call4me pricing
calls cost $0.25 a minute from pickup, and half that on hold. there is no subscription and no per-seat fee: you load prepaid credits, from $10.00, and each call is paid from them. unanswered, busy and failed calls are free, and so is your US number.
what a call costs
| part of the call | price |
|---|---|
| talking, and phone menus, from pickup by a person or automated system | $0.25/min |
| whole minutes on hold | half price |
| unanswered, busy and failed calls | free |
time is rounded up to the minute. each call reserves its maximum cost before it dials and returns the unused credit when it ends. ask your agent to set a maximum call length to cap the cost. a call still on hold when it reaches its time limit keeps waiting instead of hanging up, as long as your credits cover it.
what real calls cost
- a dinner reservation: Rick's table for two at Farmer's Grain took 56 billed seconds and cost 25 cents.
- a hospital billing call where an AI assistant answered first: HCA Florida Northside, 5 minutes 53 seconds, cost $1.25 on October 26, 2026.
- a hospital billing call with about 5 minutes on hold: Cleveland Clinic, 12 minutes 26 seconds, cost $2.75 the same day.
how long companies keep you waiting is on customer service hold times by company.
credits
- load $10.00 to $500.00 at a time. credits don't expire.
- what you load reloads every month by default. untick it before paying, or stop it anytime in my account; credits already loaded stay.
- students get $50 in free credits, approved by hand: see call4me for students.
phone numbers
- every account gets a free US number, and the agent answers callbacks to it.
- you can also verify your own number as caller ID; callbacks then go directly to your phone.
- extra numbers cost exactly what our phone carrier charges us, no markup: the upfront cost plus the first month when you buy one, then the monthly cost every 30 days from your credits. your account page shows each country's price.
