FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does ReceptionHQ cost?

Their published pricing page lists MessageExpress from £15/month, MyReceptionist from £16, and MyAssistant and MyDiary from £30, excluding VAT, with a 7-day free trial (checked 9 August 2026). The included call volumes aren't stated alongside those figures, so the real monthly cost depends on your usage.

How is RedAgents priced differently?

Flat monthly with the minutes printed next to the price: £29 for 100 minutes, £69 for 300, £115 for 600. No per-call charge on top, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.

Do both keep my existing number?

Yes — with us you set up a divert so only the calls you miss come through, and your published number never changes. Check their current terms for how theirs works.
