Do not take our word for it
Hear Edward answer a real call
Edward is our own front desk, not a recording. He calls you back in seconds, or dial him at (647) 424-1001. Ask him anything a customer would.
SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA aligned
Built for lockout and emergency calls
Answers every call, 24/7
Ansio picks up nights, weekends, and holidays with no voicemail, no hold queue, and no busy signal, so a locked-out caller never reaches a dead end.
Spots the emergency
Ansio flags lockouts and urgent calls from the words callers use, so a stranded driver or a homeowner shut out at night is handled as an emergency, not a routine message.
Dispatches to your on-call tech
Ansio texts and calls your on-call locksmith and keeps escalating until someone answers, so the job reaches a person fast instead of sitting in a voicemail box.
Captures the job details
Ansio gets the caller's location, the type of lock or key, the vehicle or property, and the callback number, so your tech arrives with what they need.
Books routine work
Rekeys, lock changes, and quotes get booked on your Google, Outlook, or Square calendar in real time, with an SMS confirmation before the call ends.
Speaks 30+ languages
Ansio recognizes the caller's language and switches mid-call, so a language barrier never costs you a lockout job.

The deal, in plain words
No contracts. Ever.
The only contract worth signing is a job you quoted. Ours doesn't exist. Stay while it books work. Leave any month, one click, no phone call.
Free for 3 days.
You're under a sink when the phone rings. For three days, Edward grabs it: caller helped, job booked, address texted to you. If it doesn't pay for itself, walk away.
Live the same day.
Sign up between jobs in the morning. By the afternoon, the calls you miss with both hands on a wrench get answered and booked. You don't lift a finger. Fitting.
Edward calls you back in seconds. Tell him a pipe burst. He won't flinch.

Locksmith answering service FAQs
What is a locksmith answering service?
A locksmith answering service answers calls on the business's behalf so no lockout or job is missed. Ansio does it with AI that answers 24/7, captures the caller's location and the type of lock or key, and dispatches to your on-call locksmith by the rules you set.
How does it handle a lockout call at 2am?
Ansio answers the call live, asks what happened, and recognizes a lockout or emergency from what the caller says. It captures their location and the lock or key details, then texts and calls your on-call locksmith and keeps escalating until one answers.
How does it reach my on-call locksmith?
Ansio sends an SMS with the job details and places a call to your on-call tech. If the first person does not answer, it moves to the next in the escalation order you set, so an urgent call does not stall.
Is this a live operator or an AI answering service?
Ansio is an AI telephone answering service, not a call center of human operators. It answers every call itself, captures the job, dispatches emergencies to your on-call locksmith, and books routine work on your calendar.
How much does it cost?
Ansio is a flat monthly subscription starting at $39/month with call minutes and SMS included, so you always know what you are paying — a wild night of lockout calls costs the same as a quiet one. No contract, cancel anytime.
How fast can I get set up?
You are live the same day. You forward your existing number to Ansio and add your on-call tech, with no new hardware, no new line, and no contract.

The questions every owner asks first
Fair concerns about handing your calls to an AI helper. Here are the straight answers.
Will my customers know they are talking to a computer?
Most do not, and you can hear it before you trust it. Edward calls you back in seconds, so tell him a pipe burst and listen to how he handles it. He answers in a natural voice, speaks 30+ languages, and when a job needs you, he texts you the details instead of fumbling it.
What if it cannot handle an emergency call the right way?
Ansio listens for the urgent ones, books the routine work onto your calendar, and for a true emergency it texts your on-call tech the details with a live ETA, retrying until someone answers. Every call is recorded and transcribed, so nothing about that 2am call is a mystery in the morning.
Am I locked in, and how hard is it to set up?
No contract, ever. Flat pricing from about $39 a month with call minutes included, cancel anytime in one click. Forward your number between jobs in the morning and you are live by the afternoon, no hardware, no IT. Try it free for 3 days on your real line first.
Win the lockout call before the next shop does
Forward your number and Ansio answers every lockout 24/7, grabs the address, and rings your on-call locksmith until a human says they have it. Live the same day, one flat monthly price, cancel anytime. Your phone stops being a missed-money machine.
