How Does Live Phone Answering Work?
Telephone answering services are simple to set up and can make your call management process even more seamless. Simply use your dedicated in-dial number to forward calls from your mobile, landline or PBX system. Our operators will then answer the call following a custom script and either take a message, take a booking or transfer the call directly as per your instructions.
