What "24 hour" should actually mean

Most agencies on the county roster list a 24-hour number. The difference between them shows up at 3 a.m.: does a licensed bondsman pick up, or does it roll to voicemail and a callback in the morning? Ask two questions on the first call — am I speaking to a licensed bondsman, and how soon can you be at the jail?
