What after-hours answering costs
$49 for a 30-day pilot, then $99, $149 or $299 a month, flat. No contract, no setup fee, no overage, and nothing extra for spam calls, hang-ups, nights or holidays. Not worth it after the pilot? Text us within 30 days and the $49 comes back.

What you never pay for
The billing questions owners ask first, answered up front.
Is there a contract?
No. Cancel by text, or just turn forwarding off.
What if I go over my minutes?
Nothing changes on your bill. Minute 201 costs $0. If you're over every month, we'll suggest the plan that fits, and your bill never changes without your OK.
Do spam calls, hang-ups or setup tests count?
No. Your price is flat, so none of them cost you anything. Test calls during setup are on us.
Is there extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. They're the whole point, and they're included in every plan.
Is there a setup fee?
No. Setup is a 15-minute call with us, included.
How do I cancel, and when does billing stop?
Text us or turn forwarding off. Your last charge is the month you cancel.
What happens when the pilot ends?
On day 30 we go over your call log together, and you pick a plan or stop. Nothing renews on its own.
