Bilingual virtual receptionists

Expand your reach with 24/7 bilingual call answering.

Exceptional service sounds the same in every language. Start delighting callers in both English and Spanish with Ruby’s friendly and fluent virtual receptionists!

We connect with callers in their preferred language.

Did you know that Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States? Well, it is! And about 13% of US residents speak Spanish at home. That means millions of potential customers might prefer chatting in Spanish instead of English when calling a business. So, helping them in their primary language when they reach out to your business isn’t just nice—it’s clave (key)!

Our virtual receptionists are ready to answer calls in both English and Spanish 24/7/365. With Ruby, each caller talks to a real person who can answer their questions, collect important information, and leave a lasting impression.

Win more business with bilingual call answering. ¡Que no se te escape nada! Don’t let anything get away!

Offering bilingual options doesn’t just keep your existing customers happy—it also opens your organization up to countless new prospects. And it is so simple. Our receptionists answer calls in español and then perfectly relay the message back to you in English. You’ll never miss an opportunity, plus your clients will love you even more.

But what exactly is a bilingual answering service? Let’s talk numbers:

1-in-8-bilingual

1 in 8 people in the US speaks Spanish at home.

60%-of-consumers

60% of global consumers rarely or never buy from English-only websites.

68% of consumers would switch to a brand that offers support in their native language.

So, what happens when you can’t assist Spanish-speaking callers?

  • You lose leads.
  • You create frustrating customer experiences.
  • You miss out on a huge audience ready to do business with you.

On the flip side, businesses that offer bilingual customer service get:

  • More customers because you’re accessible to more people.
  • Higher customer satisfaction because people feel valued and understood.
  • Stronger brand loyalty because you show you care.

That’s why bilingual support is a business game-changer. With Ruby’s bilingual telephone and live answering services, you eliminate language barriers, making your business instantly more accessible to millions of native Spanish-speaking customers while expanding your reach to small businesses. You’re basically growing your market overnight.

And the best part? Ruby makes it easy—demasiado fácil (too easy). No need to hire additional staff or stress about translations for Spanish-speaking clients. We’ve got it covered. Sit back, relax, and let Ruby cast a huge net to turn potential opportunities into loyal, long-term business.

¿Necesitas servicio en español? (Need service in Spanish?)

We’ve got you covered! What are you waiting for? Camarón que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente.

Literal translation: The shrimp that sleeps is carried away by the current.

Meaning: Stay alert, so you don’t miss out on great opportunities (like this one)!

With Ruby, it’s easy (es fácil):

  1. “¿Habla español?” (“Do you speak Spanish?”) A customer calls in Spanish.
  2. Sí, ¿en qué puedo ayudarle?” (“Yes, how can I help you?”) A trained Ruby receptionist answers, interprets, and gathers the needed information.
  3. “Your client said…” We relay the message to you in English—clearly and accurately.

Bilingual telephone answering services are much more than a call center, they’re a way to make your customers feel seen, heard, and valued. After all, it’s much easier to have a meaningful connection with someone if you’re both speaking the same language.

I am very pleased with the professionalism of the Ruby team when they are interacting with my clients. It is a service that has proven to be a must have in our business.

FAQs

When a Spanish-speaking caller reaches your business, a Ruby receptionist listens, interprets the request, and then relays it to you in English. This way, you get the message clearly and accurately, without needing to speak Spanish.

Not all Ruby receptionists are bilingual, but if a Spanish speaker calls a receptionist who only speaks English, they will say, “un momento, por favor” (one moment, please) and seamlessly transfer the call to one of their many bilingual coworkers.

Nope! Bilingual answering is included in all Ruby plans at no additional cost. There are no hidden fees or extra charges. Other answering services typically range from $50–$1,500+ per month, depending on features and call volume.

With over 43 million Spanish speakers in the US, not offering bilingual support likely means losing customers to competitors. Ruby helps you stay on top of your game by helping capture leads, improve customer experience, and grow your business.

Yes! If your business allows it, we can book appointments based on your guidelines—gathering the necessary info from Spanish-speaking callers and passing it to your team in English.

Absolutely! We’re available 24/7, so if you need after-hours or backup bilingual support, we’ve got you covered.

  • Medical and dental offices
