The most obvious benefit of an Answering Service is that increases office efficiency. With an Answering Service, calls are screened are routed before actually reaching employees in your office, freeing up time that would otherwise be spent trying to direct the calls themselves. Your employees can now focus on their work with limited distraction from incoming calls.

A drawback of having a phone service is the cost. In addition to having to pay for your PBX (either traditional or VOIP), your business has to pay for an Answering Service. Rates depend based on how many calls you plan on receiving, and pricing plans can either be based on a monthly subscription or a number of calls. This will vary from company to company. The good news is that many of these companies will provide a trial-period for Answering Services.
