Calls answered while you’re on the job.
Farcall is an AI receptionist for UK trades. It picks up when you can’t, takes the details, flags emergencies straight to your phone and sends you the job in a text.
Now taking pilot businesses across the West Midlands.
Example messages. Names and numbers are made up.
What happens when you can’t pick up
You keep your number and your phone. Farcall only steps in when you’re busy or don’t answer.
-
The call goes to Farcall
When you’re on a ladder or under a sink, your phone forwards the call. Your number doesn’t change.
-
It answers in your business name
Callers are told it’s an AI assistant and that calls may be recorded. Then it asks what’s wrong.
-
It takes the details
Name, number, postcode and the problem, read back to the caller to check they’re right.
-
You get the job
Emergencies get a text straight away and a transfer to your mobile. Everything else arrives as a short summary.
Built to be straight with your customers
- Callers always know it’s an AI
- Every call opens with a short notice. No pretending to be a person, and no surprises about recording.
- It doesn’t guess
- If it can’t answer, it takes a message and tells you exactly what was asked. It only quotes a price if you’ve given it one.
- UK English, UK numbers
- Set up for British callers, British postcodes and British phone numbers.
- Your customers’ data stays yours
- We sign a UK GDPR data processing agreement with every business, and you can ask for your data to be deleted.
Starting with a small group of local businesses
We’re setting up our first pilot businesses in the West Midlands so we can get each one right. Plumbers, heating engineers, electricians and other trades that miss calls while working are the best fit.
Areas we’re starting in

Questions people ask first
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your current number and use your phone provider’s call forwarding to send unanswered or busy calls to Farcall. We’ll help you set it up.
Will callers know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. Every call starts with a short notice that it’s an AI assistant and that calls may be recorded.
What if it can’t handle a call?
It takes a message and sends it to you with what the caller asked. For anything urgent, it texts you straight away and transfers the call to your mobile.
What does it cost?
We agree a fixed monthly price with you in writing before anything goes live. Email us with your trade and area and we’ll come back with a price.
What happens to the call recordings?
Recordings and transcripts are personal data under UK GDPR. We handle them under a data processing agreement with your business, and you can ask us to delete them.
