What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth security company
Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a security company working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A site that needs cover tonight will use whoever answers, and that contract often becomes a long one.
Callwise answers on your own 023 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.

Portsmouth security companies ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 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 Portsmouth customers reach you changes.
Do you work with security companies outside Portsmouth?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire 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.
Can it handle short notice cover requests?
It takes the site, the hours and the requirement and reaches your operations manager immediately, at whatever hour the call comes.
Is it suitable for live incidents?
Anything on your incident list bypasses everything and alerts your control room within seconds.
Will it take installation enquiries?
Yes, with the site type and what they want covered, and it books the survey.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth 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.
