An answering service with a real disaster recovery plan keeps answering your calls when a carrier fails, the power dies, or a storm takes out a whole region — so your callers never know anything went wrong. We run geographically separated call centers, each with redundant phone and internet circuits that fail over automatically. If the grid goes down, our natural gas generators pick it up. And your data is backed up onsite every 15 minutes, with nightly copies to five data centers around the country. We're family-owned and award-winning; our agents are US-based, and we've kept American businesses answered since 1932.
When severe weather, natural disasters, or unexpected disruptions occur, having multiple call centers across the U.S. ensures uninterrupted service, and when disaster hits your own callers, our emergency answering service keeps their damage calls answered and dispatched around the clock. Our two fully redundant call center locations are geographically separated—one in Jackson, Michigan, and one in Tampa, Florida—reducing the risk of a single event affecting our business and yours.
Redundant telephone and internet circuits with automatic failover.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and natural gas generators to maintain operations during power outages.
Each call center facility has redundant telephone and internet circuits with automatic failover. In addition, each location has its own uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system and natural gas generators to ensure operations are not affected by loss of electricity from the power grid.
All critical servers and ACD functionality are redundant, allowing for failover should one become unavailable.
All your data is backed up onsite every 15 minutes, and nightly offsite backups are sent to five data centers strategically located in different geographic regions within the United States. In addition to facilities redundancy, we have available staff at multiple locations.
If one telephone carrier goes down, automatic failover to an alternate carrier is immediately put into place. For systems failure, the affected system fails over to its redundant counterpart.
In the case of hardware failure, the backup systems take over immediately.
Today’s digital landscape presents evolving risks, from ransomware to malware. Our advanced threat protection systems proactively defend against these threats, keeping your data and communications secure. We continuously monitor our infrastructure, so any risk is met with an immediate response.
IT teams that need the same resilience for their own clients can lean on our IT answering service too.

They keep getting answered. We run two geographically separated call centers, in Jackson, Michigan and Tampa, Florida, with staff at both. If one location or one carrier goes down, calls fail over automatically to the other. Our critical servers and call distribution systems are redundant too, so one piece of hardware won't take you offline.
An answering service built so your phones stay covered during an outage or disaster, whether the problem's at your end or ours. In practice that means redundant circuits and carriers, backup power, separated locations, and a documented failover plan. Your callers still reach a person when something's gone wrong.
We back up onsite every 15 minutes, with nightly offsite backups to five data centers in different regions of the United States. We also run advanced threat protection against ransomware and malware, monitor our infrastructure continuously, and test the whole thing regularly.
Each call center has an uninterruptible power supply plus natural gas generators, so we keep running when the grid doesn't. Phone and internet circuits are redundant at both facilities, and if a carrier fails, your calls fail over to an alternate carrier automatically.
We'll make sure you never miss a call without having to worry about security concerns when working with an answering service. That same redundancy backs our after hours answering service, so your line stays covered on nights, weekends, and holidays.
