Answer, qualify, schedule and convert every caller. NextPhone picks up in under 2 seconds, answers questions qualifies caller, and sends books directly in your calendar in real-time. It also sounds just like a human. Nextphone provides you with a phone number where you AI Phone agent lives 24/7. You can keep your number or get a dedicated one to forward calls to. Built for businesses that receive a lot of calls including law firms, home services, roofing, insurance brokers and many more.
At the beginning of 2025, voice AI was finally getting good enough to handle real phone conversations. So I built an iOS app called TTYL — an AI answering service for solo business operators. It took off. 4000+ of solopreneurs use it today, and it's handled over 500k calls.
But I kept getting the same request from slightly larger businesses: "We love how simple TTYL is, but we need this on the web. We have a small team, multiple calendars, CRM integrations - can you build something for us?"
So that's NextPhone. The same dead-simple setup that solo operators loved about TTYL, but built for growing service businesses — web-based, with real-time calendar booking, CRM syncing, and the integrations you actually need.
Here's what it does: NextPhone picks up your calls in under 2 seconds, answers questions about your business, qualifies the lead, and books the job directly into your calendar. We train it on your website and you're live in less than 5 minutes. We give you a US number or you can port over your existing one.
A few things that matter:
- Flat plans with unlimited calls, no overage fees - Actually books appointments in your calendar - Instant human transfer to your team - 10+ languages
We're being used by insurance brokers, law firms, HVAC companies, roofers, pest control, photographers - basically anyone who can't afford to miss calls but also can't sit by the phone all day.
The 7-day free trial is completely open — unlimited calls, full features, cancel anytime. Would love for you to try a demo call and tell me what you think.
Tried it for my cousins construction company last month and it has enabled him to remove himself as bottle neck of his business with 20+ missed calls a day.
He loves it!
Really like the <2 second pickup time — that's the benchmark we've seen matters most for caller retention. We build similar AI voice agents for service businesses using Vapi + Deepgram + Twilio stack, and the flat $199/mo pricing is a bold move vs. per-minute competitors.
Curious: how do you handle the handoff when the AI can't resolve a call — does it warm-transfer to a human with full context, or does it schedule a callback? That's been the trickiest part in our deployments. Congrats on the launch!
Some case studies and examples of actual voice calls in play would be beneficial. I just can't imagine letting an AI out the box handle the most valuable part of the pipeline without evidence that it worked so well in many contexts.
Smart to go flat-rate, that's a big differentiator in this space. How do you manage token costs internally though? Are you basing margins on averages across the customer base, i.e. some you win some you lose?
Does it also pick up specific tone or like the brand voice of your brand? Congrats on the huge launch, @yanismellata!
Ive been paying Ruby Receptionists like $400/mo and honestly they still put people on hold and get stuff wrong half the time. if this is even close to as good as the demo im switching
Quick question - can it handle more complex intake stuff? Like in PI law we need to ask about accident date, if theyve seen a doctor, insurance info etc before we even know if we want the case. Can you set that up or is it more basic?
Flat $199/mo unlimited calls is a gutsy pricing move in a space where everyone's charging per minute and hoping you don't notice. Respect the transparency
