Business telephony in the same environment as your inbox
Business telephony via the internet (VoIP) means: a fixed business number without a telephone exchange in the meter cupboard. With Slimbot you get an 085 number or local number, make calls from the browser or app, set up a menu and call forwarding, and can have an AI receptionist answer each line. All in the same account as your WhatsApp, e-mail and website chat.

What is business VoIP telephony?
VoIP stands for Voice over IP: calling via the internet instead of via a copper telephone line. For a business, this means: your number is in the cloud, and you call with what you already have. A laptop with headset, your mobile or a fixed device that works via the internet. No telephone exchange is needed that someone has to maintain.
The big advantage for SMEs is flexibility. The number belongs to the business, not to one team member. Anyone authorised to answer can do so from the office, home or on the go. And because the call runs through software, it can also be transcribed and summarised.
Why telephony in Slimbot?
Most businesses have telephony separate from the rest of their customer contact: a calling provider here, a mailbox there, WhatsApp on a phone. In Slimbot, the phone is in the same account as your team inbox. The summary of the last conversation with a customer appears in their timeline in the inbox, next to the last WhatsApp message.
- One account for calls, WhatsApp, e-mail and website chat.
- Your number and your colleagues', without private numbers as a business line.
- Choose per line: your team answers, or the AI receptionist.
- Call scripts and a call-back list for follow-up and callbacks, with the outcome recorded in one tap.
Which telephony solution suits your business?
- Freelancer or small team: one 085 or local number, call via the app and forward to your mobile. The AI receptionist answers when you are busy.
- Team with an office: a menu to sales or service, multiple forward numbers in order and calling from the browser.
- Business with lots of call-back work: call scripts and a follow-up task list, linked to the same customer data.
What Slimbot phone answering doesn't do
We prefer to be honest upfront. With an 085 number you cannot receive SMS. A queue with hold music for incoming callers and routing based on opening hours are not currently available; for that you use the menu and forwarding numbers. And the AI receptionist speaks Dutch.
