    Chime Overflow · AI call centre backup and after-hours cover

    Your overflow number, answered and booked.

    Forward your after-hours, weekend or overflow line to Chime. Every call gets picked up in your business name, the job is captured, and the booking is written back into your system. Your people keep the calls they can get to.

    Every call your team cannot get to is a job that walks.

    When the queue backs up, when it is 8pm on a Tuesday, or when your operators are already on other calls, the next ring goes to voicemail. Customers with an urgent problem do not leave one. They call the next business on the list.

    Chime Overflow sits behind the number you already forward when your team cannot pick up. Every call still gets a human tone, a real capture, and a booking in your system.

    In plain terms

    What a call centre overflow service actually does

    Call centre overflow (or call center overflow, if you are reading this from the US) is simply cover for the calls your own phone team cannot get to. You forward your overflow, after-hours or weekend line to Chime, Chime answers it in your business name, captures the job and books it into the system your team already runs.

    It is deliberately narrow. Chime Overflow only ever handles what you forward to it — the calls your operators answer stay with your operators. If you do not have a phone team at all and want nights and weekends covered on your main line, our after-hours answering service is the better fit.
