Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 24 hour answering service?+

A 24 hour answering service answers your business phone calls around the clock — including nights, weekends, and public holidays. Traditional services use human agents on rotating shifts. AnswerMate uses AI, answering every call in under 2 seconds at any hour, from $199/month.

How much does a 24 hour answering service cost in Sydney?+

Human 24-hour answering services in Sydney typically cost $400–$1,500/month depending on call volume and hours. AnswerMate's AI-powered 24/7 service starts from $199/month with no per-minute fees and no lock-in contract.

Which businesses in Sydney need a 24 hour answering service?+

Any business that receives urgent calls outside business hours: electricians, plumbers, and tradies for emergency jobs; medical and dental clinics for after-hours patient queries; law firms for time-sensitive client matters; real estate agents for property enquiries; mortgage brokers for pre-approval requests.

Can a 24 hour answering service book appointments?+

Yes. AnswerMate books appointments into your calendar around the clock and sends the caller an SMS confirmation. Overnight bookings are waiting in your calendar when you start the next day.

What happens to after-hours calls without an answering service?+

Without 24-hour answering, calls go to voicemail — and 55% of callers don't leave a voicemail. They call the next business on Google instead. For trades, medical, and professional services businesses, one missed after-hours call often means losing a client worth $500–$5,000+.

How is AnswerMate different from a traditional 24 hour call centre?+

Traditional 24-hour call centres use offshore or local human agents on rotating shifts — expensive, inconsistent, and impersonal. AnswerMate is AI: answers in under 2 seconds every time, trained specifically on your business, costs from $199/month, and sounds like a natural Australian.
