Answering Services

Does anyone know a good and reliable answering service that wont brake the bank?
I've tried couple of different companies but there is always major problems, and I am constantly looking for another one.

There used to be lots of them local before the cell phone days, but I don't know of any really good ones any more.

The last one that I had was a retired teacher (my 3rd grade math teacher actually) who did it to supplement her retirement. She was outstanding at it, but that doesn't really help you does it?

Do you know of any retired cleaners in your area, that would make a great one. Sometimes, when you can't find something, you have to create one.

Don't know anything about it since I've never used such service but here's one from google search and they said plan starts from $ 24.95 / month, and they said they charge per call not per minute, check them out and let us know what you find out if you decide to call them :-)

I used many over the years, and finally found, not a good one, but a great one!....although for the last few years I've answered my own calls, and haven't used a service. But I have one hell of a recommendation.   .........

National Dispatch Center (NDC)........
Always prompt answering, 24 hours a day by professional operators. Very competitive pricing, very dependable, and the best part of all, A FREE TOLL FREE 800 NUMBER!!    

They're are in San Diego, CA.....but this doesn't matter because with the 800 number they give you, you can forward your phone or have customers direct dial the 800 number, and there will never be any additional phone fees to you, even if you're on the East Coast!   

I used them for 15 yrs, and had no complaints.........although, like I said it's been about 3 yrs since I canceled my service with them, so I can not say if anythings changed since I used them........but they were great for the many years myself and 3 other people I know used them.
