Questions

Can I keep my 04 number?

Yes. Forward it to Hello and callers keep ringing the number they know. You can also move a landline to Hello later.

Will callers see an Auckland number?

Not if they ring your existing number. Callers see the number they dialled. Your Hello number is an 09 number, which you only need to share if you want to.

Is it cheaper than a receptionist?

SEEK lists an average Wellington receptionist salary of NZ$70,050. Hello Team is NZ$3,588 + GST a year. Many businesses use both: their receptionist for the front counter, Hello for overflow and after hours.

Does Hello know Wellington Anniversary Day?

Set your holiday hours in the app and Hello tells callers when you're open again.
