FAQs

You may lose out on important conversations or leads since many callers end their calls when they reach voicemail. Making sure a live person answers your calls instead of a voicemail or a robot boosts client happiness, fosters loyalty, and enhances your ability to establish a connection and get caller information. By instructing your receptionist to transfer or take messages for only the call types you want to receive, live call answering also enables you to screen calls. After responding, you may prioritize who you will call back first and view each message as it is taken.

Indeed! Oristus is an USAn business that is privately held. About 90% of our whole USA staff, including our virtual receptionists.

We have the widest selection of local numbers of any American supplier of virtual reception services thanks to our 66 telephone exchanges.

Yes, our team of receptionists can answer calls you’d usually miss. You may be on another call or simply unable to answer because you’re busy at the time. Our receptionists will take a detailed message and send to you instantly by email or SMS. Many clients who subscribe to our service are surprised when they learn how many calls they’d been missing prior to having their calls answered by Oristus.

Indeed, our staff of receptionists is able to take calls that you may otherwise overlook. You could be too busy at the moment to answer, or you might be on another call. After receiving a thorough message, our receptionists will promptly deliver it to you via SMS or email. Many customers who sign up for our service are shocked to find out how many calls they had been missing before Oristus took over.

Indeed. This is known as "call overflow." Many businesses only demand that their phone calls be answered when they are unable to answer them themselves. For instance, you could have several calls coming in at once if you leave the office for an hour or if your in-house receptionist takes a break, goes to lunch, or is occupied with another call. When the phone rings for more than a predetermined amount of time (for example, five rings) or when your line is busy or engaged, you can configure your business phone number to divert (to the special local phone number we assign your firm during the Free Trial setup procedure). Our receptionists will then answer the phone in these situations as though we were at your office. You can unwind knowing that you'll never miss another crucial call since you're always in charge!

Call transfers to Oristus are simple. Just follow these steps to have our staff of virtual receptionists take your calls:

Choose whether you want calls to be sent to Oristus right away, which is the ideal option for the majority of organizations, or after a wait.

Find out what call forwarding codes your telecom operator uses. These codes are posted on the websites of the majority of providers.

Utilize the codes to allow calls to be routed to the specific phone number we have assigned to you.

Yes, provided that you are enrolled in a MyDiary or MyAssistant plan. Our staff in USA handles the bulk of calls for MessageExpress and MyReceptionist plans. During unexpected spikes in call volumes, overflow help is accessible from our worldwide locations, such as those in NZ, the UK, and the US. This lowers the possibility of call abandonment by allowing us to guarantee that your calls are always handled as quickly as possible. We are aware that our clients place a high value on Average Speed of Answer (ASA), and one of our primary differentiators is our average response time of less than 10 seconds.

We answer in fewer than four rings.

We take great satisfaction in answering calls in less than 10 seconds on average, which helps you keep irate callers from switching to your rivals.
