Very disappointing experience. There’s no reliable system in place to get a timely response from them. They only provide one number to call, but that never resolves any issues — no matter how urgent o... See more

Unprofessional & overcharge

Unprofessional & overcharge

Over the past few months our company has used Pocket Receptionists call answering service.

There have been multiple times where our calls have been handled very poorly by their representatives or not answered at all, even though we have paid extra for the “24/7” answering service.

They also overcharged us at every opportunity possible. The on average rates we actually payed were around 3x advertised once they get you with all the “out of bundle extras”, penalties and add ons which they don't even notify you that you are incurring.

In general the experience was not a good one and definitely not the sort of company I would recommend.

Avoid!

Serial spammers

They subscribed my email from a post I made on a diet for disabled site. They refuse to remove me from their illegal spam list and continue to spam me. You want to do business with them, really?

Great idea at first but added…

Great idea at first but added additional charges and no ability to learn the basics of my business based on data collection requested left many customers confused and lost me potential customers. Great sales pitch from whoever is was who signed me up, but quickly went down hill.

Great ambassadors for our business

I've worked with other virtual receptionist services in the past, but the friendly, professional and highly responsive Pocket Receptionist team makes it feel like they're part of the team. In fact we've had clients mention Pocket staff by name, as if regular colleagues.

Great ambassadors for our business, really good value for money and highly recommended.

Awful service

The accounts team billed us for a month when our account was closed. Refused to refund despite presenting them with clear evidence of a closed account. I will never ever use this awful company again. Avoid like the plague !!
