How it works in the UAE

  1. Give out your Vicem number

    Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.

Callers in the UAE usually speak Arabic, English, and Hindi. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

Clients in other time zones call at odd hours. Vicem answers at any hour, and you read the messages on your own time.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 999.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the request for a call: who, what about and the times that suit them. You confirm the time.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.
