Your customers are real people with real needs. When they call, they deserve to be dazzled by a person who really cares about their problems, not ignored by a cold machine.
The Premium Call Answering Service for Texas’ Best Businesses
Nobody wants to talk to a machine
Yet, at most companies, a customer’s first point of contact is with an aggravating machine called a voicemail. Or even worse, a robot called an automated voice service. You know, the machine that drones monotonously: “If you know your party’s extension, you can dial it at any time…blah…blah…blah.” After that, you know the drill. Wait…wait…and wait.
How many times do customers hang up on the voicemail or automated voice service? And when they do, aren’t they also hanging up on the business that refused to give their problem personal attention?
Yes, they are.
Anything other than a live person answering your phone amounts to bad customer service. And bad customer service costs you valuable customers. Customers that go to your competitors.
Change the narrative with live virtual receptionist service from Apollo Answering Service. Our call answering service ensures your customers never hear an automated response or busy signal again — even after business hours!

Here’s what you can expect from each and every one of our professional virtual receptionists.
Handle Your Overflow
If you often get more calls at one time than anybody can handle, this service is for you.
Here’s how it works: Your customer calls your office, and instead of getting a busy signal, he or she gets a member of the Apollo Team. The Virtual Receptionist takes an accurate message and immediately contacts you (there are a number of ways, we’ll explain them all). All of this means you’ll never miss a call again, even during your busiest call periods. It’s sort of like having an office full of Suzys
Answer After Hours
Exceptional call answering services don’t stop at the end of the day. Because in the multi-time-zone world of the internet, the day never really ends. So no matter when your clients or prospects call — nights, weekends, or holidays — they reach a live, friendly, and professional person who can help them with their needs. Quite a bit different from being dumped in a voicemail box and going unanswered for hours or days. A situation that often leads to the next call being made to your competitor.
Speak English and Spanish
Do your customers speak more than one language? So do we! The great majority of our receptionists are fluent in both English and Spanish. And for those who aren’t, there are at least two bilingual team members assigned to every shift. So if some of your customers are more comfortable speaking Spanish than English, we’re more than happy to speak with them in their preferred language.
Be There in an Emergency
When an emergency happens, it’s important to be available to assist your clients. The Apollo virtual receptionist service team will be there to answer your phones during virtually any type of disaster. What’s more, your employees will be able to call in or out and report problems.
Sound Big
With Apollo Answering Service on the job, even the smallest business can sound like a major multinational company (except friendlier). A polished, professional voice answering your phone can be a big factor in helping your business grow.
Help Your Business Grow
We help our clients focus on their businesses, not their phones. With our professional virtual assistance service team answering every call, you no longer have to worry about missing an important call, not getting a critical message, or irritating potential and current customers with a cold, impersonal, mechanical message. We’ll help you free yourself from your phone, so you’ll be free to grow your business.

Apollo Answering Service History
“If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.” - Aristotle
Apollo’s Answering Service History Begins With Gus Contello
Gus was a plumber. He worked day in and day out, and sometimes even nights, to provide for his wife and five children. After many years of hard work, he was able to start his own business. He was living the American dream!
Although Gus and his family went to bed in the evenings, the plumbing business never sleeps. So often times, his wife, Bernice Contello, would wake up in the middle of the night to answer the phone from a customer calling for emergency service. Being the innovative woman that she was, she realized that if her husband needed help doing this, then so did other people
But really, Apollo’s story is all about his wife, Bernice Contello, a woman ahead of her time.
Bernice realized there was a great demand for live phone answering services. Just about every business could use one. She had learned a lot over the years about running a business while helping with her husband’s plumbing company.
After much planning, her simple idea became a reality. Apollo Answering Service was born in 1966
We are still family owned and operated to this day. In fact, we are now owned by the third generation.
We have been providing live 24/7 telephone answering service for 50 years and have seen many technologies come and go. When the company was first founded, we used bulky telephone switchboards. Yes, we have been serving Houston and surrounding areas for that long. We have used many different technologies over the years. But today, we are completely computerized and have the capability to offer many customized features and services to our clients.
As time has changed, one thing remains the same at Apollo Answering Service: great people. As technology continues to grow, we often opt for more and more automation. However, sometimes, no matter how much technology you deploy, you can never replace people speaking heart-to-heart with people. People are the power of any small business. Apollo Answering Service has people who will dazzle your customers.
