Advertised entry prices for the provider's own live answering product, quoted from its pricing page on the date shown. A provider that publishes nothing is listed with that fact rather than an estimate, and a provider whose page could not be read is listed separately again, because not knowing is not the same as there being nothing. Call volume, after-hours cover and script complexity all change the bill.
