Most answering services bill by the minute or charge $7–$10 per call, so your bill balloons exactly when calls spike. Callvix keeps it flat: $2.99 per inbound call, no matter how long or complex — on a simple monthly base. No long-term contract.
Your bill is simple: a fixed monthly subscription, plus a flat per-call fee for the calls we actually answer. No per-minute meter, and no surprises when your call volume climbs in busy season.
Flat per call, not per minute — a long, tricky call costs the same $2.99 as a quick one. Base + add-ons billed monthly in advance; call usage billed weekly.
Live call answering and booking during your standard business hours, run entirely under your company name and rules. Inbound and outbound calls are then billed simply per call, on top.
