Question: What is the point of an answering service if they don't take messages.?
i work for a medical supplier and frequently have to call dr's offices to obtain prescription information. i have been both surprised and annoyed to find out that they use an after-hours answering service that doesn't take messages. what, pray tell, is the bloody point of an answering service that doesn't take messages.? wouldn't it be both cheaper and more logical to get an answering machine.?Health Question & Answer

I can relate to this, yes it would be so much easier to have an answering machine. I have yet in my whole life to actually get anyone from an answering service to call me backHealth Question & Answer
LOL how retarded is that.? I totally agree. I don't know if an answering machine will only hold x amount of messages, but there has to be some sort of system that can store quite a bit. You should let these doctors know. Smart at medical stuff and not so smart at commons sense things. Health Question & Answer
