Of course! With our flexible plans, we're able to accommodate many different action plans when receive calls, including directly patching the caller to you when you're available. Please note that there is an extra fee for call patching, which can be found on our rates & plans page.

The only fees you will have to pay are your monthly plan fee, which you can choose when you sign up, and the fee to transmit messages to you, whether it is a live patch or a message delivered by e-mail, fax, or another means. These fees are outlined on our rates & plans page. We have no other hidden fees. That means NO setup fees, NO holiday fees, and NO maintenance fees.
