Frequently asked questions
Short answers; the link in each answer leads to the detailed page.
General
What is Ringwise?
A managed service that answers your business calls 24/7 with Sophie, an English-speaking AI receptionist. We do the setup, the script and the upkeep; you provide the information. Details: product page.
Does the assistant say it is an AI?
Yes. Every call opens with a short notice that the caller is speaking to an AI assistant and how the call is processed.
Which languages does it speak?
Sophie speaks English and is configured and tested with you at setup. For Türkiye we offer Aslı in Turkish.
What if it does not know the answer?
It does not guess. It takes the caller's name, number and question, says your team will get back to them and passes the request on immediately.
Who updates the assistant when our information changes?
We do. When prices, availability or hours change you tell us and we update the script. Peak Season includes weekly updates.
Does it integrate with our CRM?
No ready-made integration. Call results can be sent to your own system via webhook or API at setup; everything also appears in your own panel.
Number and setup
Does it work with our existing number?
Yes. Your number stays with your provider; it works via call forwarding, and you decide when the assistant steps in. How it works.
Is forwarding charged?
It depends on your provider and tariff and is not part of the package; we clarify it for your line in the setup call. If you publish the number allocated to you directly, no forwarding charges apply.
How long does setup take?
Around 4–6 weeks after signing. We need answers to your frequent questions, prices and hours, and someone to join the test calls.
How do we stop the service?
The moment you switch forwarding off, calls ring only on your phone. Termination terms are in the contract; Starter and Standard prices are for a 12-month term.
Capacity
How many calls at once?
Up to 10 in every package; the number is written in the contract. When all lines are busy a new call cannot connect and is not queued.
What about our busy months?
Peak Season is built for that: 2,000 minutes, minimum 2 months. Tell us when the season starts and we switch you in time.
Appointments, SMS, WhatsApp
Does it take appointments?
Yes, in Standard and Peak Season. It takes the request (name, phone, day and time) and passes it to your team instantly. The Google Calendar connection and confirmation SMS are configured at setup.
Does it send SMS?
Yes. An information SMS to the caller in every package; appointment confirmations and reminders in Standard and Peak Season. SMS charges are not part of the package.
Is WhatsApp available?
Not today; messages go by SMS. WhatsApp can be added as an optional, separately priced module that requires Meta approval.
Callbacks
Does it call customers back for us?
Yes, in Standard and Peak Season: it calls back people who asked, at the times you set; the time counts against package minutes. Our outbound setup was used live: Between 12 and 24 March 2026, 576 outbound calls were made to 423 businesses on behalf of an alarm company in Türkiye; 251 resulted in a conversation. Marketing calls are made only to contacts you may lawfully call.
Which number shows on a callback?
The number allocated to you; when someone calls it back, the assistant answers. Your mobile number is not shown.
Recordings and data
Where are recordings stored?
Live audio is processed by US-based sub-processors; transcripts and summaries are stored in our EU (Frankfurt) database. If recording is on, the file is stored by default in the call platform's US storage; recording can be switched off. Retention is set in the contract. Details: data protection.
What agreement do you offer?
Your business is the data controller and Apeka Group Limited (Ringwise) the processor. We sign a data processing agreement that covers sub-processors, retention and transfer safeguards.
Who can access the records?
The users you authorise, through the login-protected panel. Each business's data is separated by row-level access rules; the Ringwise team accesses it only to run the service and provide support.
