Callverted vs. voicemail
Voicemail is where emergency calls go to die. A homeowner with a flooding basement or a dead furnace isn't going to leave a message and wait. They'll hang up and dial the next company. Here's how live answering compares to a beep and a callback.

Common questions
Isn't voicemail free?
The recording is free; the missed jobs aren't. One recovered emergency call typically covers Callverted for the month several times over.
Can I still keep a voicemail box?
Yes. Callverted only handles calls your team doesn't answer. Anything it can't complete still lands somewhere you control.
