AI Answering Service in Calgary, Alberta.

Do you answer Calgary calls after hours?

Yes. Every call to your Calgary number is answered on the first ring at any hour, including evenings, weekends, and statutory holidays, at the same $0.60 per answered minute. There is no after-hours premium and no separate night plan. Roughly two thirds of the week falls outside standard business hours in Mountain Time, and that is where most Calgary businesses lose work they never knew about.

Urgent calls follow rules you set: emergencies are transferred or paged to your on-call person by call and SMS with the caller's details already captured, while routine callers are booked into the next open slot and confirmed before they hang up. Everything else arrives as a transcript and summary for the morning. The same behaviour is described on the after-hours answering service page.
