One big step toward sanity

A Rinkel plan goes beyond having a virtual landline number for WhatsApp Business. 
With a Rinkel plan, you’ll have access to features that growing businesses and entrepreneurs across the UK are benefiting from every day:
 

  • Business hours: only be reachable when you choose
  • Automated call forwarding: to available colleagues
  • Learn and improve on every call: with GDPR-compliant call recordings 
  • Opt-in for AI Insights: on customer sentiment, popular topics, and instant transcripts

Why use WhatsApp Business?

By getting your business on WhatsApp, you’re meeting customers where they’re already comfy—meaning they’re more likely to contact you, and you’re more likely to make more money. 

However, many entrepreneurs connect their private number to WhatsApp Business, meaning clients can call you anytime.  

Kick the problem to the curb by getting a virtual phone number for WhatsApp Business with Rinkel. This way, your personal number stays personal.
