eTollFree offices at 777 Main Street in downtown Fort Worth, Texas

Proudly Fort Worth — Where the West Begins

This is our hometown, and we love it. From 777 Main Street in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, we've spent years serving the businesses that make this city run — neighbors helping neighbors keep their phones ringing and their technology working.

Our roots run deep in telecom. When the Telecommunications Act deregulated the industry and local competition opened up in 1997, we were right there — working alongside the carriers that built this country's phone network, including Southwestern Bell, known today as AT&T. Nearly three decades later, we're still here, still local, and still answering the phone ourselves.

Founded by Robert L. Wilson Jr., a lifelong telecommunications professional, eTollFree pairs big-carrier experience with hometown accountability — now answering phones for businesses across DFW and the country with AI + live receptionists.

Missed call going to voicemail at a small business

Every Missed Call Is a Customer You Paid For

You spend money making the phone ring — ads, SEO, referrals. Then a third of calls hit voicemail and the caller dials the next result on Google. An answering service isn’t a cost; it’s a leak repair:

  • ~80% of callers won’t leave a voicemail
  • Most callers who can’t reach you call a competitor next
  • One saved job or client often pays for months of service
  • After-hours callers are often the highest-intent buyers
  • Every call is recorded & transcribed — nothing gets lost
AI receptionist and live agent answering together

The Receptionist That’s Never on Another Call

AI-only services frustrate complex callers. Human-only services put people on hold and bill every minute. We built the hybrid that fixes both:

  • AI answers every call on the first ring — no queue, ever
  • Routine calls handled end-to-end: FAQs, bookings, intake
  • Smooth mid-call handoff to live agents when it matters
  • Your rules decide what’s AI, what’s human, what escalates
  • Recordings + transcripts of every conversation in your inbox

Your Whole Front Desk, One Provider

The answering service plugs into phone service we run ourselves — no finger-pointing between vendors when something matters.

Common Questions About Our Answering Service

Both — and that's the point. Our AI receptionist answers instantly, 24/7, takes messages, answers common questions, and books appointments. When a caller needs a person, live agents are part of the service too. You choose the mix: AI-first with human backup, live-first with AI after hours, or anything in between.
Yes — Fort Worth is home. eTollFree operates from 777 Main Street in downtown Fort Worth and provides telephone answering service to businesses across Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, and the entire DFW metroplex, as well as nationwide.
Your phones are covered 24/7/365. After-hours callers are greeted professionally, their needs are handled or captured, urgent calls can be escalated to your on-call person by text or call patch, and everything else is waiting for you in the morning — with recordings and transcripts.
The AI receptionist answers on the first ring, every time — it physically cannot be busy with another call. There's no hold queue and no voicemail black hole. That matters because roughly 80% of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message.
Yes. The receptionist connects to your calendar and books, reschedules, and confirms appointments during the call — then sends automatic reminders to cut no-shows. It works with most scheduling systems.
Far less than a hire. A full-time receptionist runs $35,000+ a year and covers 40 hours a week; our service covers all 168 hours for a small monthly rate. Because AI handles the routine volume, you're not paying live-agent-per-minute prices for every call. Book a demo and we'll quote your exact call volume.
Callers get a natural, professional conversation — most simply feel taken care of. We configure it honestly for your brand: it can introduce itself as your virtual receptionist, and hand off smoothly to a live person whenever the conversation needs one.
Absolutely. Custom greeting, your business name, your FAQ answers, your escalation rules, your hours. Callers experience your front desk — not a generic call center.
Contractors and home services who can't answer on a ladder, law and professional offices that can't miss intake calls, medical and dental practices needing after-hours coverage, real estate teams, e-commerce, and any small business tired of losing leads to voicemail.
Traditional services put callers on hold at peak times, bill by the minute for every call, and hand you messages you still have to act on. Ours answers instantly (AI never has a queue), handles routine calls end-to-end — booking, FAQs, intake — and only involves live agents where they add value. You get more coverage for less money.
