Getting Started

Create your Nexwin account in minutes — choose a plan, enter your details, verify your card, and pick a local Australian phone number for your AI receptionist.

Registration overview

Nexwin offers two products. The registration flow differs slightly depending on which one you choose:

ProductStepsPhone number required?
Nexwin AI Receptionist (Phone + Chat AI) Plan → Account → Payment → Phone Number → Verify email Yes — you pick a local Australian number
Nexwin AI Chatbot (Chat AI only) Plan → Account → Payment → Verify email No
7-day free trial on all plans
Every new account starts with a 7-day free trial. Your card is verified at sign-up but will not be charged until the trial ends.

Choose a Plan

The first screen lets you select your product and plan tier.

1
Select your product — choose Nexwin AI Receptionist (Phone Assistant) or Nexwin AI Chatbot Only (Text Assistant). Nexwin AI Receptionist includes Nexwin AI Chatbot for free.
2
Select your plan tier — click a plan card to select Business or Pro. Plan details, pricing, and feature lists are shown on each card. This step only applies to Nexwin AI Receptionist — Nexwin AI Chatbot is a single-tier product, so choosing it selects the one plan automatically.
3
Click Continue to proceed to the Account step.
If you arrived at registration via a direct plan link (e.g. from the Nexwin website pricing page), your plan is pre-selected and the Plan step is skipped.

Account Information

Enter your personal details and choose how you'd like to sign in.

Google Sign-In

Click Continue with Google to sign in with your Google account. This pre-fills your name and email, removes the password field, and disables the email field. If the Google popup is closed or fails, you can use email and password instead.

Apple Sign-In

Click Continue with Apple to sign up with your Apple ID. As with Google, the password field is removed and your email is filled in and locked.

Apple only shares your name on the very first authorisation, so on any later sign-in it sends the email address alone. When that happens we make a conservative guess at your first name from your email address and place it in the field, focused and selected, so you can type straight over it. If we cannot guess sensibly — a private-relay address, a shared mailbox like info@, or initials — the field is simply left blank for you to fill in.

Check the prefilled name
Your first name is used in the welcome email and in the default business name, so it is worth correcting a guessed value before you continue.
State selection
Your state is automatically detected from your browser's timezone. You can change it if needed. This only affects which phone number area code is pre-selected in the phone picker — it does not lock you to a specific region.

Payment

Your card is verified using Stripe's secure payment system. You will not be charged during your 7-day free trial.

1
Review your order summary — your selected plan, price, trial period, and first billing date are displayed.
2
Apply a coupon code (optional) — enter a coupon code and click Apply Coupon. Supported discounts: percentage off or fixed amount off (AUD).
3
Enter your card details — card number, expiry, and CVC. All payments are processed by Stripe and are end-to-end encrypted.
4
Click Start Free Trial (or Subscribe Now for non-trial accounts). Your card is verified with a zero-dollar authorisation — no charge is made today.
For Nexwin AI Chatbot accounts, your subscription is created immediately after this step and you are redirected to verify your email.
For Nexwin AI Receptionist accounts, you proceed to the Phone Number step before the subscription is activated.

Choose Your Phone Number

Nexwin AI Receptionist accounts require a dedicated Australian local phone number. This is the number your customers will call to reach your AI receptionist. You pick it yourself from available Twilio numbers.

1
Select an area code — click one of the four area code buttons: 02 (NSW / ACT), 03 (VIC / TAS), 07 (QLD), or 08 (WA / SA / NT). The area code matching your selected state is pre-selected, and available numbers are loaded automatically.
2
Filter by digits (optional) — enter a sequence of digits in the Contains field (e.g. 5555) and click Search to find numbers that include those digits. Leave empty for any available number.
3
Click a number to select it — up to 5 available numbers are shown. Each entry displays the formatted local number and its locality/region where available.
4
Click Confirm Number to activate your account with the selected number. A progress screen is shown while your account is being set up.
Numbers are in live inventory
Available numbers come from Twilio's real-time inventory. A number shown during your search may be taken by another user before you confirm. If this happens, you will be returned to the picker to choose a different number.

Phone numbers and Australian states

Area codeStates / territories
02New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory
03Victoria, Tasmania
07Queensland
08Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory
You are not restricted to choosing a number matching your state. You can pick any Australian area code — for example, a Sydney (02) number for a Perth-based business.

Verify Your Email

After your account is created, a verification email is sent to the address you registered with. You must verify your email before you can log in and use the app.

1
Check your inbox for an email from Nexwin.
2
Click the verification link in the email.
3
Return to ai.nexwin.com.au and log in with your email and password (or Google account).
If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk folder. If you still can't find it, contact [email protected].

Registering with an email that already has a phone number

If you previously started an Nexwin AI Receptionist registration and a phone number was already provisioned for your email address (for example, after an incomplete registration), Nexwin will detect this automatically.

Instead of showing the phone picker, you will see a Your Phone Number screen displaying the existing number with a Confirm & Activate button. Click it to proceed — your existing number is reused and no new number is provisioned.

This situation is uncommon and typically only occurs if a previous registration was interrupted after the payment step. If you see an unexpected number, contact [email protected].
