8 years and counting.....

A business associate recommended Pocket Receptionist to me, and eight years later, the service and support are still going strong. Having a busy and varied work schedule often means that it is not always possible to answer the phone straight away, so having a receptionist service that you can personalize and adapt has been a great asset to my business.

These guys do it perfectly

Good quality, consistent service, ideally blended as the perfect support for our business, whatever other activities we may have on and during the course of a natural working day and across weekends. I am a big believer in our prospective buyers and sellers always speaking to a human, rather than just leaving a voicemail, and these guys do it perfectly

Was told £399+vat per month

Was told £399+vat per month. They will significantly overcharge you and will not refund the difference or cancel your account when requested. Avoid !!!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns, especially since you’ve chosen to work with us again, knowing the value we strive to bring to your business.

I have reviewed your account again and I noticed that while we initially recommended a higher package to meet your needs, you opted for a lower package. We did clarify at the time that this could lead to additional charges for out of bundle calls, as our services do not operate on a fixed fee basis.

In October, you requested a review of charges above £399 + VAT for the past year. I carefully reviewed each invoice and provided a detailed breakdown, confirming their accuracy for your reference. We didn’t hear back until recently, at which point you expressed an interest in cancellation. As per our policy and our email to you, a one month notice is required from your billing date (November 3rd), so your account is set to close on December 3rd.

Game changer!

This online receptionist service has been a game-changer for our business! They handle every call with professionalism, book clients seamlessly, and keep our schedule running smoothly. It’s like having a full-time receptionist team without the extra overhead. Our clients love the prompt service, and we’ve noticed a significant increase in bookings. Highly recommended for any business looking to enhance customer service and streamline operations!

Amazing service

Amazing service, delivers all the info you need to call customers back on your terms when you're ready. Also dissuade cold callers /nuisance. I like that if a current client rings they can check if I'm free to take it first.

Incomplete information being taken.

We are receiving calls where the names, addresses and contact details are incorrect due to spelling errors and the contact details not being asked for and added to our contact forms.
The service needs to be improved by Pocket Receptionist staff monitoring the calls taken by their staff.
