Give your property a number that actually answers.
The phone rings at 1am. Something answers.
Guests still call — about the door code, the heating, where to park. Connect Twilio and ProhostAI can put a real number behind your properties that answers calls and texts, at the hours nobody wants to be on call.
integrationsPage.detail.overview
Phone is the channel property managers most want to avoid and least can. Guests who are standing outside a door that will not open do not open an app; they ring the number on the booking. That call arrives on somebody’s personal mobile, often at an hour when no one is working.
Connecting Twilio gives that call somewhere to land. A number of your own answers, understands what the guest is asking, and handles the things that come up over and over — codes, wifi, check-in times, parking — using what it knows about that specific stay. What it should not handle, it passes on, with the context already gathered.
The same number carries SMS, which is often the better channel anyway: a door code sent as a text is easier to use than one repeated down a phone line.

Twilio is the carrier behind AI Phone. Once connected, calls and texts to your number are handled inside ProhostAI.
Read
- Receive calls and texts — Inbound conversations reach ProhostAI with the stay they relate to already attached.
- Keep a record — Calls and messages stay on the conversation history, so the next person to pick it up sees what happened.
Create & update
- Answer the routine questions — Codes, wifi, check-in and check-out, parking — handled from the details of that booking. “Hi, I’m outside and the code isn’t working.”
- Send SMS — Text a code, a confirmation or a reminder from the same number.
- Escalate to a person — Pass anything that needs a human on, with the call’s context already gathered.

integrationsPage.detail.goodToKnow
Twilio bills you directly for numbers, calls and messages. That usage cost is separate from your ProhostAI subscription.
Number availability and the rules around them vary by country — some require registered business details or a local address before a number can be issued.
SMS to some countries requires sender registration. Twilio’s documentation covers what each destination needs, and it is worth checking before promising guests a text.
Decide early which calls should be escalated. Anything involving a payment dispute or a safety issue is usually worth a person.
