An after-hours answering service that costs $0.08 a minute

When the office is closed, a Komms voice agent answers every call, finds out why they called, takes the details your team needs in the morning, and sends real emergencies to your on-call person. You pay for talk time, not seats or a monthly service contract.

Who it is for

For offices whose calls do not stop at 5pm: clinics, law firms, property managers, home services, agencies. A human answering service usually bills per minute plus a monthly minimum; here the only charges are talk time and the phone number.
