# The phone system that handles the work your calls create

- **Inbound.** Get an AI receptionist to pick up every call, day and night, book the job and update your CRM.
- **Outbound.** Get through the whole list in an afternoon, and let the follow-up text send itself.
- **Agentic.** Learn what your calls say about the business, and have Claude build tomorrow's list for you.

**Talk to a person:** call 888-298-ALLO (+18882982556). An Allo agent picks up and puts you through to sales or support. It is the fastest demo on this page.

## Switching to Allo is fast and easy

### Get a local number, live in minutes
Pick your city and your area code, in 50+ countries. Or keep the one you have, ported free in a few business days.

### Invite your team, meet your agent
Invite your team to join your space. They take calls from their laptop and their phone. Your AI receptionist joins the same numbers.

### Your rules, in plain words
Set your hours, your call flow and what a summary captures, in plain words. Change any of it later, yourself.

## The jobs that get done, and what they sound like
Allo agents take a job from start to finish, not just a task in the middle. Here is what that sounds like on a real line.

### Shared numbers in perfect sync
Human or agent, whoever picks up sees the caller's whole history. Built for Front desk, hospitality, premium support.

**A caller qualified and routed to the right person**

Transcript:
- **Allo agent:** Thanks for calling Brightside Dental, this is the front desk. How can I help?
- **Caller:** Hi, I chipped a tooth this morning and I am in a fair bit of pain.
- **Allo agent:** I am sorry, that sounds painful. I can see you are one of Dr Ellery's patients. I am putting you through to the urgent line now, and I have flagged it as a same-day request.
- **Caller:** That would be great, thank you.
- **Teammate:** Hi, this is Priya on the urgent line. I have your history in front of me, let's get you in this afternoon.

What happened next:
- **Routed to the urgent line** — With the caller's history already on screen
- **Call flagged as same-day** — Visible to everyone on the shared number
- **History updated** — The next person to pick up sees this call too

### Cold calling without the admin work
Your reps stay on the line. An Allo agent logs the CRM, books meetings, sends the follow-ups. Built for Sales and outreach teams.

**A conversation that ends, and the admin that writes itself**
_A produced recreation. Fictional people and businesses, real agent behaviour._

Transcript:
- **Teammate:** So the piece you want to fix first is the handover between the shop floor and the office.
- **Caller:** Exactly. Right now it goes through a paper docket and half of them go missing.
- **Teammate:** Understood. Let me put thirty minutes in with our operations lead, I will send the details over.
- **Caller:** Tuesday morning works.

What happened next:
- **Summary written** — The pain named, the next step recorded
- **Tuesday meeting booked** — On both calendars, with the invite sent
- **Follow-up drafted** — Waiting in the rep's outbox for review
- **CRM updated** — Stage moved, notes attached to the deal

### Zero missed opportunities
Overwhelmed or off the clock, an agent answers, texts back, and captures the lead. Built for Lean teams with high call volumes.

**A call after closing time, with the job booked**
_A produced recreation. Fictional people and businesses, real agent behaviour._

Transcript:
- **Allo agent:** Halvorsen Plumbing, good evening. The office is closed, but I can help you now.
- **Caller:** My kitchen tap has been dripping all day and it is getting worse.
- **Allo agent:** I can get someone out to you. Is the address still 14 Ashgrove Lane?
- **Caller:** That is the one.
- **Allo agent:** Then I have tomorrow between eight and ten, or Thursday afternoon.
- **Caller:** Tomorrow morning, please.
- **Allo agent:** Booked. I am texting you the confirmation now, and the office will see this first thing.

What happened next:
- **Job booked for 8am** — Straight into the shared calendar
- **Confirmation texted** — The customer has it before they hang up
- **Lead captured** — Address, job type and urgency in your CRM

### Proactive follow-through (Coming soon)
Quiet leads re-engaged, invoices chased, churn caught early. Built for Account management and billing.

## The agent works because it lives inside the phone system
Your team and an Allo agent work on the same numbers, the same CRM, the same history and the same actions. What your team sees and does, an Allo agent sees and does too.

### A phone system at parity, at market price (The base)
Numbers, routing, shared lines, recordings, texting, the apps your team already knows. This is the part everyone in the category has, and we hold it at the lowest entry point of the category.

### Agents that carry a job end to end (The layer on top)
Because they sit inside that base, an Allo agent answers on your real line, reads the same history and writes back to the same tools. That is what lets it finish a job instead of handing you a task.

### What the alternatives have to build

- **Legacy phone systems:** They added AI on top of a product that was never built for it, so the agent sits beside the phone system rather than inside it.

- **AI-only players:** They answer calls well, and they have no phone system underneath. Your numbers, your team's lines and your call history stay somewhere else.

### An agent that works like a colleague
The same four things you would expect from someone at the desk next to you, done by an Allo agent on your line.

- **Listening.** A colleague: Hears what the caller actually wants, past the words they use. An Allo agent: Picks up the intent, the name, the address and the urgency, on every call.

- **Memory.** A colleague: Remembers the last three conversations with that customer. An Allo agent: Has the whole history on the same card, on every line your team shares.

- **Writing.** A colleague: Writes up the call and sends the follow-up, when there is time. An Allo agent: Writes the summary and drafts the follow-up while the next call comes in.

- **Judgment.** A colleague: Knows when to stop and bring someone else in. An Allo agent: Hands the call to a person when it needs a decision, with the whole story attached.

### What you are comparing us to

**If calls come to you** — The three things a missed call goes to today, and what changes with an Allo agent.

- **An AI receptionist.** Today: Answers the call, then hands you a transcript and a notification. With an Allo agent: Answers on your real number, books the job and writes it into your CRM.

- **Voicemail.** Today: Records the caller and waits for someone to listen back. With an Allo agent: Holds the conversation, captures the details and texts the customer back.

- **A person at the front desk.** Today: Covers the hours they work, and one call at a time. With an Allo agent: Covers the rest, and hands over the moment a call needs a person.

**If you call out** — What your reps use today to keep the line moving, and where the admin still lands.

- **A dialer.** Today: Gets through the list, and leaves the write-up to the rep. With an Allo agent: Keeps the rep on the line and writes the CRM as each call ends.

- **A rep doing the admin by hand.** Today: Spends the end of the day on notes, follow-ups and calendar invites. With an Allo agent: Gets the summary, the draft and the booked meeting waiting for review.

> **Where an Allo agent stops.** Today an Allo agent answers calls, it does not place them. Outbound dialing stays with your team, and an Allo agent does the work around it.

Miss a call and someone else books the job. Your AI receptionist picks up 24/7.

### It books the job

### It remembers the caller
A number that rang last week does not start over. It picks up with the history in front of it.

### It knows your business

### It's set up by asking
Ask for it in Allo's built-in chat, or from an AI client like Claude. It gets created and configured for you. (How to install the Allo MCP: /en/mcp)

## Questions people ask before they switch

### How much does Allo cost?
Starter is $18 a month for one user. Business is $35 per user a month billed annually, or $45 month to month. Ultra is $100 per user a month, through sales. One number per seat, unlimited texting and free porting are all in the price, with no setup fee. The AI receptionist is an add-on that takes one extra Business seat. There is no long contract either: you cancel whenever you like, and the first 30 days are money-back. [See the full pricing](https://www.withallo.com/pricing), or [what a text costs by country](/en/sms-pricing).

### Does it work with my CRM?
Yes. Allo syncs natively with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, GoHighLevel, Odoo and Google Sheets, and reaches everything else through Zapier, Make or the open API on Business and above. Calls, summaries, tags and texts land on the right record on their own, so nobody types a call into a CRM again. [Browse every integration](/integrations), or [connect Allo to Claude and your other AI clients](/en/mcp).

### Can I try it first, and how hard is the setup?
There is a 7-day free trial. You leave a card on file and it is only charged on day 7. Setup is guided and you do it yourself, no technical skills involved, and most teams are taking calls on Allo the same day. If you would rather hand it over, our team will set the whole thing up for you for a one-time fee.

### What does the AI receptionist actually do?
It answers when nobody on your team can, asks the caller what they need, books straight into your calendar, texts back the calls you miss, and writes every call into your CRM. It's an add-on that takes one extra Business seat, and it hands the call to a person the moment it needs one. Today it answers calls, it does not place them. [How the AI receptionist works](/product/ai-receptionist), and [what it does after the call](/product/post-call-actions).

### How does it work with several people?
Every seat comes with its own number, and you add or remove people whenever you like with no seat minimum. The team shares the same call history, the same tags and the same texts, so whoever picks up next can see what happened last time. You decide who rings and in what order: [call routing](/product/call-routing), [ringing everyone at once or one after another](/product/cascade-and-simultaneous-ring), and [a phone menu](/product/ivr) if you want callers to choose. Questions about a call stay [on the call itself](/product/threads), not in a separate chat.

### Can I keep my current number?
Yes, and porting is free in both directions. It takes a few business days and there is no downtime: you keep taking calls on your current service right up to the moment the number switches over. [What porting needs from you](/porting). If you would rather keep your current line and add one, [a second number](/product/second-phone-number) works too.

### Do I need special phones?
No hardware. Allo runs on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and the web, and one account follows you between them. If you would rather skip the app altogether, your Allo line can simply [ring your own mobile](/product/call-forwarding). [Download Allo](/download) for your platform, or [dial straight from your CRM](/product/click-to-call) in the browser.

### Can I text customers too?
Yes. Unlimited texting is included on every plan, from the same number your customers already call, and every message syncs to your CRM the way a call does. Missed calls get [a text back automatically](/product/missed-call-text-back) if you want them to. [How texting works in Allo](/product/sms), and [what a message costs by country](/en/sms-pricing).
