A live receptionist is better than a virtual receptionist. It can be difficult to control a virtual receptionist when they are not in the office.
No, you do not have to have a live receptionist. You can have a virtual receptionist that can work from your own laptop.
These workers are more commonly called "Virtual Assistants". You can search this directory: http://www.virtualassistants.com/

Virtual receptionist services can be purchased, or contracted, through a dedicated virtual receptionist service, such as "eVoice"; "Ruby Receptionists"; or "MyReceptionist", or through an aggregate virtual receptionist such as "Answering Service United". While a dedicated virtual receptionist would be the same individual answering each time, like a receptionist in one's office, an aggregate service can offer more than one receptionist at a time during increased call volume, but with the noteable difference of not having a single person answering all one's calls.
$29 a month is a fairly standard rate for a virtual office receptionist. You can find such services at OfficeEvolution.com.
You can search for virtual receptionist jobs on job search websites such as Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, and LinkedIn. You can also check job postings on company websites that offer remote work or virtual receptionist positions. Additionally, freelancing websites such as Upwork and Freelancer are also good sources to find virtual receptionist job opportunities.

Virtual receptionist requires training. You actually download a mind into a computer and then your avatar is projected to clients to assist them in their work needs.
A virtual receptionist can intercept calls forwarded for you. They can answer emails, letters or instant messages for you as well. They can do just about anything a real one can.
