The phone still rings
after you clock off.
Nights, weekends, and holidays are when emergency work and next-morning bookings come in. Calleo answers all of it, books what can be booked, and texts you anything urgent.
Cover tonight's callsCallers don't wait until morning
An after-hours caller with a real problem keeps dialling until a business answers. Voicemail hands the job to a competitor.
You don't have to take the call
Calleo answers instead of you. Only calls you've marked urgent ring your phone, with the details already texted through.
Mornings start with bookings
Wake up to appointments on your calendar and transcripts of every conversation, instead of a list of numbers to call back.

After-hours questions
What is an after-hours answering service?
It's a service that picks up your business calls outside normal working hours — evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays — so callers reach someone instead of voicemail. Calleo does it with an AI receptionist that answers instantly, books appointments, and texts you the details.
How much does an after-hours answering service cost?
Traditional human answering services usually run $250–$600 a month for after-hours coverage, often with per-minute or per-call charges on top. Calleo starts at $99 a month with 250 answered minutes included.
Can I use it only after hours?
Yes. Forward your line to Calleo on a schedule — after 5pm, weekends, holidays, or only when you don't pick up. During business hours your phone rings as normal.
What happens to genuine emergencies at 2am?
You set the rules. Calleo can transfer urgent calls straight to your cell and text you the caller's details, while non-urgent calls get booked into the next working day.
