Top quality service and customer care, really impressed with Face for Business and I couldn't recommend them any higher!
Phone Answering Services Review from Nora
We have been using Face for Business services for a few years for our financial advice company. We can not fault their service, it has proved extremely useful, especially post-Covid in particular when we all moved to working from home rather than being in an office.
Phone Answering Services Review from Joshie
I took over a busy clinic a few months back and on the days there is nobody to answer the phone these guys are ready to step in and intercept the calls ensuring no business is lost. I am very thankful for this great service and I highly recommend Face For Business as a professional and friendly team!

Customer Support Review from Manoj Thenua
I recently engaged a customer support provider to manage client service and support tasks for my healthcare-oriented platform. From the outset, their team was extremely professional, responsive and attentive. Their onboarding process was smooth, prompt, and well-organized. Throughout the project they handled all support tickets including account queries, billing questions, technical issues and general user guidance with empathy and clarity.What impressed me most was their commitment to quality: they consistently responded quickly to inquiries (often within minutes), maintained a helpful and courteous tone, and followed up until the users problems were fully resolved. Feedback from my users has been overwhelmingly positive: many praised how easy it was to get help and how satisfied they were with the assistance.Thanks to their efficient support, user satisfaction and retention improved noticeably compared to the period before they handled support. I also experienced fewer escalations and received fewer complaints overall. Their professionalism and consistency gave me peace of mind and freed me to focus on growing the platform rather than handling day-to-day support issues.Overall, working with them has been a very positive and productive experience the quality of support exceeded my expectations.

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.

Since the renovation, customers have frequently appreciated the ambiance, and the improved layout has made day-to-day restaurant operations much smoother.If you're looking for a Restaurant Interior Designer in Delhi who understands hospitality design, branding, and business functionality, I highly recommend Design House India Pvt.

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?
We’re committed to providing practical and accurate information to both businesses and agencies, so we turned to Chike Agbai, founder and CEO of Azumo, a fast-growing software development company. He shared his perspective on what qualifications to look for when hiring a customer support partner.
Chike Agbai spent nearly two decades as an investment banker on Wall Street, where he advised leading software companies such as Oracle, Salesforce, and Dell on high-stake transactions, before founding Azumo in 2016. Under his leadership, Azumo has grown into a multi-million-dollar business, creating software solutions for global brands like Meta, Discovery, and Zynga, as well as high-growth startups.
