Centratel HQ building, Bend, Oregon
U.S. owned and operated, we deliver the statistically highest-quality answering service in America.
But that’s not all: We’re part of the tiny fraction of the 800 answering services in the United States that can instantly evacuate their operational headquarters without a long-term service outage. With our advanced, fault-tolerant telephony infrastructure — especially including 100% off-site redundancy — your answering service will not be interrupted by external intrusions such as power outages, civil unrest, government-issued public emergency mandates, or internal corporate dysfunction issues (Centratel is rock-solid stable: a 37-year one-owner history, debt-free, profitable, and staffed by long-term highly-paid professionals).
And note: unique in the American answering service industry, you’ll have a no-risk/no-obligation 30-day free trial to evaluate quality and cost.
The Highest Quality Telephone Answering Service in the United States
Our most recent Customer Reported Error Rate (July through September, 2021) was 1 customer-reported error for every 9,940 message transactions processed. That’s a statistic far superior to any other answering service in the United States.
30-DAY
FREE TRIAL
100% Fail-Safe Service
Extremely rare for an answering service, we have a fully redundant operation. Should our offices be evacuated for any reason, your service will not be interrupted.
No Long-term Contract
We don’t ask for long-term contracts. This is a philosophical issue. If your telephone answering service is a good value, you will choose to continue each month.
100% U.S. Based Operations
All of Centratel’s Telephone Service Representatives (TSRs) are located right here in the U.S.
“For 37 years we’ve been delivering superb quality call-capture and message dispatch for select professions and businesses.”

Testimonials
Dr. R.C., pathologist,
Portland, Or.
“Terrific. Every contact I have had with (Centratel) staff has been absolutely professional – a ‘ten’ in my book. I have used medical answering services for 15 years and this is the best experience I have ever had.”
Veterinarian, Manistee, Mi.
“I’m very impressed with your operation. Our last answering service (which was our second bad service) was such a disaster I thought I’d never again feel comfortable with an answering service. But with Centratel we feel very confident our rotation will be handled properly. Thanks so much.”
