Mega-List of Over 100 Work-at-Home Phone Jobs

The following is a list of legit companies that hire people to do work from home involving the use of a phone (customer service, tech support, etc.) broken down by type.

What Types of Phone Jobs Are There?

Most phone jobs fall into customer service, sales, or tech support categories. There are also a few jobs that are harder to classify.

For example, there are answering services that hire remote workers to to handle appointment setting for small business owners, and there are jobs where you call people to ask survey questions or conduct telephone polls. 

Does Phone Work Require Past Experience?

The short answer is – some do, some don’t.

Phone jobs are actually some of the easiest to get in a lot of cases because many of them don’t require any experience, and some don’t even have education requirements. But it really depends on the company.

For example, you’ll find quite a few customer service jobs in the list below that will only hire people with a year (or more) of prior experience, while others will hire almost anybody and give them a chance.

In a lot of cases, the better paying positions do require some degree of experience, so this is a field where you might want to work your way up the ladder over time, starting off with the opportunities that have the least strenuous requirements, and building up your resume to get better gigs in the future.

What Equipment Do You Usually Need To Do This Work?

Most of these companies will require that you have a headset for making and/or taking calls, so be sure to check out this list of good, affordable headsets you can buy for work from home phone jobs.
