Small Business FAQ

Will callers know it isn’t us?

We use your greeting and script so we sound in-house. Some small businesses are OK with us telling callers we're the answering service, while others want us to be the "receptionist." It's up to you!

Can we start after-hours only?

Yes! Many small businesses start with after-hours or overflow.

Do you screen unwanted calls?

We filter spam/telemarketers and pass you only real business.
