How do I use the Rinkel answering service?

With the Rinkel answering service you transfer calls to our call centre. Our team will pick up the phone for you, introduce themselves as employees of your company and make a note of the call, which you will receive directly in your mailbox.

You will receive the name and telephone number of the caller, so that you can call them back at a convenient time. You pay € 2 for each call picked up by the answering service.

Please note that our staff are not able to answer substantive questions, they will always adhere to the following script:

"Good afternoon, this is Jasmine from Loodgietersbedrijf van der Lek. The number you are calling has not been answered and you have been forwarded. If I may take your name and phone number, my colleague will call you back as soon as possible."
