Remember to inquire about your employment status. Some virtual call centers hire their workers as employees (and may even provide benefits). Other companies use independent contractors to perform the call center tasks.

A few companies that use virtual call centers include:

• Alpine Access
  
  
• Arise
  
  
• LiveOps
  
  
• West
