My AI isn't answering calls

Troubleshoot why calls aren't being answered including subscription status, forwarding setup, and phone number issues.

Updated this week

If calls aren't being answered by your AI Receptionist, work through these checks to identify the issue.

Check 1: Subscription status

Is your subscription active?

  1. Log into your Dashboard

  2. Look for any subscription warning banners

  3. Check if you're in trial and trial has ended

  4. Verify payment hasn't failed

Fix: Upgrade your subscription or update payment method if payment failed.

Check 2: Call forwarding

Is call forwarding set up correctly?

  1. Go to Call Routing in the sidebar

  2. Verify the forwarding number is correct

  3. Try calling your AI number directly (bypassing forwarding)

Fix: Re-configure call forwarding or test direct calls to AI number.

Check 3: Correct number dialled

Are callers dialling the right number?

  1. Check which number is active (mobile or landline)

  2. Verify marketing materials have correct number

  3. Test call the number yourself

Fix: Update any materials with incorrect numbers.

Check 4: Phone number status

Is your AI phone number working?

  1. Go to the Phone Number by clicking the gear in the top right

  2. Check the correct mobile or landline is chosen

  3. Verify the correct number is being used

Fix: If status shows an issue, contact support.

Check 5: Trial limits

Have you exceeded trial limits?

  • Trial allows 10 calls per day

  • After 10 calls, AI won't answer until next day

Fix: Upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited calls.

Still not working?

If you've checked all the above:

  • Note the time of the failed call

  • Note the number the caller dialled

  • Contact support with these details
