An AI receptionist add-on is not a phone system.
OneBookPlus is an Australian bookings, invoicing and CRM platform, and its AI Receptionist is an add-on you divert your calls to. Uniden Voice is the phone system itself, with AI Agents, staff apps, desk phones and call routing built in.

OneBookPlus is a tidy, local, affordable platform
OneBookPlus bundles bookings, invoicing, CRM and point of sale for small business, hosted in AWS Sydney. Its AI Receptionist books straight into its own calendar, replies by SMS and speaks more than ten languages. If your business already runs on OneBookPlus, the add-on is a neat fit.

Great for bookings. Not built to run your phones.
The AI Receptionist answers calls you divert to it. Your team, your handsets, your queues and your other lines still live somewhere else.
01
🧩
Three layers of subscription
The AI Receptionist is $79 a month, requires AI Companion at $25 a month, and sits on a paid plan from $29 a month. Your phone service is still extra.
02
↪
You divert your line to it
You keep your existing number by diverting it to the OneBookPlus number. That is a rule at your telco, a second number, and a second place for things to go wrong.
03
👥
No team phone system
We could find no published extensions, ring groups, call queues, IVR, desk phones or staff softphone apps. Live call takeover is from your own phone, not a routed transfer to a team.
An AI agent needs a phone system underneath it. You can buy two, or one.
OneBookPlus is strongest inside its own booking app. Uniden Voice runs the phone calls for the whole team, with AI in front of them.

What happens when the caller needs a real person?
This is where AI-only services show the join. An AI agent that lives inside your phone system puts the caller straight through to the right team, on the same system.

Six reasons AI belongs inside the phone system
One number, no forwarding chain
Calls land on your Uniden Voice number and the AI answers there. No divert from your telco to a second supplier, no extra hop, no caller ID lost along the way.
Transfers that reach a person
The agent transfers into a team, queue or extension on the same system, warm, with the context spoken. Not a fresh outbound call to someone's mobile.
Routing decides when AI answers
Point a time condition, an IVR option or a queue overflow at the agent. AI takes after hours and the overflow while your team keeps the calls they want.
Your team is on the same system
Desk phones, the Desktop App and the Mobile App all share one call log, so staff see the AI's recording, transcript and summary where they already work.
One bill, one support line
Phones, numbers, AI and integrations come from one Australian provider. When something is wrong there is one number to call and no finger pointing.
Priced for small business
Unlimited AI agents from $49 a week on top of your phone plan. Talk time by the minute, bundles to bring it down, and no contract.
Uniden Voice vs OneBookPlus: common questions
Does OneBookPlus replace my business phone system?
No. The OneBookPlus AI Receptionist answers calls you divert to a OneBookPlus number. It does not publish extensions, ring groups, queues, desk phones or staff softphone apps, so your team still needs a phone system. Uniden Voice is the phone system with AI Agents built in.
What does the OneBookPlus AI Receptionist cost?
As published, the AI Receptionist is $79 a month and requires AI Companion at $25 a month, on top of a OneBookPlus plan from $29 a month, with a monthly conversation allowance and top ups after that. Uniden Voice AI Agents are from $49 a week for unlimited agents, with talk time billed by the minute.
Can Uniden Voice book appointments like OneBookPlus?
Yes. Inbound AI skills have their own booking calendar, so an agent can take an appointment, send an SMS confirmation from your business number and post the outcome to your system by webhook.
Can I keep my number with Uniden Voice?
Yes. We port your existing numbers across, free, so the AI answers on the number your customers already know. No divert to a second number is needed.
Put the AI where the calls already live.
One phone system for the team, AI Agents in front of it, and your numbers ported free. Book a demo or sign up online.
