Answering services primarily aim at taking messages from customers and solving their issues and queries on weekends, holiday and after working hours on weekdays.

Answering services function in different ways. The main categories based on their functioning are:

• Live answering services: In live answering services, the most popular approach is tele-conversations. However, queries can be addressed by emails as well as chat conversations. In tele-conversation as well as  chat conversation resolution of inquiries is faster and immediate compared to email answering.
