FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s some of the most common questions people ask about our telephone answering service<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Are you UK-based and are the calls ever outsourced?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Posh is 100% based in the United Kingdom and we never outsource calls. We have a growing team of talented receptionists who work at our headquarters in Reading. Stop by and see us if you are ever in the area!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What’s your average pick-up time?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We answer over 95% of calls by the third ring. This quick answer time sets the table for the rest of the caller experience. By promptly answering the phone, we are letting your callers know that they are a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Can I keep my number?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, you can. When you sign up for Posh\u2019s telephone answering service, we will provide you with a dedicated phone number unique to your account. All you have to do is forward your existing number to the one we give you whenever you want us to handle your calls. You don\u2019t even have to port your number to us in order to use the secure calling feature in the Posh app<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Can you transfer calls to me?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Absolutely. You can even use the Posh app to tell us when you are available to have calls transferred to you. If you are busy in a meeting or need to focus on other things, tap the app and we will know not to disturb you. Only want select callers to be transferred to you? No problem. We have got you covered.<\/span><\/p>\n
