What is a virtual receptionist and live answering?
Nowadays, it’s common to seek receptionist services online rather than have a full-time, in-house receptionist. A virtual receptionist, also known as a live answering service or live receptionist, performs a variety of administrative services on your company’s behalf. While functioning as a live phone answering service for a small business, a virtual live receptionist answers calls, takes messages, and even produces call reports which frees you up to work on more important tasks.

Do you provide phone numbers, or can I use an existing number I have?
Yes, to both! You have the option to use your existing phone number for our remote receptionist services. Our flexible system can accommodate local and toll-free numbers, so you can choose the best option for your business needs. If you do not have an existing number, we can provide a new dedicated phone number for your business at no additional cost.
How are calls answered and handled?
Our live receptionist services can answer and handle your calls professionally and personally as if they were working just down the hall in your office. The receptionist answers the phone using your company’s name and then directs the call to the appropriate person or department or takes a message and sends it to you via email or text. The receptionist also provides basic information about your company, answers frequently asked questions, and handles call transfers and other routine call-handling tasks. You would retain full control of the script and call handling procedures to customize the service best to meet your specific needs.
Is there a limit for calls or minutes?
Our regular live receptionist plan includes 60 minutes of call answering per month. After this, our team simply reaches out to you and has a dialogue about your usage and needs for a better solution. For customers with a high-call volume or more specific requirements, we also offer enterprise-level plans that can be customized to your business. These plans include a higher minute allocation, additional features, and tailored pricing to fit your budget and requirements. Simply contact us to learn more about our enterprise-level plans and how we can help your business grow and succeed.
When are calls answered?
Our live receptionist service is available during business hours, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. During these hours, our highly trained and professional receptionists are available to answer and handle all of your incoming calls to ensure your customers and clients always receive the highest level of service and support. Support outside regular business hours is available in our enterprise-level plan. Whether you need help during peak hours or are looking for around-the-clock support, we have the expertise and experience to meet your needs and help your business succeed.
What happens to my calls after hours?
Outside of business hours, any incoming calls to your virtual office phone number are handled according to your specific instructions. Our standard plan includes a professional after-hours voicemail message that plays for your callers and allows them to leave a message for you. If you require more robust after-hours support, we offer an enterprise-level plan that includes customized answering and call handling options such as call forwarding or answering by a live receptionist outside business hours. Whether you need to stay connected to your customers and clients around the clock or simply want to ensure that your calls are handled professionally after hours, we have the solutions to meet your needs and help you thrive.
Do you send call reports?
Yes, we do! We send call reports for each call that did not get transferred. These reports are sent via email and provide information about the call, including the date and time, the caller’s phone number, and a summary of the call’s content.
