Traditional Answering Services Are Costing You a Fortune
Australian businesses spend an average of $1,200-$2,500 per month on traditional phone answering services — and they still miss calls, lose messages, and frustrate customers with hold times. Here is what you are really paying for.
Per-Call Pricing Traps
Every single call costs you money. 300 calls/month = $750-$1,350 in call charges alone — before monthly fees, surcharges, and extras.
After-Hours Surcharges
Nights, weekends, and public holidays? You pay double or more per call. And those are exactly the times most customer calls happen.
35+ Second Wait Times
Human operators juggle multiple clients. Your caller waits. 73% of them hang up within 60 seconds and call your competitor instead.
Message Relay Failures
Misspelled names, wrong phone numbers, missing details. Manual message relay is error-prone, and you never know what was lost.
No Scaling Capacity
During peak times, your calls queue behind every other client sharing the same operator pool. No priority, no scaling, no control.
12-Month Lock-ins
Most answering services lock you into annual contracts. If the service is bad, you are stuck paying — or paying even more to leave.

0.5-Second Answer
73% of callers hang up after waiting just 60 seconds on hold. Our AI answers every call in under half a second — zero hold music, zero frustration, zero lost leads.
No Per-Call Charges
Answering services like Alltel and OfficeHQ charge $2.50-$4.50 per call, plus message relay fees, surcharges, and extras. Our flat-rate AI means your cost stays the same whether you get 100 or 1,000 calls.
30+ Languages
Australia is one of the most multicultural nations on earth. Our AI speaks Mandarin, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, Greek, Italian, and 25+ more languages — with natural, fluent conversation, not robotic translation.
Instant Scaling
Flash sale? Media mention? Seasonal rush? Traditional answering services cannot scale on demand — you get put in a queue behind other clients. Our AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls with zero degradation.

Businesses That Made the Switch
Real Australian businesses that replaced their traditional answering service with AI.
“We were paying OfficeHQ $1,800 a month to answer our overflow calls. They missed bookings, got patient names wrong, and charged us extra for every after-hours call. Since switching to Yes AI, our monthly cost dropped to $297, we have not missed a single call in four months, and patient bookings are up 23%. The AI even handles our Mandarin-speaking patients — something the old service could never do.”

“As a litigation firm, every missed call could be a $50,000 matter walking out the door. Our previous answering service had a 35-second average pickup time and half the messages were incomplete. The AI answers in under a second, captures every detail, runs a basic conflict check against our client list, and routes genuine emergencies to my mobile. We have picked up 11 new matters in the first quarter that we would have lost to voicemail.”
