Our story

We make the difference.

ProTel was started because we believe there is a great need for a professional call center service — one that puts customer service first. We strive to be a knowledgeable and professional extension of your office, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our agents are well trained and understand that we should represent your office as well as your in-house staff.

We take great pride in providing quality customer service — not quality in terms of simply meeting a basic standard, but quality best described as "the result of care." We are more than an answering service, more than a vendor: we are a partner in servicing your clients with the same quality and values you strive to provide.

Today that same philosophy powers our newest services: an AI receptionist and hybrid AI-to-agent coverage, built on the protocols we've refined for over two decades.

Founded 1998

Karen Roberts founded ProTel in Pearl, Mississippi, to build a company that wasn't just another answering service.

Three principles

Excellent customer service, immediacy, and organization — the foundation ProTel has grown on for 25+ years.

A true extension

We aren't just a call center — we're a professional extension of your office, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our mission

"The result of care."

We know that we represent you to customers, clients and others, and we strive to live up to a great partnership with your company. Everything we do is the result of care. Let us show you how.

Never let a call go unanswered again.

Personal service from people — and technology — that take your business personally.
