduces herself honestly as your business's assistant. She handles interruptions and follow-up questions conversationally — no menus.

Does it replace my existing phone number?

No. Your receptionist gets her own local number the moment setup finishes, so you can test risk-free. When you're ready, point your existing line at it — and because Fongo is a phone company, she answers on Fongo's own network, not a third-party bolt-on.

What happens when a caller needs a real person?

She transfers the call to you or your team with context, and takes a message with a callback promise when nobody is available. Every call is transcribed and summarised on your dashboard.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Pick your business from its Google listing, review the details it fills in, choose a face and a voice, and get a local number that answers immediately.

How much does it cost?

$24.99 CAD per month during the founding pilot, including setup and a local number, with a 14-day free trial. An answering service typically runs $400–800 a month; a full-time receptionist about $3,750.
