Why your business needs a bilingual phone answering service

It's no longer enough to offer just one language option—your customers expect more. The U.S. is home to countless languages, with Spanish being the second most common. If you're not meeting Spanish speakers and other non-English speakers where they are, you risk losing them to competitors who do.

With our bilingual virtual receptionists, you can break down language barriers and improve your customer support. Our bilingual answering service helps you welcome an even bigger customer base by providing 24/7 call answering, booking appointments, answering FAQs, and qualifying leads—in both English and Spanish.

So the next time someone calls and asks, "¿Hablas español?", you can confidently say, "¡Sí, claro!" ("Yes, of course!")

      Save time and money

      The costs of hiring in-house receptionists to answer calls can build up fast, especially for small businesses. With a bilingual virtual receptionist handling calls, you save with an affordable monthly plan and reap all the same benefits as an in-house Spanish speaking receptionist. On top of that, you automate simple administrative tasks like appointment setting so you can spend time on other tasks that actually move the needle for your business.

            Have a question about our bilingual phone answering service that isn't answered here? Get in touch with our team.

            What industries do you serve?

            Our bilingual telephone answering service supports a wide range of industries, with particular expertise in legal, real estate, and professional services. Our bilingual law firm answering service is especially popular among immigration attorneys, personal injury firms, and family law practices who need reliable 24/7 bilingual support. We also serve contractors, financial services, wellness providers, and many other businesses that value professional multilingual communication.

            What languages does Upfirst's answering service offer

            Currently, we offer full support in English and Spanish. We understand that language preferences can vary by region and industry, so our bilingual virtual receptionist is trained to smoothly transition between languages based on each caller's needs.

            Can your service integrate with my CRM and other tools?

            Absolutely. We offer integrations with popular CRMs, scheduling tools, and other business platforms. This way, caller info goes straight into your system of record, reducing the chance of human error and speeding up follow-ups.

            Can your call answering service?

            Yes! Our bilingual telephone answering service is designed to handle multiple simultaneous calls without compromising quality. Unlike a single receptionist who can only handle one call at a time, our system ensures no caller ever gets a busy signal or has to wait in a lengthy queue.

            Why is this service better than a traditional voicemail?

            Unlike voicemail, our bilingual answering service provides real-time, human interaction that can capture leads, schedule appointments, and resolve issues immediately. When Spanish-speaking customers call, they're greeted by a virtual receptionist who can help them right away, rather than struggling with automated English prompts or leaving messages that might get lost in translation.

            What language will my call transcripts be in?

            With our bilingual answering service with transcription, you'll receive transcripts in both the original language of the call and an English translation. This means if a call was in Spanish, you'll get both the Spanish transcript for accuracy and an English translation for reference. This dual-language approach ensures nothing gets lost in translation while keeping all team members informed regardless of their language abilities.

            How much does your bilingual answering service cost?

            We offer affordable and flexible pricing to suit businesses of all sizes, with plans starting at just $24.95 for 30 calls per month. Unlike traditional answering services that charge premium rates for bilingual support, we include Spanish-speaking capabilities at no extra cost. As one of the most cost-effective bilingual answering services available, we make professional multilingual support accessible to small businesses. Plus, we offer a 14-day free trial so you can experience our virtual receptionist service firsthand before committing.
