What is a Phone Answering Service?

A phone answering service is an easy and reliable way to ensure that all incoming calls will be answered by a professional operator, instead of going unanswered or being transferred to voicemail.

A business’s calls are answered on behalf of the business, and in accordance with the script provided by the business, so that callers would feel like they have been put in touch with the business.

In addition to just answering a business’s calls, a phone answering service is capable of recording the details of the caller and the message they leave or transferring the call to a member of the business’s staff if they happen to be free at the moment.

All the information received is then forwarded to the business either in the form of SMS or e-mail.

The vast majority of businesses employ a phone answering service as supplementary cover but not as an alternative to their receptionists’ work as it is employed when the call volume exceeds the number of free employees and this occurs during the busiest hours, after hours, on holidays or any other situation.

Virtual Reception Solutions for Every Industry

Alongside our outstanding resources in customer service, from inbound to outbound, we also offer virtual reception to all of our clients. This service spans a wide variety of industries, including but not limited to retail, hospitality, medical, and mining.

It’s a feature of our virtual reception that ensures not a single call will go unnoticed, making sure that every discussion remains consistent on both sides.

At OracleCMS, we go above and beyond for every single client, providing world-class technology that delivers the best outsourced virtual reception services nationwide.

We guarantee that we will find the perfect solution for your business needs from our range of virtual answering services, including specialised call handling, at our contact centres. We firmly believe that outsourcing your live call answering needs to us will directly affect the growth of your business.

If you’re looking for a better way to manage incoming calls, or explore virtual reception for your team, OracleCMS can help you wherever you’re based.

From our offices in Melbourne, we help companies from Perth to Brisbane to Sydney and everywhere in between keep in touch with their clients, so you’ll never have to worry about missed opportunities again.

Answering Service or Virtual Receptionist: Which Is Right for You?

Not every company needs an agent answering every single call. If your team already handles most calls yourselves and you only need backup during busy periods, peak times, after hours, or when everyone’s busy, that’s exactly what our phone answering service is designed for.

If, instead, you want every call handled the same way, all the time, every day, as if someone were sitting at your front desk full-time, that’s a different kind of service. OracleCMS also runs a dedicated virtual receptionist service for businesses that demand that level of full-time coverage.

Could Your Business Benefit from Virtual Call Handling?

Our virtual answering solutions have a proven track record in delivering professional and efficient results. In an industry where connecting you to your customers is vital, opting for virtual reception will be a decision you won’t regret. OracleCMS promises you the following:

  • Callers will be greeted promptly and professionally with your own personal scripts.
  • Whether it’s confirming an appointment or answering a general enquiry, our operators represent your business professionally.
  • Our live operators in Melbourne, Perth, and the rest of Australia repeatedly stand out with their brilliant communication skills. They excel in making conversations feel personal and engaging, leaving your customers feeling valued and content.
  • We are equipped to answer calls using your own existing line, or we can provide a local virtual number nationwide too, to ensure callbacks are always possible.
  • We provide bespoke pricing proposals tailored specifically to your needs.
  • Your receptionist team will be trained in line with your organisation’s company policy. To the customer, when we answer calls, our voice is yours.
  • OracleCMS offers flexible messaging and call transfer options via a voice answering service at our contact centres, where calls can be transferred from anywhere in the world, at your discretion.
  • We are an Australian based Contact Centre.

How Our Phone Answering Services Works

The moment you sign up, your account gets a personalised greeting, your script, and details on how our call service handles each type of call. From there, every call is handled the same way: we answer, note what’s needed, and turn it into a message you can act on fast.

What Happens When a Client Calls?

Whether they call your line or ours, we answer using your company’s name and follow the script, asking the questions you provided and noting all necessary information about the caller. The client never knows they’ve talked to a third party to them, it was your business that answered the call.

Message Taking: How We Send You Update Notifications by SMS

Every time we get a message for you, we process it within seconds and send you a message in the format you need via SMS or e-mail. You will get all the necessary information you need – their name, phone number and their message – as well as any other information that was noted. Some clients ask us to send a notification every time we answer a call for them; others request a text message in case of an urgent matter. You choose how you receive notifications, and we send them. Which now means less admin for your team, and faster responses for your customers.

Call Escalation and Call Transfers: Getting Callers Connected to the Right Person

Call transferring happens quickly, so your customer never waits long to be connected. Sometimes, the client wants to talk to a particular person from your company. We transfer the call to that person’s phone whenever they are at the office or even somewhere else. You give us a list of people who are responsible for particular issues, and we connect callers to them. If no one is free to pick up the call, we write a message. Either way, you still get a message worth reading.

Which Plans Work Best?

Every company uses this type of support service uniquely. The way a tradesperson handles incoming calls from a van will differ from how an appointment-scheduling clinic handles its calls. Knowing what phone answering problem you’re trying to solve helps before you choose a plan.

Choosing a Plan to Fit Your Call Volume

First, look at how many calls you get each day. When your company receives 10 to 15 calls a month, choosing a more affordable plan makes sense, and you don’t have to pay for services you don’t really use.

If you’re a busier company or one that experiences spikes in activity, then a plan designed for a higher call volume would be appropriate. Changing plans is easy at any time, so if your needs change, you may still switch plans whenever you like.

Choosing Between After-Hours Cover and Full-Time Reception

Some businesses only need calls answered outside their opening hours, i.e. after working hours, on weekends and during public holidays.

Some businesses choose to pass all their calls to us and to use us as their full-time receptionist. Both options are equally correct and depend on how many calls your own staff can handle.

FAQ’s

What is a phone answering service?

A phone answering service is a team of operators who answer your business calls for you. You forward your calls to them, and they pick up in your business name, take messages and pass them on to you, usually by SMS or email. Some services can also transfer urgent calls or answer common questions. Your callers reach a real person every time, even when you’re busy, on the road or closed.

Is your answering service AI or real people?

Real people. Every call is answered by a member of our Australian team, never an AI, a recording or voicemail. We use software to route calls and send your messages faster, but the person who picks up is always a human.

Are your call answering operators based in Australia?

Yes. Every one of our operators is based in Australia, so your callers always speak with someone local. That means a familiar accent, and someone who knows local place names and how Australian callers expect to be spoken to.

Do you answer calls on public holidays?

Yes. We answer calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. That includes Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Easter and every other public holiday, so your phone is covered when you’re closed.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?

Yes, any time. If you’re getting more or fewer calls than your plan covers, let us know, and we’ll move you to one that fits. You can change as often as you like.

Can I change my call script after I start?

Yes, whenever you need to. Tell our team what you’d like changed, such as how we greet callers, the questions we ask or how we pass on messages, and we’ll update your script. That’s handy when you add a new service, change your opening hours or run a promotion.

Do I need a 1300 number for a phone answering service?

No. You can keep your current business number, whether it’s a landline, a mobile or a 1300 number, and forward your calls to us. If you’d rather not use your own number, we can give you one to use instead.

Is a call answering service worth it for a small business?

For most small businesses, yes. When your team is small, you can’t always get to the phone, and a missed call is often a missed job. An answering service picks up when you’re busy, on-site, or closed, takes a message and sends it through to you. Plans are based on how many calls you get, so you can pick one that suits the size of your business.

How much does a phone answering service cost in Australia?

Most live phone answering services in Australia cost somewhere between $30 and a few hundred dollars a month. The price mostly comes down to how many calls you get. Many providers charge a monthly fee that covers a set number of calls, then roughly $1.50 to $4.50 for each extra call. Some also add fees for setup, after hours calls or public holidays, so check what’s included before you compare prices. Our plans are based on your call volume, so tell us roughly how many calls you get and we’ll recommend one that fits.

What's the difference between a phone answering service and a virtual receptionist?

A phone answering service covers you some of the time, like after hours, when you’re busy or when calls pile up. A receptionist plan covers every call, all day, as if someone were sitting at your front desk. If you still answer most calls yourself, a phone answering service is usually enough. If you’d rather hand over the phones completely, the receptionist plan is the better fit.

Can I advertise the answering service number you give me?

No. The number we give you is only for forwarding your calls to us, and we may need to change it. Put your own number on your website, ads and business cards, ideally a 13, 1300 or 1800 number, and forward it to us. That way your callers never notice if our number changes.

Can your operators ask my callers specific questions?

Yes. You can add extra questions to your script, such as the caller’s address, their order number or how they heard about you, so every message has what you need to follow up. Get in touch with our team to set them up.

How does a phone answering service work?

You forward your business calls to us, either all the time or only when you can’t pick up. One of our operators answers in your business name, following the script you’ve set up. They take a message and send it straight to you or your staff by SMS or email. If a call is urgent, they can transfer it through to you.

How do I set up a phone answering service?

Sign up and tell us how you’d like your calls handled: your greeting, your script and what to do with different types of calls. Once that’s set, your account goes live and we start answering in your business name straight away. There’s no equipment to install, and you keep your existing number.
