Phone Answering Service

What Is a Virtual Phone Answering Service?

Our Australian-based team answers calls in your business name and follows your rules and instructions.

We identify who's calling and why.

We then follow your rules taking messages and sending them to the right person, screen calls and transfer calls with a proper introduction about the caller, answer questions, complete complex lead forms, whatever you need us to do.

Just like an in-house receptionist, without all the additional costs and problems.

A Phone Answering Service is a live answer service. A cost-effective way to manage incoming calls professionally and efficiently.

A call answering service is more affordable than most people expect. Especially when you factor in the reduced costs, time saved, the extra leads captured, and the stress removed.

YPC Call Answering Plans are based on call volumes. We will help you pick the right fit for your business, whether you're a solo operator, a growing team, or a national firm.

By outsourcing their phone answering, clients tell us they:

✅ Reduce Costs — no recruitment, no training, no office space. Just calls answered, professionally.

✅ Increase Revenue — more calls answered by a real person means more opportunities. No more voicemails. No more "just missed a call from this number."

✅ Maximise Current Resources — every call logged and sent to your inbox. Fewer interruptions. More focus on high-value work.

No software to install. No new systems to learn. Up and running within a day.

How Much Is a Phone Answering Service in Australia?

A professional phone answering service is more affordable than most people expect — especially when you consider the time saved, extra leads captured, and stress avoided. YPC plans start from less than $5 per week.

We keep it flexible and simple: plans are based on how many calls you need answered, with options for message-taking only or full call transfers and custom handling. Our services are used by solo operators, growing teams, and national firms — and we'll help you choose the right plan for your call volumes and business type. View all plans and pricing →

What's the Difference Between a Phone Answering Service and a Full Virtual Receptionist?

A phone answering service focuses on calls — answering live, taking messages, and transferring when needed. It does not include diary management or appointment booking. If you need us to manage your calendar and schedule appointments, our full Diary Management service or Virtual Receptionist service is the right fit. Many clients start with call answering and add diary management later as their needs grow.

Can I Use a Phone Answering Service for Overflow Calls Only?

Yes. You control when your calls come to us. Use us full-time, as overflow when your team is busy, or for after-hours cover only. You can update your divert settings anytime and your rules take effect immediately.
