While we appreciate you taking the time to share your comments, we respectfully disagree with the characterization of the services we provide.
Our goal is to build a strong partnership with our clients by proactively monitoring call volume and notifying them when increases may make them eligible for a more cost-effective service plan. We believe this helps our clients manage costs while ensuring they receive the level of service they need.
However, we cannot prevent or eliminate robocalls made to your business telephone number that are subsequently forwarded to our service. Those calls originate outside of our control. To help minimize their impact, we provide all clients with a robocall blocking feature at no additional charge, which is available to reduce unwanted automated calls. More information can be found in our blog post: Stop robocalls for good. | Ruby Blog
We remain committed to providing transparent communication, practical solutions, and responsive service to all of our clients.
Experience has been great so far. Absolutely was paired with an amazing rep, Kali! Made me totally comfortable with the process, providing comprehensive information that ultimately helped me make the decision to join the Ruby family so to speak. Kali was awesome at what she does. Great customer service and communications expert. If the rest of Ruby is like her, then us at Big League Air LLC are in to make A LOT of money! Highly recommended. Ask for Kali.

I used to pay my secretary $110,000 a year to answer my business line. Now i pay Ruby about $6000 a year for 24/7 answering service.
I never thought the level of customer service that Ruby provides is what i was signing up for. They are simply amazing, Ruby isn't just a phone answering/ messaging platform. Ruby spends time with my costumers and help them navigate my website for booking.
My costumers have commented how nice and professional Ruby is on the incoming calls.

We live in a rural state. Our small business, choosing between maintaining our equipment and taking phone calls from potential clients started to become a dealbreaker on whether we could sustain the business. Ruby is well priced and without sounding too dramatic -probably saved our small business. In small communities, especially with seasonal businesses that have challenges finding full-time or even part-time employees. Ruby filled a need for us ensuring our small town clientswhile still feeling like they’re talking to one of our neighbors.

To say I found my new best friend is an understatement with Christina! Our office has been inundated with calls and I have vetted many many companies in the last few weeks, but there is no question I have put all my total trust into Christina and Ruby and can’t wait to start! She exudes confidence and explains things completely even though I might get in the weeds. You cannot go wrong talking to Christina at Ruby.! I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Since March 15, 2026, three clients have told me that when they call my line (which Ruby picks up), they get a noise then dead silence.
I have told Ruby about 2 of the 3 callers. Ruby has a note of the caller and the phone number but claim there was no one on the line.
After 5 answering services in 11 years, this has not happened with any but Ruby. While I like Ruby's answering style the most, it troubles me that 3 of my clients have not been able to reach me for a scheduled call or over an urgent issue.
Reply from Ruby2026-05-18
Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to report these concerns to our Customer Happiness team. We understand how upsetting it can be when a client is unable to connect during an important or urgent situation, and we appreciate the opportunity to investigate the experiences you shared. Following the two reported incidents, our team completed testing and reviewed the related call records. In both cases, the line tests were successful, and the calls appeared in our system as hang ups, indicating that no active connection was detected at the time the calls came through. Based on our investigation, these instances appeared to be isolated rather than part of the broader service issue.
That said, we never want any caller experience to feel unreliable, and we truly appreciate you bringing these to our attention. We’re also grateful for your acknowledgement of the positive experiences you’ve had with our service over the years. Your trust means a great deal to us, and we remain committed to providing dependable support for both you and your clients. If any additional examples arise, we encourage you to continue sharing the caller details with our team so we can investigate for both you and your clients.
Ruby Services was very flexible with our specific directions for tailoring calls to our needs. They were able to change as our needs have changed. They are so kind, understanding, and helpful. A great customer experience. We highly recommend this agency.

First time answering hire. Checked many, really impressed with Ruby.
First time hiring an answering service. Checked with a few. You have the best “by far” contact with Kali Henson. She is not just extremely professional and knowledgeable, but with the best disposition and a relentless follow up. She sold me on Ruby.

Exceptional Strategic Support – A Rare Find in 25 Years of IT/Marketing
I’ve spent over two decades in IT and Marketing, and I rarely encounter customer success service as phenomenal as what Anase N'gadi provides at Ruby. Anase is more than just a support contact; he’s a true partner who took the time to understand our strategic goals and even the "workarounds" we’ve implemented to maximize efficiency. From helping us activate advanced AI features like Sentiment Analysis and Transcription to discussing complex future integrations for our billing processes, Anase’s expertise is evident. If you’re looking for a service that truly scales with your business, Ruby is the gold standard.
