Built for Australian local businesses
An after hours phone answering service is a service that answers your business calls while you are closed: weeknights, weekends and public holidays. Callers reach someone who can help, so urgent jobs and new bookings are not lost to voicemail.
With RingOut, Miya covers those hours as an AI receptionist. She answers in your business name, books available times into your calendar and flags urgent calls with the caller's details. Callers in danger are directed to 000 first, and your team handles the follow-up.
Caller, 9:42 pm: "Water is coming through our ceiling. Can someone come out?"
Miya marked the call urgent and saved the address and number.
Call outcome
After-hours calls are often the urgent ones. Voicemail loses them; an after hours answering service keeps them.
A weeknight
Water is coming through a ceiling. The plumber is home, the phone rings out and the customer calls a competitor.
With MiyaAnswered, address saved and flagged urgent.
A weekend
A client wants a cut next week. The salon is not open on weekends, so she books somewhere else.
With MiyaBooked for Tuesday with her usual stylist.
A public holiday
A pet owner rings a vet clinic on Boxing Day. Nobody answers, so they drive to another practice.
With MiyaAdvice given and a visit booked for tomorrow.
Four jobs happen on every after-hours call.

The agency is closed when this tenant rings about a broken oven. Miya logs the repair so the property manager finds it first thing.

With after hours call answering in place, six things change from the first night.
Calls after 5 pm are often the urgent, ready-to-book ones. Miya answers them before the caller tries the next business on Google.
No checking voicemail at dinner. Urgent calls are flagged, and everything else waits calmly for your morning list.
Night-time callers are booked into free slots, so your day starts with work lined up instead of call-backs.
Christmas, Easter and long weekends are covered by the same plan. Holiday calls use your normal minutes.
A flat monthly plan replaces per-call fees. You know the cost of night cover before the month starts.
Every call has an outcome label, so a two-minute scan each morning shows exactly what happened while you were closed.
Pricing for any after hours answering service Australia wide is either per call or per month. RingOut is per month: four plans in AUD, ex GST, with no setup fee.
