AI receptionists for Mississippi businesses
Yes. We build and manage AI receptionists for Mississippi businesses, managed for you end to end from our studio in Kalispell, Montana. Mississippi is a one-party consent state under Miss. Code Ann. 41-29-531(e), so a business on the call may record it without telling the caller. No Mississippi statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI. Your agent answers in Central time, on the number you already have or a new local Mississippi number.

Recording a call in Mississippi
Mississippi is a one-party consent state. A party may record. The official code is Lexis-hosted; read on FindLaw (current to 2025-01-01).
“A person not acting under color of law who intercepts a wire, oral or other communication if the person is a party to the communication, or if one (1) of the parties to the communication has given prior consent”
Does it have to say it is AI in Mississippi?
No Mississippi statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI.
The Mississippi greeting we recommend
“Thanks for calling [your business]. You have reached our AI receptionist, and this call is recorded. How can I help?”
- Mississippi requires neither line. Both stay in: a caller dialing from California or Washington brings an all-party rule onto the call.
