What Is Outsourced 24/7 Call Answering?
Outsourced 24/7 call answering is when a business partners with an external provider to handle inbound phone calls around the clock. This includes after-hours enquiries, weekend cover, holiday support and overflow handling during busy periods. Instead of staffing internal teams to manage calls at all hours, businesses use outsourced agents to stay responsive, reduce missed opportunities and maintain a consistent customer experience. At Consumer Links, our call answering teams are based in South Africa and fully managed from the UK; giving you dependable, professional support with full control and visibility.
