Dead Ringer: a British AI call assistant
Dead Ringer says it can answer missed calls and make routine calls for you, using a British-voiced assistant on your existing UK number.
- For
- UK callers who miss calls or avoid routine phone errands
- Worth noticing
- The setup describes a carrier divert code for busy or unanswered calls; the phone rings first, and one code switches forwarding off.
Field notes
The setup described uses a carrier divert rather than replacing the user's number: the phone rings first, and unanswered or busy calls can then be sent to the assistant. The site says one code arms forwarding and another turns it off, and describes a shared pool of minutes for incoming and outgoing calls. Its restaurant-booking scenario is presented as a worked example; the extracted homepage does not establish that the demonstrated call occurred.
