A Game-Changer for My Business

Pocket Receptionist has been a huge help for my business. The service is reliable, calls are answered promptly and professionally, and messages are delivered straight away. It gives me peace of mind knowing that no enquiry is missed, even when I’m busy with clients. I would definitely recommend them to other small businesses who need a cost-effective and professional call handling solution

Endless Spammers.

Endless Spammers.

I get emails from them bi-weekly, and every single time, it's a variant on a domain name.

pocketreceiptionist-email.co.uk
pocketreceiptionist-updates.co.uk
pocketreceiptionist-news.co.uk

Every week, a new domain. We keep blocking them, but as they keep changing, it's like playing whack-a-mole.

I never signed up for this.

Spammers. Avoid

Spammers.

Keep changing their email address to get round being blocked.

I've been emailed by addresses with the following suffixes: pocketreceptionist-mail, pocketreceptionist-email, pocketreceptionist-news & pocketreceptionist-updates. So despite unsubscribing and blocking, I keep getting spammed by them.

The only reason you would keep creating new email suffixes is the get around blocking so you can continue spamming. Would hope that this kind of behaviour is outlawed under GDPR regulations

Cheap but still brilliant

My business partner and I have been using pocket receptionist for a few months now , since switching from Moneypenny.

Our only regret is not doing this sooner as they're hundreds cheaper per month for the package we're on. I have to upgrade a couple of times but that's only because I trust them enough to handled all of the calls rather than just missed.

Thanks to Denise for setting it all so swiftly. I'll be sending my dad's company referral over for.my £100

Caught out

We used pocket receptionist to answer phones about term while we found a new receptionist, all was ok service and was as advertised unfortunately when you want to cancel your contract they make you stay till the next billing cycle and then charge you another month for a service you clearly are no longer going to use. Always check the small print is what I've learned And believe that you can cancel anytime as long as you pay an additional month!

Hi Jenny. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, though I’m truly sorry to hear you’ve had a disappointing experience when it came to cancelling your account. We’re always upfront about our cancellation terms, after the initial 3-month minimum period, we require a month’s notice to close an account. This is clearly outlined in our Terms and Conditions at sign-up, and it’s in place because we staff our team based on active client needs to ensure a high level of service. I completely understand your frustration, especially if you no longer needed the service. We never want anyone to feel misled, so we’ll take your comments on board. If there’s anything further, we can do to help or clarify, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

An Amazing Service!

Running a business on your own from home is tough, but having Pocket Receptionist take care of my incoming calls has enabled me to free up time and not worry about being disturbed. It allows me to go to trade shows and meet suppliers without the fear of missing potential customers - and the support I have received when I need anything has been second to none. They also allowed me to increase my opening hours from a customer point of view, which has increased revenue. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
