What is First Voice?
First Voice (FirstVoice AI) is an AI receptionist service that answers business calls 24/7, books appointments into your calendar and calls new leads back typically within 60 seconds, fully set up and managed for you. It launched in New Zealand in 2025 and is now part of OneAdsphere.
Does it work for Australian businesses?
Yes. First Voice works with businesses in Australia, on a new local Australian number or your existing number with call forwarding, and can keep your call data in Australia instead of New Zealand if you prefer.
How much does it cost in Australia?
First Voice publishes its plans in New Zealand dollars. For Australian businesses we confirm the price in Australian dollars on a call, plus GST, before anything is set up. Setup is included, it runs month to month with no lock-in contract, and there is a free 2-week trial on your real calls.
Is it legal to have AI call my leads in Australia?
Calling someone who has just asked to be contacted about your service is contact they agreed to. The Australian rules still apply: calls only in the telemarketing hours (weekdays 9am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, no Sundays or national public holidays), the caller says who it is and why, and texts carry a STOP option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Does it sound like a robot?
No. It speaks naturally and handles interruptions. Ring +64 9 875 3924 (a New Zealand number) to hear First Voice’s own AI receptionist, or play the recorded calls on this page. If a caller asks whether they are talking to a person, it says it is an AI assistant.
Where is call data stored?
In New Zealand by default, on infrastructure First Voice runs itself, or in another region such as Australia if you prefer. Only you and the people you give a login to can see it, and it is never sold.
How is this different from the Pickup System?
The AI receptionist and speed-to-lead work on the calls and leads you already get, for a monthly plan. The Pickup System also finds the leads: we run the ads, AI calls each lead, and you pay AU $150 + GST per confirmed appointment.
