ALWAYS-ON COVERAGE

What Is a 24/7 Answering Service?

A 24/7 answering service answers your business phone around the clock: business hours, nights, weekends and holidays. Calls are answered in your business name, messages and appointments are handled per your instructions, and nothing waits for the morning unless you want it to.

With Abby you choose who answers each part of the day. Many businesses route business-hours calls to their dedicated receptionist team and overnight calls to the AI Receptionist; others keep human receptionists on every call, day and night. Both are part of the same subscription, and you can change the mix at any time.

  • Every call logged: recordings, transcripts, AI summaries and caller sentiment in the AbbyGO app and my.abby.com portal.
  • Emergency protocols: urgent calls escalate to your on-call staff at any hour.
  • Bilingual, always: English and Spanish answering is included 24/7 on every plan.
  • Coverage your way: full-time, after-hours and overflow only, or anything in between.

WHAT IT COSTS

Does 24/7 Answering Cost More?

No. Abby’s 24/7 coverage is a configuration, not an add-on: nights, weekends and holidays carry no upcharge. You pay in Abby Minutes for the calls we answer, whenever they happen.

One minute with a human receptionist uses one Abby Minute; one minute with the AI Receptionist uses half, so AI-heavy call handling makes the same plan go twice as far. Plans start at $165 a month for 50 Abby Minutes and scale to 500, with Enterprise plans on request. Every plan is month-to-month with a free trial and no setup fee, and 24/7 coverage carries no after-hours or weekend upcharge. Full details are on the pricing page.
