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.

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.

That's the point. We only transfer when you say to. Everything else gets logged.

Most businesses find it saves them far more in time and missed opportunities.

Can I start and stop anytime?

Yes. No lock-ins. No risk.

What's the difference between this and a full virtual receptionist?

How do I update my rules?

Just send us an email or message. It takes effect immediately.
