Example call to Swift Locksabout 1 min
Hi, you've reached Swift Locks. I'm Lee's AI assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?
I'm locked out, the key's snapped in the front door.
Sorry, that's stressful. Is anyone vulnerable inside, like a child or someone unwell?
No, just me outside.
Okay. What's your name and the exact address, and what kind of lock is it?
Tom Reid, 3 Mill Court, SE15 2AB. It's a uPVC door.
Thanks Tom. I've sent Lee an urgent alert and he'll call you back as soon as he can.

The problem

Locked-out callers ring until someone picks up. If it isn't you, it's the next locksmith on the list.

Answers 24 hours a day

Unlimited calls at any hour for one monthly price. No per-minute bills for the busy weekends.

Urgent jobs straight to your phone

Lockouts are flagged urgent with the address in one text. Putting callers straight through to you is switching on during the pilot.

Spam and time-wasters filtered

Sales calls and robocalls are turned away, so the texts you get at 2am are real jobs.

What Hello Anytime asks your callers

The questions you'd ask, every time.

You can change these in the app. Hello Anytime asks them naturally and never makes up an answer. Other languages are being tested in the pilot.

  • Is anyone vulnerable inside or at risk? (If yes: ring 999)
  • Exact address and where they are now
  • Door and lock type
  • Name and a number that works
  • Car, house or business
After the call

Get paid, and get the next job.

One tap on any job sends the right text in your business name. Replies come straight to you, and anyone can reply STOP. "On my way" and "ready" texts are live; scheduled reminders and quote chasing are switching on during the pilot.

  • "On my way, 20 minutes" text in one tap
  • Payment reminder for account customers Switching on in pilot
  • Lock upgrade quote chase Switching on in pilot
  • Call back from your business number
Questions from locksmith businesses

Straight answers.

More in the main FAQ, or ask the chat.

What if someone's in danger?

Hello Anytime tells the caller to ring 999 first. It is not an emergency service.

Can it tell the caller my price?

Only the "from" prices you add, like "call-out from £75", always saying you'll confirm the final price.

Will it answer while I'm on another job?

Yes. Your phone rings first; if you don't answer, Hello Anytime picks up.

Do I keep my number?

Yes. Customers keep ringing your usual number. You forward only the calls you miss to a Hello Anytime number we give you, which your customers never need to know.

When does Hello Anytime answer?

Your phone rings first. If you don't pick up (usually after 15 to 30 seconds; the divert code lets you choose), the call goes to Hello Anytime. You can also send every call straight to Hello Anytime, for example at night, and switch it back with a short code.

What about a landline?

Mobiles use one short code. Landlines divert differently depending on your provider, and some (like BT) may charge for it. We'll help you set it up.
