How much does an answering service cost? The real bill, per call and per month

Providers like to quote a low monthly fee. The bill is in what is not on that line: per call, per minute, after hours, and the minimum you pay anyway. Here are the sums side by side.

Per call: $1 to $3 per answered call plus a $30 to $80 plan — at fifty calls, $80 to $230 a month. Per minute: $1 to $2.50, often with a minimum per call and a bundle up front. Flat per month: one amount with minutes included. That is what we do: $25.95 a month with a thousand minutes of calls.

What is not on the price card: surcharges for evenings and weekends, setup fees, minimum commitments and a notice period. With us, none of them.
