Professional and Responsive Service

I've used Message Direct for my business and have always found them to be extremely professional and reliable. Calls are answered politely and efficiently, and I particularly like the fact that they can transfer calls directly to me when I'm available.

Their customer service is excellent. They're always responsive to questions, and it's refreshing to be able to speak to someone directly when needed.

They offer good value for money and have been a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I have worked with Message Direct for a number of years now and they have always been incredibly helpful. Recently, I migrated to a new system and Sophie in particular was absolutely fantastic and held my hand throughout the whole process. She made it far easier than I thought it would be, and is a credit to the company. She was even answering my requests (and there were quiet a lot!) into the evenings.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for the review Barry! Moving to a new system is never fun so it's brilliant to hear Sophie made it painless. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

There are other options

As they charge by the minute you can expect them to keep people on the phone as long as possible (and still give me junk leads). Inflexible cancellation terms were the icing on the cake. Plenty of other options out there to choose from.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the feedback, I'm sorry your experience didn't meet the standard we aim for.

A quick note on the call lengths, our receptionists are highly trained with efficiency being a core skill they're assessed on, so a call feeling drawn out is genuinely the opposite of what we want. We'll review this properly if you can share the calls in question. We've sent a request through Trustpilot for a few more details and we will investigate.

Kind regards, Message Direct
