It’s your choice how you want to receive your messages, and we will set up your requested options with you when we establish your account. You can choose what customized information you want included from each caller, and how you will receive that information: via voicemail, text message, email, fax, or alpha numeric pager.

When we set up your account, we will work with you to define what situations are considered an emergency and how those calls should be routed. We can set up your system so that urgent calls will be dispatched through directly to a designated office or cell phone number of someone who will handle the situation. If you opt to set up a voicemail or auto attendant system, emergency callers can be redirected to a live operator as needed. If you are a healthcare facility, we will dispatch emergencies to on-call physicians and on-call nurses as needed.

Besides live operators, we also offer a wide variety of phone, voicemail, fax, and email services to fit your professional needs. You can read about these detailed options in the services section of our website.

Our professional operators at Northwest Telephone Answering Service will answer all your calls, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The advantage of hiring our services over a receptionist is that every call you receive will be answered by an available live operator; no one will ever be occupied by another line or another task so that they miss your clients’ calls. Using our answering services also saves you money. Hiring Northwest is approximately one-third of the cost of hiring a full-time receptionist, and you will also be saving on other costs associated with hiring an employee, such as health insurance and potential claims and social security benefits. Additionally, you won’t have to scramble to figure out how to cover an employee’s sick days or vacation time. Our operators will always be available to field your calls, leaving you worry free.
