VeraDial

VeraDial combines an AI receptionist with a dedicated US or Canadian business number for freelancers and small businesses. Vera answers incoming business calls, responds to routine questions using a business profile, takes messages and connects callers through. Owners can review call transcripts and summaries in the iPhone app, Android app and web dashboard. The service helps people keep business and personal communications separate while staying reachable when they are working, with customers, or away from their phone.

The core business phone service includes voicemail transcription, call recording and forwarding. Business SMS is available subject to fair use, number eligibility and carrier registration. VeraDial uses real business numbers and supports verified caller ID using numbers a customer controls. AI answering is available around the clock within plan allowances and fair use; that is separate from staffed human support hours.

Vera Plus adds outbound AI calling, live translation, Google Calendar appointment booking, and training from documents and websites. It also offers a native Zapier integration and signed event webhooks for eligible workflows. An OAuth-authenticated connector lets ChatGPT and Claude read account records, including calls, screening summaries, voicemail transcripts and texts. The connector is read-only: it cannot place calls, send texts or change settings.

VeraDial is designed for freelancers, contractors, field-service operators, real estate agents and small-business owners who need calls answered while doing their work. Common uses include capturing missed-call messages, handling frequent business questions, forwarding callers, managing voicemail and separating business calls from a personal number. Appointment booking and outbound AI calling are available on eligible plans.

Plans start at $14.99 USD per account per month. The Lite and Plus plans have a seven-day trial; web checkout requires a credit or debit card. Calling minutes are finite, and unlimited receptionist answering on Plus and Business is subject to fair use. Activation requires a US or Canadian mobile number. VeraDial is available on iOS and Android and serves businesses in the United States and Canada.
