Where CoveredLine fits in
A focused phone receptionist, not a suite to configure.
Booking, transfer and languages on every plan.
Calendar booking, live transfer to a person, multilingual answering and caller texting start at $29 / mo. Higher plans add recording, reports and the transfer waterfall.
Your real calendar.
Books into Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Cal.com or any calendar that speaks CalDAV, and offers only open slots.
One job, done well.
Answer the call, book the slot, text the caller, route the emergency, switch languages.
Private by default.
Recording off until you turn it on, with a notice on every recorded call. Texts only about the caller’s own call. Each business’s data isolated.
Billing you can trust.
No contract. Cancel, change plans or update your card yourself, any time. Minutes round once for the month, not per call, with an alert before overage starts and an optional spend cap.
Spam does not cost you.
A call we block or screen as suspected spam never uses your minutes or counts against your plan, on every tier.
