An answering service for Fort Smith and the river valley
Fort Smith sits right on the Arkansas River and the Oklahoma line, so you might get calls from two states in one afternoon. Brook, Ringbrook's AI, answers your 479 number and texts you every one.
An AI receptionist, not a local call center
Ringbrook has no office in Fort Smith. We're a small company across the state line in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and Brook answers over the internet for businesses in any state. Your customers keep calling your 479 number.
The calls a river valley business misses
A caller who gets voicemail often just calls the next name on the list. Brook picks up instead, asks questions written for your trade, and texts you the job.
Also for businesses in Van Buren, Barling, Greenwood, Alma, and Roland and Pocola on the Oklahoma side.
Heavy rain and high water
The river valley remembers the 2019 Arkansas River flood. When water is coming in right now, Brook flags it as an emergency and gets the callback number first.

Your customers keep dialing your 479 number
Nothing changes on your truck, your yard signs or your Google listing. You dial one short code from your phone (two on Pine Cellular), and the calls you don't pick up (no answer, busy or phone off) go to your Ringbrook number. Ringbrook numbers are 580 numbers right now; callers never have to see or dial it.

What Fort Smith business owners ask
Is Ringbrook in Fort Smith?
No. Ringbrook is a small Oklahoma company based in Broken Bow. Brook answers over the internet, so she works the same for a Fort Smith shop as for one anywhere in the US.
I get calls from Oklahoma and Arkansas. Can Brook handle both?
Yes. She always asks for the job address, so you see the town and state in your text. If you only work certain towns, list them in your setup and she can tell callers where you go.
What about my Arkansas carrier?
AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and the brands that run on them all work. Most landlines use the *71 code. Your dashboard shows the exact code for your carrier with your Ringbrook number filled in.
Is it really an AI answering?
Yes. Brook is an AI. If a caller asks, she says she's an AI assistant that answers the phone for your business. Every call is recorded and written out on your dashboard, so you can hear exactly what she said.
