Do I need a new business number?
No. Customers keep calling your current number. You forward only the calls you choose — for example when you’re busy or don’t answer. Forwarding settings and any charges depend on your network.
Do I have to set up the AI myself?
No. You give us the information about your business and check a test call. sitco prepares the script and the number. You switch on forwarding using our instructions.
Does the caller know they’re talking to AI?
Yes. The assistant opens every call by saying it is the AI assistant for your business, by name.
Will the assistant quote prices?
No. It answers approved questions, takes enquiries or books the agreed appointment. Quotes, diagnoses, complaints and unusual requests go to you.
Are calls recorded?
Audio recording is off by default for a new assistant. Transcripts and personal data held by the voice provider are set to be deleted after 30 days. How long summaries and enquiries stay in your sitco dashboard is set out in the data processing terms before you sign.
How many calls can it take at once?
One. The assistant talks to one caller at a time.
What happens after 1000 minutes?
You get an email warning at 800 minutes and a notice when the 1000 minutes are used. There are no automatic top-up charges. A single call can last up to 15 minutes; then the assistant ends it. After 1000 minutes the assistant stops taking new calls; where those calls go instead is confirmed after carrier testing, before activation.
Does it send text messages?
No. Summaries and notices come by email. The package has no text-message channel.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time, effective at the end of the paid month. Until then the assistant keeps answering as normal.
When does the paid month start?
On the day we go live, after the forwarding and the enquiry email have been tested — not on the day you sign up.
Can I update the information?
Yes. Two small update requests a month are included — prices, hours or service details. Fixing our own mistakes never counts towards that. A new process or a custom integration is quoted separately.
Is there VAT on top?
No. SITCO LTD is not VAT-registered, so £79 a month is the full price.
