Can Jake answer my 713, 281, 832, 346, and 621 number?

Yes. You keep your Houston number and forward it to Jake with one code dialed on your phone, for every call or only the ones you miss. Callers dial the same number they always have.

Can Jake keep up when a storm hits Houston?

Yes. From 2021 to 2025, NOAA logged 118 hail, wind and flood reports inside Houston limits. Jake answers as many calls at once as come in, so the morning after nobody gets a busy signal or voicemail. He books what he can and puts the urgent calls through to you.

Does Jake speak Spanish with Houston callers?

Yes. He answers in English and switches to Spanish when the caller does, in the same call, on every plan.

How much does an answering service cost in Houston?

Jake costs the same everywhere: Starter is $79 a month for 100 calls, Growth is $199 a month for 350 calls, and Pro is $399 a month for 800 calls. Spam and hang-ups are free, and there is no annual contract.
