A new project enquiry arrives mid-deadline
Let the call go to your custom greeting, scan the emailed transcript, and decide whether it needs an immediate response.
Freelancers business phone
A business phone number that keeps freelance work off your personal line
Publish one professional number for client calls without giving every prospect your private mobile number. Forward calls when you are available and read AI voicemail transcripts when you are focused on paid work.
No credit card required. The trial uses a shared line with a PIN.
The problem Recorder solves for freelancers
Freelancers need to look reachable without allowing work calls to interrupt every project, meeting, and evening. Recorder creates a boundary: clients call the business line, while you decide when the call should reach your phone.
Three calls that should not derail the day
An existing client calls during a meeting
The client reaches the same professional number and leaves context without learning or redialling your personal number.
You open availability for calls
Forward incoming calls to your phone for a chosen ring time, then fall back to voicemail if you cannot answer.
Before, during, and after
A call workflow built around the work
Before the call
Set a clear client-facing line
Choose a number in US, UK, and Canada after subscribing and create a greeting in English, Spanish, and French that explains when you will respond.
During the call
Answer only when it suits the work
Use forwarding when you are available. Otherwise, let the greeting collect the caller’s name, need, and deadline.
After the call
Triage without replaying every message
Read the transcript in email or your dashboard, then use the original recording whenever exact wording matters.

Accountants and Bookkeepers
Accounting and bookkeeping calls can surge around filing deadlines, while the work itself demands concentration. Recorder gives routine inbound calls a clear place to land, but it is not a client portal and callers should never use voicemail for sensitive financial or identity data.

Coaches sell attention. Publishing a personal number can blur the line between accessible and always available, while an unanswered personal call gives prospects no context about when they will hear back.

Solo founders want the trust and learning that phone access can create, but they cannot stop shipping every time a user calls. A simple inbound line creates a channel without turning the product into a contact-centre project.
