| When I first started we actually answered the phone numbers of people during certain times or after a certain number of rings. I do not know exactly how this was accomplished but it was limited to the people being in a certain geographic area. These were for special clients, doctors lawyers, producers, the occasional star, etc. Most of our clients however had a general number that we would answer and then hold the message for them to call in or in some cases we would contact them (extra fee) at a number they gave us. shortly after I moved to the second answering company, call forwarding was introduced and except for one or two clients, all of our clients used that in addition to a general number they could give out if they did not wish to give out their personal number. By the time I moved to the third service, everything was on call forwarding. |
