What is the ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST voice broadcast system?

13 years ago

The absolute cheapest, will be the one you have built. Take it from me, I know the companies you're referencing. 80% of my business is the automated call business. It doesn't get any better than Callfire. The key is to juice ever bit of value you can out of Callfire.

Get your own stuff built by a developer on Twilio. Twilio charges 1cent per call. But you will own it forever. I'd definitely invest in that if I were you. You can hire overseas for $1k to be able to make calls for life at 1cent per minute. Stay away from that other garbage. I am aware of his one man charade. My clients pay me good money because his product was crap. It looked like something out of the Geocities era.

Bee,

I am with you 100% but for now I just need a quick fix and I have used call fire before. They are way too expensive for the amount of numbers I will be broadcasting. Can you list the CHEAPER sites you have used with success before? Thanks

I use Mark Heltons voice prospector, but I'm not sure if he has it for sale anymore. You buy access to the dialer and then just purchase calling time.

It's the cheapest you'll ever find, at 2 cents per minute billed in 6 second increments. You get access to over a hundred lines so you can call through your list extremely fast.

Twilio is 2 cents per minute but it's billed in sixty second increments.

Use the open source open vbx system on top of twilio

cost effective and fairly flexible. Then build a custom software in time over twilio.

Ok last year I had tried call fire, their rate is 3.5 cents a minute. Given they don't have a minimum order size so it was the preferred option for me, but I'm doing like 25,000 calls now on my bigger broadcasts and it came out to be $540 for 25,000 calls with them. Since last year I changed to message communications (messagecommuniations.com) and i'm paying their "wholesale" rate at 7/10ths of a penny per minute! You need to actually call and ask them for that rate or they won't give it to you. So 25,000 calls costs me about $175. That's cheaper than doing it myself with the acardia software and a voice modem. Hands down the CHEAPEST choice since that's what you're looking for.

  By the way, Dialtel.com is also .02 a minute with 6 second increments.
  
  The second increment is CRUCIAL to affordability, because a low rate doesn't mean squat if they automatically charge you by the minute in full minute increments.

I too have been looking for a cheap voice broadcaster. I did some admittedly quick research of the products/URLs listed here and, IMO, the last one mentioned, Dialtel.com is cheapest. Messagecommuniations.com indeed offers a now-quoted rate at 7/10ths of a penny per minute, but there's a minimum order of near $600. This pricing plan may have been implemented after the post mentioning it above. To me Callfire comes in second due to a low rate and no required minimums.

Thanks

  I believe Message has a re seller program that allows you to manage multiple campaigns. A couple of you enterprising guys could get together and share that $600 minimum.
  
  Thanks

I've done some voice broadcasting using OpenVBX and it worked quite well. Twilio is very cheap and it didn't take long to create the system using OpenVBX.

The key is to set up two different flows, an outgoing and incoming flow. I set it up so if the receiver picked up the phone, the message said something like "you have received a voicemail message, press 1 to listen, press 2 to end the call". If they ended the call by pressing 2, the automatically were removed from the list. So this made it seem to those that picked up that is wasn't a "robocall" per se. For answering machines, I had an mp3 file simply play the message like I was leaving the message "live" so they couldn't tell either way.

As I remember, I tested this by calling about 150 realtors in my area and it only cost me about 2-3 bucks when all was said and done. Even though it works great, I'm still a little hesitant about using voice broadcasts because generally people hate them. But the voice mail thing eliminated some of that if they answered.

Thanks

Build an asterisk system for free. Buy an unlimited sip trunk. Figure it all out. Assuiyiu have an old PC lying around and you know what you're doing you could be all in for under a hundred. The key is knowing what you're doing

Edit -sorry didn't realize this an ancient thread

Thanks
