*The $750 setup can be spread across your first 12 months at $62.50/month, at no extra cost — the first-year total is identical either way. All figures CAD, before tax. Your rate is locked in writing for the 12-month term; renewals are capped at +10% a year.

Overage: 60¢ a minuteOnly past your plan's included minutes, and your weekly report shows usage as you go. No "unlimited" claims — just the number, printed.
First month, money backIf Answerpost does not answer and book as promised in month one, you pay nothing for the month and the setup balance is waived.
Leaving is simpleAfter the first year, or if you exit early, you owe only the remaining setup balance — your data exports with you and your number ports back.
The research

This is not a hunch.It is measured.

Independent call-tracking studies, run across millions of real business calls, keep landing on the same conclusion: the average business is unreachable for a large share of the people trying to pay it.

Car dealerships
1 in 3

inbound calls never reaches someone who can help, and up to $1.17 million a year per store is lost to missed calls. Phone leads book appointments at nearly double the rate of internet leads — 74% against 40%.

Restaurants
32%

of calls go unanswered during the 5 to 8 PM rush, the window that carries almost half of all phone orders. Six in ten callers who cannot get through never try again; seven in ten simply order somewhere else.

Dental & medical clinics
35%

of calls to the average practice are missed, even though 71% of appointments are still booked by phone. Each new patient who gives up is worth over $10,000 across their years with your practice.

Home services
Only 52%

of calls to home-service businesses are answered by a person at all. The other half ring out while the crew is on a roof, under a sink, or driving to the next job.

Law firms
6 in 10

calls from prospective clients go unanswered at the average firm, while the whole team is in court, in meetings, or at lunch. Legal problems feel urgent: that caller phones the next firm, and one signed case is worth thousands.

Every phone-driven business
Only 38%

of calls to small businesses are answered by a person at all. The rest ring out or land in voicemail, and 85% of those callers never try a second time.

How this is calculated: missed calls per month (calls per day × unanswered share × 30 days) × would-have-booked share × average value. These are your inputs, not our promises. The free missed-call audit replaces the guesses with counts from your own phone logs.
