CallFire IVR
What it is
CallFire IVR provides inbound and outbound interactive voice response for tasks such as appointment reminders, payments, surveys, political polling, and emergency information hotlines. An auto-attendant can direct incoming callers to a suitable line or answering service. Users can create call flows with a drag-and-drop designer or XML editor, then record calls and responses, track results, export data, and analyze metrics. The service supports touch-tone input but not voice recognition. CallFire says users can configure unlimited extensions that route to forwarding numbers, and its IVR guide lists Zapier integrations. Developers can assist with custom applications using CallFire APIs. It is available on the web and through an API. There is no free plan. Pay as you go has no monthly fee, with optional monthly rentals, $10 phone numbers, and $25 keywords. Monthly plans include Lite at $99 a month, Startup at $199 a month, Grow at $299 a month, and Pro at $599 a month. Calls and texts stop when credits reach zero, and monthly allowances expire at the end of each cycle.
