Answering service
Setup and implementation of this was as easy as can be. Mindy was great. She was very easy to get in touch with when I had a question, and also kept me updated every step of the way.

Thank you for choosing us as the voice of your business in 2024.

Our virtual receptionists provide stellar first impressions and the same stellar customer experience they’d receive if your team was on duty.. We appreciate your partnership and will be sure to share this feedback.
Client Confidence in Map Communications
The systems and architecture are well set up. Flowchart scripts insure accuracy on incoming client calls.
Although I have worked with the back office and the accounting personnel, our Account Manager Traci Walker carries the day for the continuity of "keeping in touch" and solving issues as they will and do come up. I refer Map Communications on a regular basis for "live reception" with the complexity of responses to potential clients.

This company charges for ROBO calls
This company charges for ROBO calls, meaning anyone can call even junk calls and you will be charged for it. We have a small, very small business and spending over 400$ a month on this service with no more than 15 legit calls. We tried talking to them and they will not work with us as their customers. Very poor customer service. Time to disconnect. We just noticed in the last 2-3 months and we can’t believe this has been going on for years! We have used them for over a decade now. They would have kept taking advantage had we not caught it. Shame on them for not owning up to their technology error.

Thank you for taking time to review our company, we would love to discuss this further with you, however this review does not have enough information to help us identify your account, please call us to review different options. Our customer’s forward their phone lines to us, which are answered by a live agent, when lines are forwarded to our service any Robo calls placed to your office line also forwards to us. We have found that customers who have a pre-greeting on their line prior to forwarding to us in many cases reduce the Robo calls. In reviewing calls over the last 6 months where customers have inquired on Robo calls, in each case we have offered to put in place pre-greetings on our end to help to reduce Robo Calls. This is customer specific as some customers do not wish to have a pre-greeting due to various reasons including but not limited to automated calls they may receive. Please call us directly to review your account and different options for handling Robo calls specific to your requirements.
Im cancelling this service
Im cancelling this service. Various irrégularités such as charging extra for Holidays, poor messages, long wait for someone to pick up but the last straw was when someone at Map called our medical office at 4:00 am and left a message asking what our ID number was ? Shouldn’t they know that? I pay monthly and on time. They never miss a bill but these errors in service are lost income for me and put our practice at liability risk if a patient calls and we don’t get the text.As a result I did not get a message paged out to me from a hospital with an emergency consult.

Great Salesmen but Horrible Service
My first and foremost questions before signing up with MAP is if the calls are answered in the United States by English speaking people. While this may be true when I would call my number to check in a person with a heavy Indian accent answered which gave the impression that my phone number went to a foreign answering service. Also, when I would call to check I would immediately get put on hold for an extended period of time. I wonder how many potential customers I lost because I used their horrible service for several months.

Being charged for calls that are not ours. Being charged for holidays when we clearly do not work them and it’s stated in our contract. The company refuses to acknowledge this and fix the situation and continues to charge us.

Customers often get put into a system before they get a live person and end up getting angry & hanging up. The call back till they get a live person. Messages are often incomplete missing key information that causes a delay in us locating the customer and responding to them. Think it is not a good fit for our business model as it stands today.

We have used the services a handful of times since signing on with you this spring. Everything is going quite well, but I was somewhat concerned about a recent test call I made. The operator did not seem to be following the script as requested. This might have been just a one time thing, but since this is a very sensitive call (imminent death or death occuring), it is important to follow the protocol.

Hi Eric, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. To explain our billing, we bill the base fee for service in advance and usage in arrears. This is why you will see the base fee charge for the next month on your invoices. If you would like further clarification on this, we would welcome the opportunity to explain further. You may reach our Customer Support Team at 800-627-0114 or via email custsvc@mapcommunications.com. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service!
thank you!
I am a small business owner who would be lost without MAP. As the country has opened up and is starting to bounce back, I am getting more phone calls then before the shut down. My calls get handled by MAP Comm professionally so that I can prioritize who to handle in what order.
