Already started? Return to your saved setupCedri is an AI phone receptionist for small businesses in Canada. It answers the business line in English and French, books the appointment during the call, and texts the details to the owner and to the customer. In Ontario it works the same way in Toronto, the GTA, Ottawa, London or Thunder Bay: a new line is searched in your own area code first, or you keep your number and forward it. One plan for all of Canada: $18.99 CAD a month, 30 answered calls included.
A local Ontario number, or your own
When you set up a new line, the number search opens on the area code of your business’s city: 416 in Toronto, 905 in Richmond Hill, 613 in Ottawa. Depending on the numbers available, it may offer a nearby code instead, and it says where each number rings. The regions it opens on:
- Toronto: 416
- GTA, Hamilton, Niagara: 905
- Ottawa and East: 613
- London, Kitchener, Windsor: 519
- Central and North: 705
- Thunder Bay and Northwest: 807
Every Ontario area code
The search knows all of them: 416, 647, 437, 942, 905, 289, 365, 742, 613, 343, 753, 519, 226, 548, 382, 705, 249, 683, 807. Would you rather keep the number your customers already have? Forward it to your Cedri line, every call or only the ones you miss. The call forwarding guide has the steps for Bell, Rogers, TELUS, Freedom, Virgin Plus and Cogeco, from each company’s own site.
English and French on the same line
Your line answers in its main language. When a caller speaks French, or asks for it, Cedri carries on in French on the same call, with no menu to press through, then asks your trade’s questions and books the appointment. How the bilingual line works.
Your customers’ information in Ontario
Ontario has no general private-sector privacy law of its own: the federal law, PIPEDA, applies to the personal information a business collects in its commercial activities, and Ontario’s PHIPA covers health information held by health care providers. Where Cedri keeps call data: Your bookings and customer records live in Canada. Your call audio and its transcript pass through the United States. Security.
