Free trial
Try your AI receptionist free for 7 days
7 days free, no card. Up to 30 calls or 60 minutes, answered in your business name, and you keep your own number. After that, add a card to keep it, or do nothing and it simply stops.
Start your free trial
Every trial runs on the Pro plan; pick your plan when you add a card.
What happens next
We email your set-up link. It is from hello@whileyouwork.co.uk and usually arrives within a minute.
You fill in a form that takes about two minutes, or give us your website and we read it for you.
Your line is live. You switch on divert from your mobile with one code, and calls you do not pick up within 20 seconds are answered in your business name.
After 7 days, add a card to keep it, or do nothing and it stops. We keep your number for 30 days in case you change your mind.
Fair use: the free trial covers up to 30 calls or 60 minutes of calls, whichever comes first, and may be ended early if it is used for anything other than trying the service for your own business. One trial per business, person or mobile number.
During the trial
What your receptionist does from day one
Answers in your name, 24 hours a day
A natural British voice greets every caller as your business, says it is your automated assistant, and asks the questions your kind of business needs.
Details with you in a minute
Name, number, where they are and what they need, by email after every call. Urgent calls are texted to you straight away and can be put through to your phone.
Your number stays yours
You divert the calls you miss to the number we give you. Customers keep ringing the number they already have, and one code switches the divert off.
The trial runs on Pro, so website chat is included too. See everything the receptionist does and what each plan costs after the trial.
Questions
About the free trial
Is a card needed?
No. The trial starts without a card and nothing is charged during it. You only add a card if you want to keep your receptionist after the 7 days, and the first payment is taken when you add it.
What happens after 7 days?
Two days before the end we email you a reminder. If you have added a card, your plan starts and nothing changes for your callers. If you have not, the line stops answering and we keep your number for 30 days, so you can add a card later and it answers again straight away. Switch your divert off and callers reach your mobile as before.
Do I keep my number?
Yes. Nothing changes about the number on your van, your shop front or your Google listing. You divert the calls you do not answer to the number we give you, and one short code turns it off again.
What if I go over 30 calls?
The trial covers up to 30 answered calls or 60 minutes of calls, whichever comes first. If you reach either before the 7 days are up, the line pauses until you add a card. Most businesses do not get near it in a week; if you do, that is a sign the receptionist is paying for itself.
Which plan is the trial on?
Every trial runs on the Pro plan, so you see text alerts for urgent calls, calls put through to your phone and website chat. When you add a card you pick the plan you want: Starter £39, Pro £69 or Business £129 a month plus VAT, and the first 50 UK businesses get Pro for £49 plus VAT for their first 12 months.
Is there still a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Once you pay, cancel within 14 days of your line going live and we refund what you paid in full. There is no contract after that either: cancel any time from your dashboard or by email.
