What your callers ask

  • “What are your packages?”
  • “Do you do family portraits?”
  • “When will our photos be ready?”

How it works in Canada

  1. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss from the phone you already use. Your callers dial the number they know.

  2. Get a local number

    A local number in Canada in minutes, with no paperwork, for your website, card and signs.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in Canada usually speak English and French. 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

Inquiries come in on weekends, the days you shoot. Vicem answers then, so no inquiry waits until Monday for a first answer.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 911.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the inquiry: the date, the place and the kind of shoot. You check your calendar and confirm.

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