What the phone looks like for a Reading photography studio
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a photography studio working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A couple checking your date will ring the next photographer within the hour if nobody picks up.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading photography studios ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with photography studios outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
I am shooting all weekend. Is that the gap?
Exactly. Your busiest shooting days are the days couples ring, and a wedding booking is worth more than a year of this.
Can it check my availability?
Against your calendar, so a couple gets a straight yes or no on their date rather than a call back on Tuesday.
Will it quote?
Your package prices, then it books the consultation where the real conversation happens.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
