800 number with live answering service
We get it – running a business is a lot to manage. There are a thousand things to do every day to maintain a smooth-running operation, and keeping a professional look by answering calls is one of them. Missing just one phone call and letting it go to voicemail can mean you miss an opportunity to earn a new potential customer, satisfy a current client, build loyalty, and expand national presence.
Having a dedicated toll-free number answering service isn’t a luxury–it’s a must have if you want your customers to get prompt answers, professional greetings, and a friendly voice on the other end of the call.
With Upfirst’s call answering service, you’ll show that your business is always available to lend a hand no matter the time of day. It’s like having a professional virtual receptionist that never takes a minute off, ready to book appointments, satisfy your callers, and give your company a serious boost in professional image – all at an affordable price.
Whether you run an accounting firm or a plumbing company, answering clients calls quickly is a must. We help you pick up on the first ring.
Transform how customers perceive your business from the first "hello." Our 1-800 answering service elevates your local business to a nationwide brand, helping you win trust and credibility instantly. Whether callers are from across the street or across the country, they'll experience the professionalism of an established enterprise.
Stop losing potential customers to voicemail. Our 800 number answering service ensures every call is a revenue opportunity, with your agent answering within seconds – even during peak hours. Handle multiple calls simultaneously and turn quick responses into closed deals.
Expand your business hours without expanding your team. While your competitors sleep, our toll-free answering service keeps working. Whether it's a midnight emergency or a Sunday sales inquiry, every caller gets the same exceptional service that drives loyalty and referrals. Never miss another opportunity to grow your business.
Deliver enterprise-level support without enterprise-level costs. Instead of managing an in-house reception team, our 800 answering service gives you professional call handling at a fraction of the cost. Focus your resources on growing your business while we handle the calls.
Get the most advanced virtual receptionist solution that outperforms traditional answering services right out of the box.
Keep your existing business number or get a new 800 number—the choice is yours. Seamlessly forward calls from your current line or establish a fresh nationwide presence with a dedicated toll-free number. Setup takes minutes, not days.
Access every call recording and transcript at no extra charge. While other services nickel-and-dime you for call records, we believe transparency shouldn't cost extra. Review conversations anytime to ensure quality and train your team.
Traditional answering services can't scale their knowledge. Our AI ingests your business documentation, product details, and customer scenarios to deliver responses that are 90% more accurate than human agents.
Stay in the loop without getting bogged down. After every call, receive concise, actionable summaries straight to your email or phone. Get the key details you need—customer requests, action items, and follow-ups—all clearly organized.
Connect our 800 answering service to your existing tools through Zapier. Automatically sync call data with your CRM, update support tickets, or trigger custom workflows. Your answering service should work alongside your business, not create extra work.
We answer around-the-clock and faster than any other outsourced answering service company. While competitors wait for an agent to become available, our AI system handles unlimited simultaneous calls with zero wait time, any time of day.

What is the pricing of your 800 answering service?
Our plans start at $24.95/month for 30 calls, which includes your 800 number. Traditional answering services typically charge $1-2 per minute plus hidden fees, which can add up to hundreds or even thousands per month. With Upfirst, you get 24/7 coverage and advanced features like call transcripts and CRM integration at one flat rate.
Can I keep my current 800 number?
Yes! You can either forward calls from your existing number to our service or get a new 800 number - it's your choice. If you choose to forward your existing number, we'll walk you through the simple setup process, which takes just a few minutes.
What if I need to adjust how calls are handled?
You can modify your receptionist's knowledge and behavior anytime through our simple dashboard. Whether you need to update pricing, change business hours, add new services, or adjust how certain types of calls are handled, changes take effect immediately. There's no need to retrain human agents or wait for updates to be implemented.
Why is this better than voicemail?
Voicemail feels are impersonal and unprofessional. Many customers hang up before leaving a message. In fact, 80% of callers don’t even bother to leave a voice message. With an AI receptionist who can address concerns, answer FAQs, or route calls correctly, you give customers immediate interaction and build trust from the very first hello.
Your customers hate being sent to voicemail. Give them a better experience when they call your 800 number with Upfirst.
