    LEX Reception is certainly best suited as an answering service for law firms. LEX Reception would be particularly useful for firms that have limited staff and need a solution without hiring an employee or for other firms that need overflow call answering or after-hours call answering. If the firm needs personal assistant/call-out features LEX Reception may be less appropriate.

    Ruby Virtual Receptionist Services is well suited for a business that needs call screening and message-taking services. The service is expensive but if the user is willing to put a lot of time and effort into planning and scriptwriting, as well as call handling instructions, it may work well. Also, if there is not much information that must be captured by the receptionist, I feel this may be a better fit.

    We switched over from Answer First to Ruby Receptionist because we wanted a more full-service answering service. We wanted to be able to call out using our business number as well as text in and out. We also really liked the "call-out request" feature as it freed up our time and allowed Ruby to handle minor client communications, etc.
