They started employment with us on test basis initially and during their 2- week onboarding process they did so with our front-line team which was structured.

Phone Answering Services Review from Natalie Russell
Onboarding with AnswerConnect was incredibly easy. I was able to schedule a virtual meeting right away, and within an hour we had everything set upportal access, hours of operation, and customized scripting.Since getting started, Ive received positive feedback from both clients and prospects about the agents handling my calls. That alone speaks volumes.A few weeks in, I decided to tweak my scripting to improve the flow and be more transparent with callers. I reached out via chat, and their team responded immediately. They even offered to call me to walk through the changes, which I appreciated. We updated everything in real time, and the process was seamless.Super friendly team, quick to respond, and very easy to work with. Overall, a very positive experience with AnswerConnect.

Jackie B Review from Google

Jackie B's Review Sourced from Google
Extremely disappointing experience with Answer United. We signed up expecting a professional answering service that would follow our script, properly represent our company, and provide transcripts/recordings of calls as promised. None of that happened.Within the first weekend of service, we lost multiple jobs due to calls being handled poorly and the script not being followed. The representatives often sounded unfamiliar with our business and procedures, which reflected badly on our company.When we requested transcripts and recordings, we were told would be available; they were never provided. Customer service was also very frustrating to deal with. When I asked for a refund because the service was not delivered as agreed, I was told they had already invested time setting up the account and script. We invested employee time into that process as well, only for the agreed-upon procedures to be ignored.After bringing up these issues, communication largely stopped, and calls/emails went unanswered. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want an answering service that will professionally represent your business.
Deep R Review from Google

Deep R's Review Sourced from Google
I used their service for a little over a year. They are very good at taking calls and usually answer them promptly. They would then pass on the message via email, though often some things in the message didn't make it across. However, if that was all I needed, then an answering machine would have been enough, I hired them as a virtual receptionist and to make appointments. Ultimately I left their service because, after more than a year they seemed to know very little about my business, they routinely had trouble answering callers' basic questions about the business. They often bungled appointment taking and I felt they were costing me business.I worked with them multiple times to change the script but still to no avail, they just didn't do a very good job as a VR.I think using them as a message-taking service is fine but would not expect anything more of them.

Our favorite vendor, Answer United!As a growing company with a handful of Customer Care staff inhouse, we had a critical need to find a partner that could handle our call influxes during prime time as well as assist in creating an Emergency Line which our clients could use that would reach our after hours manager.Barbara and the Answer United group have exceeded our expectations in not only the quality of service, but their ability to make small, custom changes that really boost our ability to provide a higher level of communication to our customers.Looking forward to expanding our business relationship into the 2020 year!

What services do US customer support outsourcing companies provide?
They provide voice and digital support services for faster response to customer inquiries and reducing operational burdens.
Voice support services include inbound customer service calls, escalations, billing and account inquiries, troubleshooting, and retention calls, with the segment accounting for roughly 60% of contact center outsourcing revenue in 2024. Companies continue to rely on voice support for high-stakes, emotionally charged, or technically complex issues that are difficult to resolve asynchronously.
The remaining ~40% of the revenue share is distributed across digital and automation-augmented support services, typically referring to live chat, messaging support, email support, social media customer support, chatbot self-service solutions, and co-browsing support.
When can clients expect ROI after signing such a service?
Return on investment (ROI) from an outsourced customer service depends on whether the business is fixing immediate capacity gaps or rebuilding support as an operation.
Overflow / after-hours coverage: Returns are gained within 1 to 2 months as the business reduces tickets, weekend backlogs, and churn-risk moments almost immediately.
Replacing in-house hiring: Value is typically noticed in 2 to 4 months once the team is live, because outsourcing is often pursued for material cost reduction.
Seasonal outsourcing (holidays, promos, spikes): ROI can be expected in 1 to 3 months because such short-term engagements prevent over-hiring and rushed training failures during peak demand.
Full migration (voice + email + chat + QA): Positive returns show in 3 to 6 months because the most notable returns will come from stabilized operations.
Niche support (regulated, technical, multi-brand, multilingual): Slower gains, visible in 4 to 9 months, due to knowledge transfer and escalation flows that take longer to set.
How much does customer support outsourcing cost in the US?
The average hourly rate of outsourced customer support companies in the US is $50. Based on these estimations, you can expect the following service rates:
Pricing model
Pricing range
Per hour
$40-$60 per hour
Per agent (full time equivalent - FTE)
$1,200-$4,000/month per agent
Per ticket or interaction
$1-$5 per ticket or $0.50–$2 per chat
The final service fee is not solely determined by the number of hired agents or mere hours of service delivered. The technical setup, service type, hours of coverage, and the language also add up to the service rate. Namely:
The more technical or regulated the product, the higher the training burden, which adds to the price.
Nights, weekends, and 24/7 coverage cost more than a standard 9-to-5 setup.
Multilingual support i.e., non-English customer support often increases costs by 20-40%.
In terms of channel, email or chat-only are the cheapest options. Voice, social, or omnichannel coverage incurs higher service fees.
CRMs, live chat, help desks, and chatbots entail setup or licensing fees.
What are the typical timelines for a customer support outsourcing company to setup and go-live for a new client?
In most cases, businesses can anticipate a rollout that moves from training to full coverage in 6 to 12 weeks.
Week 2-4 (setup and training): The outsourced customer support provider trains agents. At the same time, communication channels are set and escalation paths defined.
Week 5-8 (soft launch): Outsourced agents begin tackling low-risk, high-volume tickets, wherein every interaction is monitored and reviewed.
Week 9-12 (full go-live): The outsourced agents ramp to full coverage across agreed channels, and by this point, can resolve ~80% of issues without escalation.
What industries are these specialists most frequently engaged by?
Adoption of customer support outsourcing varies by industry, with the biggest concentration remaining in sectors with high volume, high complexity, or strict service expectations. The highest adoption is seen across:
