A burst pipe at half nine

For plumbers
You're under a house with your hands full. Your next job is ringing.
An AI receptionist that answers when you can't — knows a burst pipe from a dripping tap, takes the address, and emails you the job before the caller's found the next plumber.

Who answers my phone when I am under a house?
agents247 is an Australian AI receptionist that answers the phone for plumbers when you can't. It knows a burst pipe from a dripping tap, takes the address, and never quotes a price you would have to honour. It takes the caller's name, number and what they need, then emails you the job before they hang up. Solo is $199 a month for 150 calls, Team is $449 for 500, GST included, no lock-in.
The call you missed today
9pm, burst pipe, one-bathroom house. They rang you first. No answer — so they rang the next number, and that plumber got the $180 call-out and the relined pipe that followed. You never knew the call happened.
What your agent already knows
From day one, before you customise anything.
- A gas smell means "get out and ring 000" — before taking any details.
- A burst pipe means "can you turn the water off at the mains?" — before asking a name.
- Your after-hours call-out fee is the only price it ever states. Everything else: "quoted on site once the plumber's looked at it" — said plainly, no guessing.
- Urgent versus can-wait: a blocked toilet in a one-bathroom house is urgent at 9pm; a dripping tap is cheaper for the customer on Tuesday. It says so honestly.

One of these calls, start to finish.
These are illustrative example calls with fictional businesses — not recordings of real customers. On a real call, every caller is told at the start that the call is recorded, and if someone asks whether they're speaking to a person, it tells them the truth.
Your emergency line, answered 24/7. Two plans, month to month, no lock-in.
The agent takes the caller's details, or leave yours here and we'll call you back. When you're convinced, the plans are on the pricing page.
