Hosted on central servers and delivered by long-distance telephone, services are priced between $.10 and $.25 for voice messages between 30 to 60 seconds in length, depending upon volume. Other rates for fax, SMS and email messages apply. This is competitive with other service providers who do not offer their services on an ASP basis and lack many of the sophisticated features we offer.  Direct competitors for voice-over-phone messaging service are VerbX, Plum and Tellme.  Indirect competitors include auto-dialers, mass-mailers, and surface mail.   Displacement of call-centers, live callers and mass e-mails are our objective.
