"We have tried using a few call answering services in the past, and have been using JAM and their answer service for nearly 10 years now as both an overflow and out of office call answering facility. We cannot fault the service and the team at JAM always act professionally and courteous towards our clients and prospective clients when taking messages for us. The online dashboard is clean and easy to use, and makes a great addition to their operation."
