How it works in the Netherlands

  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.

  2. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in the Netherlands usually speak Dutch. 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

Leaks and power cuts happen at night. Vicem answers at any hour, asks what’s wrong and where, and tells you right away when a caller says it’s an emergency.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the job request: the address, the problem and the times the customer is home. You decide when you can go.

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