These two answering services Answernet and Signius Communications did not service my company as they promised. First of all, Elda Santovenia said they would be able to handle mass call quantities. She lied, we did a test call with three of our agents and they didnt even answer the phone, nor did they have a voicemail setup for us. We lost thousands of dollars in advertising. I then notified Elda and her manager Hope about this problem and asked for a refund. They both said they can only give us back our depost which is a $100.00, when we paid them $622.00 for their service for the month. I told them that they needed to do refund us atleast half if not the full amount. Hope and Elda said they would get back to me. I waited and waited. I called everyday for 2 weeks sometimes multiple times a day. Neither Hope or Elda bothered to call me back or attempt to resolve the problem. So now I am filling a small claims case about their companies customer service and posting their companies on here, Ripoffreport.com. DO NOT trust these people, they are thieves, also they charge an arm and a leg for their service when my old answering service was fine and they charged half as much. That $622.00 would have been close to $1000.00 a month if I did not talk them down on the price to begin with. Thank God I am not in business with these people anymore.

Worst Cold Calling Company EVER
AUTHOR: Annonymous - (USA)

"8. ERRORS
Answernet agrees and warrants to the client that
it shall throughout the term of this agreement use reasonable skill and care in
accordance with generally accepted industry standards in performing its
obligations under this agreement and undertake and fulfill all elements of the
assignment to the best of its ability."
There should be a clause which basically says that if AnswerNet doesn't do it's job the client doesn't pay. The whole idea of doing telemarketing in the first place is to make money. The only people who profit when they do business with AnswerNet is AnswerNet themselves. They do NOT care about their clients and their agreements are one sided and they are basically looking to screw you within the confines of the law and make a profit for themselves.
Whatever you do, don't do business with these people. They are nothing more than crooks.
#4 UPDATE Employee
Rebuttal to Cash for Gold complaint - fact check
AUTHOR: Donna - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 02, 2010
AnswerNet regrets that our client Cash for Gold, was dissatisfied with the service. However, there are certain statements in the complaint that require some clarification.
Of the 60 customer/test calls received, 9 were put on hold, with the longest wait time of a single call at under 3 minutes. The average time to answer was 16 seconds; and the average wait time was 46 seconds.
In an effort to avoid any wait time at all, the client was offered a personalized auto answer which would pick the call up after 3 rings, and quickly transfer to the first available live agent. The client refused this feature.
Our sales representative, and the General Manager of the call center both returned calls on three occasions with an offer of a refund of the set-up fee and additional compensation of the base rate. The client refused this offer.
If anyone cares to further investigate, there are reports generated off the call switch that will support these statistics.
If any one of our customers or prospects has concerns about service levels or pricing, please don't hesitate to call AnswerNet - we are committed to ensuring that client needs are met.
If there are any questions, please call 800-411-5777, and your call will be directed to Donna Lambertucci, Director of Marketing.
