Hi there

I would like to introduce you to my company. We provide a telephone answering service, we are currently running a free weeks trial if you are interested. Visit our Website timeassistant.co.uk

More information and prices can be seen on our website. However to give you an overview, we give you:

Free Set-up
Free Line Rental
No long term contracts, cancel whenever you like.

In addition your number can be yours to keep, if you decide to leave us. The cost for this is £25.


If you decide to choose another provider - and there's plenty out there - just be careful, a lot of them charge you a fortune for taking your number with you.

Thanks very much for the recommendation Olly - much appreciated.

Answer.co.uk runs on a PAYG model, costing £1 per call with no setup fee or contract. Am happy to give you a call to go over this if you need.

In regards to taking your number with you, it depends on the type of number you access. An 02/local number is quite difficult to port as most answering services are not numbers suppliers. I would always recommend renting the number externally allowing you more control and freedom of which company you use. Again, can help you with this as we have a number of suppliers we use (and we can also provide numbers if needed).

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Olly and popunder for the shoutouts - I think it is important to mention that majority of services will do their best to provide a great service.

Would like to mention though that Answer.co.uk is part of JAM (established in 1977) and also recent winner of the best business in Hertfordshire 2010.

We are fortunate to have a number of testimonials from clients including at http://www.jam.co.uk/testimonials.aspx

Our PAYG service - www.answer.co.uk take about 20 minutes to sign-up to and you only pay for the calls we take (minimum requirement one call per month).

I also highly, no, massively, recommend JAM Telephone Answering and http://answer.co.uk/ their customers service is second to none.

So well priced and as a one man band a huge time saver as I can't be doing everything, eg: out, in meetings, answering the phone, working etc etc.

I've been using them for over a year and can't say a bad word about them.
100% recommend them.

I've been using a company called Time Assistant since starting.

Guys are really good, and don't just take my calls, they also deal with booking candidates onto courses and taking payments for me.

I have 3 people who 'work for me' on my calls so the candidates, venue hires etc always speak to the same people, this was what I really wanted as continuity is essential.

They also provide my mailing address and various other ad hoc admin services, but that is outwith my call charges.

My bills are generally always the same as they have packages so I know from month to month what I'm spending, I stayed away from the PAYG option but I can see how that would work for businesses.

Hope that helps.

The number on capital's site is goes to the sales guy there, if hes out and about it goes through to his mobile. There call centre service is very good and is why i got involved with them. But each to there own, many of the other companies are good aswell, but normally a little more costly.

Bit of an unfair judgement there though.

We provide a call answering service and have been doing so since 2004. We're offering 50% off our package deals to our newsletter subscribers until 20 January. You need to subscribe to our newsletter to benefit though.

You can view rates here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11913061/VO & CA current Rates.pdf

The call answering service can be set up very quickly, often the same day provided we have all the relative information from you but please allow 24 hours.

You will be allocated a dedicated phone number which will present your company name on our switchboard so we know exactly who we’re dealing with. You can simply divert your own number to this number at your convenience or advertise it as your own company number. All calls are answered within 3 rings and a concise message forwarded to you by email.

The standard service is Monday to Friday 9am-6pm although 24/7 cover is available (see additional costs). Both the annual and quarterly services are payable upfront and your call charges (if you are not paying for an inclusive package) are billed monthly in arrears. You will be provided with a spreadsheet of all your calls for the previous month with your invoice for reconciliation.

We provide that all important first port of call to your clients allowing you to rest assured that you will never miss an important call or even potential sale. As we’re a small team and not a large call centre we also offer that personal touch as we get to know our customers and in time yours.

Customer service is paramount and I am always mentoring the team to ensure they are providing that same service to you and your customers that you would expect. Please see what our current clients say about us.

I hope this makes sense and if you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.
