Thank you, that means a lot. Reliability is the thing we obsess over most, because a receptionist that misses calls is worse than none at all. The Beside team

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Saving you time and making your customers happy at the same time is exactly what we're going for, so this is great to read. The Beside team
After signing up with my credit card, email, phone number, and website, the system would not let me access my account. Multiple attempts to speak to a customer service representative were met with an "AI on repeat" telling me the same steps over and over ( which didn't help because I had to be in the account for those steps to work) I was unable to log in no matter what and over and over just kept being told a human would get back to me the next day. So far, no one has, and the chatbot keeps shutting off after they tell me this. SCAM.
