A useful enquiry starts with the right location
When work takes you beyond Ballymena, a missed-call notification may leave you with several questions. Your AI receptionist asks for the job address, what the caller needs and when they can be reached. Those details arrive in a text to help prepare your callback.
For example, someone could ring about work outside town while you are already on another job. Asking for a postcode and a description of the request gives you useful information without interrupting the work in front of you.
The service is configured by Stephen McLaughlin, who runs EdgeAudit from Derry. Calls are answered by AI in your business name, day and night, using the routine information you approve.
Town calls and enquiries further along the A26
For enquiries in Ballymena or further along the A26 towards Antrim and Coleraine, the job address matters more than the caller’s phone number. We can include a request for a postcode and a suitable callback time, so you have both the location and the best way to follow up.
Your existing number stays with its provider. We set up forwarding before going live, including what happens if your mobile is unreachable. See the forwarding guide.
Front Desk is £249 a month and Front Desk Plus is £449, with set-up included, no per-call charges and 30-day rolling contracts. Read the plan details. Where your booking system is connected, it books people straight into your diary. If it can’t be connected, it takes the booking and sends it straight to you.

Call answering in Ballymena: common questions
Something else on your mind? Ask on the free chat, or ring Stephen on 07926 144173.
Do you cover Ballymena and the surrounding area?
Yes. We answer for businesses in Ballymena and the places around it, including work towards Antrim and Coleraine. Stephen sets it up from Derry and it works over the number you already have.
Can it ask for an address when the caller only gives a place name?
Yes. We include a request for the address or postcode and a callback number in your call flow. If a place name is unfamiliar, it asks the caller to clarify or repeat it, and we test examples from your service area before launch.
What happens if my mobile has no signal outside Ballymena?
Calls still go to the receptionist. We set up forwarding for when your phone can’t be reached, and the enquiry text arrives as soon as you’re back in signal.
What happens with an enquiry outside my service area?
We agree your coverage and what to say about requests beyond it. The receptionist can use your approved wording or take the details for you to review when the location is unclear. This lets you keep the service area you need rather than accepting every enquiry along the A26.
Can I hear an example before setting up my Ballymena number?
Yes. Try the demonstration to hear the AI voice and the sort of questions it can ask. Your own greeting and questions are agreed with you, then tested through your existing number before launch, and you’re live in a day.
