    Thanks.
    Morphius, While I do not use an answering service, my wife once worked for one long ago and I've looked into this myself at one time. There are quite a few options available. Here are a few resources for finding a solution that might work for you:

    1. Google is your friend - I know it's an obvious resource, but it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve mention.
    2. Local Yellow Pages - Most mid to large cities have several Answering Services and many people find dealing with local company's to be more suitable for their needs.
    3. Craigslist - While it might not be common, some businesses outsource their secretary to take calls and messages for you. I recently stumbled upon a Virtual Office ad that had this service included, the cost was only $50 per month. If you have hundreds of calls coming in a day, this might not be a suitable option.
    4. Outsource - If you are looking for the cheapest options, there are several overseas people and companies that do just that. A couple of good places to look for these types of companies and individuals would be at odesk and easyoutsource.


    I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

      Thanks for the reply, but I was looking for recommendation and not sources where to advertise.

      Thanks

    "not sources where to advertise"
    I don't think you read my response. I was not giving you "sources where to advertise", I was giving you tips/recommendations on where you can find an answering service that met your needs. You might want to read the full reply before jumping to conclusions - it's the polite thing to do.
