A test call, word for word.
Hey, do you have room for a skin fade and a beard trim this morning? I could be there around 10:15.
I can hold the next chair for you. What’s your first name?
Jordan. How much will that be?
A skin fade is $34, and a beard trim is $18, so that’s $52 total. Would you like me to hold the next chair for you at 10:15?

Yes please. Oh, and can I bring my son in tomorrow for a cut too? He's eight.
Got it, Jordan: I’ll hold the next chair for your skin fade and beard trim at 10:15 this morning. That’s $52 total. We can’t do kids’ cuts on Saturdays. Would another day work for your son?
Tuesday after school, then. Around 4?
Tuesday works for kids’ cuts. We’re open until 7, and his cut is $22. We don’t take appointments, but you can walk in or call ahead to hold the next chair. Would you like to do that?

Questions
Yes, into Google Calendar, for shops that book. It checks the free slots, offers one and reads it back.
Yes. Calder Barbers here is walk-in only: the line quotes prices and holds the next chair for someone on their way. It knows your rules, like no kids’ cuts on Saturdays, your closing time and your cancellation fee.
Only if you ask it to. Out of the box it quotes what the caller asks for, adds it up and stops. A complaint, a big booking or anything else you name can ring you instead.
Not yet. Texting from US numbers needs a carrier registration and is still in beta. Today it reads the details back on the call.
200 calls of two minutes each cost about $23.60 a month on Free: $1 for the number, $24.28 for 400 answered minutes and $0.24 for the agent, less the $5 of usage Free includes, plus its 15% fee on the funds that pay the rest.
After every call, the line sends you one short message: who called, why, and what it promised them. It comes on WhatsApp or iMessage, wherever you text NoClick, and by email until you do. Calls are recorded only where you turn recording on; callers then hear “This call is recorded.” first, and the audio is kept in your NoClick files, where you can delete it.
Yes. It stays with your carrier: you forward the calls you don’t answer to your NoClick line, or give the new number out instead. Verizon: *71, then your line’s 10-digit number; *73 stops it. Use all 10 digits, area code included. T-Mobile: **61*1, then your line’s 10-digit number, then #; ##61# stops it. **67*1, the number and # forward the calls that come while you’re on another call; **62*1, the number and # the ones that come while your phone is off or has no signal; ##004# puts every kind of forwarding back. AT&T: on a Samsung Galaxy, Phone app, Settings, Calling accounts, your SIM, Call forwarding, When unanswered. AT&T publishes no dial code for the calls you don’t answer: *21*, the number and # forward every call, and #21# stops that. It bills forwarded calls for their length, and forwarding replaces your voicemail. On an iPhone, turn Live Voicemail off first (Settings, Phone). Your carrier may bill forwarded calls as minutes on your plan.
No. The number is billed monthly until you release it, and calls are paid from funds you add, at what they cost NoClick. Free adds a 15% fee when you add funds; there's no monthly plan to buy. The first time, you add $10 of funds, and the number is $1 once when it’s bought.
