24/7 is an abbreviation which stands for "24 hours a day, 7 days a week", usually referring to a production line or service facility or any other business available at all times without interruption. In the UK it may be known as round-the-clock service, with or without the hyphens. In some countries, such services are called nonstop.

Today, it is common for call centers to have representatives available 24/7. This is due to, in part, a decrease in long distance call charges, which allow employees based in one continent and time zone to provide services to customers in another during its night hours.
In some cases, even a service stated to be available 24/7 may shut down, such as on a major holiday.
