What is Call Answering?

What is call answering, simply defined, is the process of having a professional team to answer your telephone calls for you, then transferring them to whatever telephone number you provide. This service can be as simple as a blind transfer of the call, to call screening and even message taking.  Your calls can be transferred to any one of your given phone numbers, including your office, cell phone or home phone.
