Call Centers Review from Eric Martin
The salesman, Luke?, was very responsive and knowledgeable, a true professional. On boarding with Bailey, was easy and very thorough. Getting on board with an answering service had a lot more detail than I expected and Bailey was very patient and did not rush the process.
Call Centers Review from Benjamin Rose
I needed to get two new numbers set up quickly and Marti Ramirez was able to immediately help me out immediately. Also, Marti had some great suggestions for the scripting that was greatly appreciated. He even went above and beyond to check my multiple other accounts to make sure everything was OK with them. Marti is definitely an employee that goes above and beyond. Thanks again Marti!

Phone Answering Services Review from Jotham King
Overall I highly recommend Gabbyville. If you’re a business looking for that extra phone support, Gabbyville should be the first place to look. From how satisfied my clients are, to the positive reviews they leave about my company’s “receptionists”, Gabbyville has helped my business greatly! Thank you Gabbyville for getting me to where I am today with my business!

Phone Answering Services Review from Cesar Rodriguez
Gabbyville has helped me expand my business in a manner that would have been impossible by myself. We’ve increased our revenue almost 2 times in the past 6 months, growing it into a 6-figure business! While I maintained a full-time job, I can probably count the number of times I had to personally call customers on just one hand. By using Gabbyville, I’m able to focus my limited time on running the business and working on marketing. Gabbyville’s receptionists have my complete trust, and they can probably convert leads into clients better than I can. Thank you Gabbyville for getting me to where I am today with my business!
Call Centers Review from Joshua Holmes
The last couple of years, Ethode has experiencing tremendous growth. We have trouble answering phones, taking messages and scheduling meetings. Gabbyville has exceeded our expectations and has become a crucial part in how we do business. We would highly recommend Gabbyville to any company that’s struggling in handling phone calls and taking care of their customers the right way.

Justine Karren's Review Sourced from Google
Recently signed up with AnswerFirst and couldn't be happier! We've also received nothing but positive feedback from our clients. We also contacted support for the first time and our request was completed within a half-an-hour of creating the ticket.
Karen Mason's Review Sourced from Google
Extremely disappointed. After assuring me that they could pre-qualify callers, they decided that they really couldn't do that and re-wrote the scripts in such a way that I might as well use AI or even a simple voice activated call routing system. They declined even the simplest request: I wanted them to add callbacks to the first available time slot on my schedule -- NOT to schedule the callback time with the client, just to put the message on MY calendar so I would have time carved out to return the call. For some reason that was too hard for them. They did, however, send me messages that were supposedly for me, even though I had never forwarded my lines to them.The response below says they couldn't schedule a callback without the callers permission, which only proves my point that they didn't listen so they didn't get it: all I wanted them to do was add the message to call back to my calendar rather than just taking a message. How is that doing anything without the caller's consent? It was just meant to block time in MY day. Nothing more.If you couldn't qualify callers in your environment, you should have said so when I asked.

Virtual Assistant Review from Robbie Forsyth
Obi Services has been a fantastic extension of our workforce, since we began using them for support in 2022. They have shown themselves to be efficient workers, giving us great output for the hours spent - at excellent value for money. Their versatility is outstanding too, supporting us with admin (the jobs our staff find boring), IT and design work. Their communication systems are ideal too, so we are always in the loop. Would strongly recommend them for anyone looking into an all round VA service.
Digital Marketing Review from Dusty Jenkins
I can't speak highly enough of the OBI team. I have been using them over 2 years now for my marketing company and have used them through a variety of tasks. Landing Page Design, Canvas Design, Branding, Logo Creation, Youtube Thumbnails, Youtube Bumpers, Logo Animation, Video Editing, Photoshop Editing, and List Building to name a few. Every new task I've made with them has been a home run overall. As new staff comes into OBI workspace, there will be times where we need to provide additional feedback but overall, I'm very very pleased with how they follow SOPs and help create them along the way. I have never been more organized in my marketing business and will continue to shout the OBI name from every mountain top I encounter. Give them a shot! Their communication is top notch and they truly feel like family to me. I couldn't do business without them.
Abdullah's Review Sourced from Google
OBI Services has been a dependable partner for our back office outsourcing needs. Their teamdemonstrates professionalism, efficiency, and a strong understanding of business processes. Theyhandle tasks such as data entry, lead generation, and virtual assistance with precision and reliability.Their solutions are tailored, cost-effective, and designed to support operational efficiency, allowing ourteam to focus on core strategic initiatives. Communication is seamless, and they are responsive to ourneeds.I highly recommend OBI Services for any organization seeking a trusted and capable back officeoutsourcing partner.

Phone Answering Services FAQs
What are phone answering services?
Phone answering services are third-party companies that handle incoming calls for businesses. Instead of letting calls go to voicemail or pulling staff away from their work, these services provide trained professionals who answer on behalf of the business, take messages, transfer calls, or provide basic information.
How do professional answering services help businesses improve customer communication?
Professional answering services improve customer communication by making sure every call is answered quickly and professionally. This reduces wait times, prevents missed opportunities, and ensures customers always reach a real person instead of voicemail. For many businesses, this consistency builds trust and improves overall customer satisfaction.
Which types of businesses benefit most from using phone answering services?
Businesses that benefit the most from using phone answering services include:
- Small businesses and startups gain professional call handling without hiring full-time staff
- Medical, legal, and service providers ensure clients always reach someone for urgent or time-sensitive needs
- E-commerce and customer support teams manage high call volumes and improve response times
What are the top-rated phone answering service providers on DesignRush in 2025?
The top-rated phone answering service providers on DesignRush in 2025 are:
What core and specialized services do phone answering companies provide?
Core services phone answering companies provide include:
- Live call answering
- Message taking and forwarding
- Call transfers and routing
- Appointment scheduling
- Basic customer support and FAQs
Specialized services:
- Order processing and payment handling
- Bilingual or multilingual support
- After-hours and 24/7 coverage
- Industry-specific scripts (e.g., medical intake, legal intake)
- CRM and software integrations for seamless data management
How much do phone answering services cost in 2025?
In 2025, phone answering services typically cost between $0.80 and $1.17 per minute, which equals about $20 to $45 per hour. Pricing depends on how calls are billed; some providers charge by the minute, some charge a flat fee per call, and others use a monthly subscription that includes a set number of minutes with extra charges for overages.
The final price also varies by factors like call volume, call duration, transfers, and how providers handle wrong numbers or spam calls.
How quickly can a business see improvements after adopting phone answering services?
Most businesses see improvements almost immediately after adopting a phone answering service. Calls stop going to voicemail, customers reach a live person faster, and staff get clear, timely messages. This shift alone can raise customer satisfaction from day one.
Over a few weeks, the benefits compound: fewer missed leads, smoother appointment scheduling, and better responsiveness to urgent issues. For companies with high call volumes, the difference in efficiency and professionalism is often visible within the first month.
What should you look for when choosing a phone answering service provider?
When choosing a phone answering service provider, look for:
- 24/7 availability and quick response times
- Professional, well-trained agents who represent your brand
- Transparent pricing and clear call reporting
- Flexible plans that match your call volume and budget
- Extra features like bilingual support, CRM integration, or industry-specific scripts
- Strong reviews and proven track record with businesses like yours
What red flags suggest a phone answering service may not be reliable?
Red flags that suggest a phone answering service may not be reliable are:
- Long hold times or frequent missed calls during testing
- Vague or hidden pricing without clear breakdowns
- Poor communication or unprofessional behavior from agents
- Lack of transparency in call reports or performance data
- No references, reviews, or proven track record
- Limited availability, such as no after-hours or weekend coverage
What key questions should you ask before hiring a phone answering company?
Key questions you should ask before hiring a phone answering company include:
- What pricing model do you use (per minute, per call, or monthly)?
- How do you handle after-hours, weekends, and holidays?
- Can your agents follow customized scripts for my industry?
- Do you offer bilingual or multilingual support?
- Which CRMs or tools can you integrate with?
- How do you report on call activity and service performance?
How do professional answering services differ from in-house receptionists or call software?
An in-house receptionist works only during business hours and requires a salary, benefits, and training. Software solutions, while cheaper, usually rely on automated menus or voicemail, which can frustrate customers looking for a real person.
Answering services combine the best of both: live human support without the overhead of full-time staff. They provide 24/7 coverage, industry-specific scripts, and multilingual options, which most small teams can’t manage alone. Unlike software, they add empathy and judgment to calls, and unlike a single receptionist, they scale with call volume.
Which tools, CRM integrations, and multilingual features do top phone answering services use?
Top phone answering services use:
- Tools: IVR systems, call recording, analytics dashboards, VoIP/softphones, helpdesk ticketing
- CRMs: Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics
- Multilingual: Bilingual agents, multilingual call scripts, real-time language support
How legitimate is the content in the FAQs?
