KT has launched a new product for small business owners: the ‘AI (Artificial Intelligence) Phone’ service. It allows call forwarding to an app even when outside the store, and when it is difficult to answer calls, AI answers the calls on behalf of the store. It also provides a greeting message feature that can guide customers.

On the 3rd, KT announced the release of new products equipped with these features: ‘AI Call Secretary’ and ‘AI Phone’. The ‘AI Phone’ is an all-in-one product that, with a single subscription, provides the wired phone needed for the store, ‘AI Call Secretary Lite’, and up to 30 minutes of free calls. ‘AI Call Secretary Lite’ is an AI service for store phones, offering features such as AI greetings, call forwarding, call log checking, missed call AI memos, and sending text messages via the app.

The included 30 minutes of free calls cover local and long-distance calls, internet calls, wireless calls, as well as wireless calls connected to other carriers. This helps reduce additional store phone charges due to call forwarding. The monthly fee for ‘AI Phone’ is 9,900 KRW including VAT with a 3-year contract. The first month’s fee is free. KT is holding an event this month offering prizes worth 20,000 KRW to new customers to celebrate the launch.

Choi Joon-gi, head of KT’s AI/Big Data Business Division, said, “By launching the AI Phone, KT has made it possible for many small business owners to use store phones and AI services at a more affordable price,” and added, “KT will continue to develop AI services that help small business owners.”
