Moneypenny

UK number

Yes

The AI receptionist page says there is no need to change your number: they provide a number to divert to when you go live. The same page publishes 0330 demo lines and describes the service as 100% UK-based.

Keep an existing number: their page says yes.

• AI Receptionist

  £49 a month · allowance not published

  Visible copy says get started from £49 a month. The FAQ says the price is built around what you need and to talk to them, and that the AI is often up to 65% less than their people-first answering. No minute or call allowance is published. A schema.org Offer in the page source lists 25 GBP a month. We do not treat that hidden figure as the price.

Illustration, not a score

150 calls. Minute-priced plans use our assumption of 3 minutes each. Call-priced plans use 150 calls and ignore that assumption. Setup fees are left out. This does not change the public-facts number.

• AI Receptionist: not calculated. The page does not publish both an allowance and an overage we can apply. 150 calls. Where the plan is priced in minutes, we assume 3 minutes each (450 minutes). That duration is ours, not the vendor's. Setup fees are left out.

Trial and lines you can ring

You can ring their industry demo lines without an account. The page says that after the demo they will be in touch. Starting a line for your own firm is a quote form. We did not see a no-card trial of your own receptionist.
