    • Kimberly Weber President and Founder at Iowa Home Care
      5.0

      BPO Review from Kimberly Weber

      We brought on IdeasUnlimited to help with our back office work so our nurses and staff could stay focused on clients. They handle scheduling, reports, emails, and client inquiries, and they picked up new tasks fast with very little training. The time we save is huge, and it makes our daily operations smoother. What I like most is they really try to fit into how we work, so it feels like they are part of our own team. The onboarding took a little time, but once we got set, everything has been running well.

      BPO Review from Miriam Woodward

      IdeasUnlimited has been a dependable partner for us at De Dios Consulting. They handle our scheduling, emails, research, and reports, which freed up time for us to focus on clients. What I value most is how quickly they adapt and how much they feel like part of our team. The only challenge was getting them up to speed on a few tools, but once they learned, everything has been smooth.

      Medical Review from Jeffrey Bill

      Working with IdeasUnlimited has been a real help for us at Sunrise Treatment Center. We brought them in to handle our medical billing so our staff could focus more on patients. They learned our system fast and cut down on errors which meant we got paid quicker and had better cash flow. Communication has always been easy and they adjust when we need something changed. What stood out most is how detailed and reliable they are. Nothing is ever perfect but they came pretty close.

      We turned to Simply Contact to enhance support for our SaaS product users, and the cooperation fully met our expectations. The team quickly connected to our processes, took over the processing of incoming requests via email and the contact form on our website, and provided a high level of service. I would especially like to note the clear organization, attentive attitude to detail, and ability to adapt to our requirements. Support was provided in several languages, and all requests were processed promptly, within the stated SLA.

      I have been working at Simply Contact for just over a year, came with zero experience in this field, and have tried different projects and roles. If you are motivated and ready to give your best, you can get promoted. If you are satisfied with your place, you can focus on strengthening your skills, like through corporate English lessons. But above all, having worked with a ton of Simply Contact's employees, I can tell for sure that the best thing is a friendly and open environment. The management is supportive and really takes our feedback into account, and our HR team always comes up with creative activities to build up our corporate spirit.

      Johnson Legal PLLC's Review Sourced from Google

      As a small law office, we used AnswerFirst for about a year. We opted not to have calls recorded as their system has an irritating "beep" that sounds in the background while customers are on the phone. We thought things were going well. Several months later we signed up for CallRail, which recorded all incoming calls. We began to see a pattern of poorly handled calls. When we shared this information with management, and offered to provide the recording, they said "no thanks." The probems continued. For instance one caller asked if we did simple Wills. The AnswerFirst agent said, "No, we only do Estate Planning." After sharing these simple issues with management nothing changed. We asked if they could give us an adjustment to our bill based on the poorly handled responses. They said "No." We notified them this week we were switching carriers and they acted like they could care less. DO NOT use them as they cannot handle the simplest of calls.

      Outstanding After-Hours Answering Service – Highly Recommend for Service-Based Businesses We've transitioned to AnswerFirst about four months ago for our after-hours answering service needs, and they’ve exceeded every expectation. Their live agent support, combined with responsive customer service and advanced technology integration, has provided our team with a seamless and professional solution that far surpasses our previous provider. What sets AnswerFirst apart is their adaptability to our unique workflows, quick response times, and overall attention to detail. As a service business, having a reliable, U.S.-based call center is essential and AnswerFirst delivers with consistency and clarity. Their platform gives us the functionality we need, and the quality of their after-hours call handling has significantly improved both our internal efficiency and our customer experience. If you're a service-based company looking for high-quality live agents, professional support, and a partner who understands urgency and accountability, I highly recommend AnswerFirst.

      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'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!

      I’ve been with TELvista for 18+ years, and I can honestly say that it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, the work environment has been supportive, and focused on personal growth. The leadership team values employees and fosters a culture of open communication and continuous development. I’m excited about the future here and feel proud to be a part of a company that is not only focused on its success but also on creating a positive impact.

      We are a small medical response and medical transfer service based in the Niagara region. By complete fluke or in this case luck we found Networkcherry. we were looking to find a replacement provider as the one we had spent more time down not working and overcharged us. When Alan made contact with us we could tell right away he was up front and had the solutions to our problem. Alan has set us up with an amazing system that offered way more then the previous provider did and at half the cost. Alan talked us through the entire proses and provided support same day for all our questions and concerns. As a medical service provider communication is key and having a system that can stand up and be cost effective is key and Networkcherry has defiantly surpassed our expectations. In short if your a small business or large, we would defiantly recommend the team at Networkcherry. Tanks again to Alan and his team for every thing you have done for us.

      I've had my ups and downs hiring various IT professionals to assist in our tech operations. A trusted friend recommended this firm, and since then, I haven't looked back. Dealing with ITAdOn has been delightful; they have been our most reliable partner so far, and no provider I've ever hired has come close in terms of responsiveness, accountability, and professionalism. I've achieved great results with them, receiving fantastic IT support and meeting our recruiting needs. Huge thanks to the ITAdOn team for helping us scale our business.

      I have been very satisfied with the IT Support we have received from ITAdOn. ITAdOn has helped us build a secure IT infrastructure that gives us peace of mind (especially where there are a lot of cybersecurity and ransomware risks nowadays). Every staff member is very competent, responsive, and easy to work with. They treat us like their own and do whatever it takes to properly get the job done. The team members at ITAdOn are truly the professionals you want on your team helping you out when your technology snags an issue. Knowing I can rely on them, they are our go-to IT support company here in Philadelphia! I highly recommend them.

      ITAdOn has been managing our IT infrastructure for the last few months and we couldn’t be happier. The technical support team is very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. I feel great that our network, server, and our workstations are up to date and running smoothly. They recently upgraded our workstations to Windows 11 which was effortless on our end and everything is working seamlessly. Very happy with their service.

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: 

  1. AnswerConnect  
  2. Hugo 
  3. Moneypenny USA 
  4. Endicott  
  5. Face For Business  
  6. Nexa  
  7. Answering Service Care, LLC 
  8. AnswerFirst Communications 
  9. Smith.ai  
  10. Westpark Communications  

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
