It typically takes 3-5 business days from our first call to getting your service live so you never miss a call again.
We're not one of the answering services that offer instant set-ups, and that's for a reason. We've refined our set-up process over the near-100 years that we've been doing this so that we can better understand your needs to better serve your business.

Answering your phones quickly is our top priority.
We answer 80% of calls within 3 rings or less. For the small number of calls that go on hold, we aim to keep the wait time under 60 seconds.
Most of the time, we answer even faster. But the 80% in 3 rings standard is considered the gold standard for the industry. It’s also the benchmark used by third-party evaluators like ATSI and CAM-X to grade the best answering services in the country — and that's why we use it too!
We keep all Duluth calls in-house, handled by our trained, U.S.-based team.
We're based in Michigan, but our service supports businesses across the USA, including hundreds in Duluth.
