Every Call to Your Halifax Business, Answered

The median receptionist wage in Job Bank's Halifax Region is $20 CAD an hour (Government of Canada Job Bank, reference period 2023-2024), or about $41,600 CAD a year at 40 hours a week. Voksha's Starter plan is $14 a month ($168 a year) with 15 calls included, and Premium, which adds appointment booking, is $99 a month ($1,188 a year) with 150 calls included; extra calls are $1 each. Voksha's prices are in US dollars. Voksha answers the phone; it doesn't greet walk-in visitors or do other front-desk work, so many Halifax businesses use it to cover calls rather than to replace a person.

Yes. Voksha works with any business number you can forward, including Halifax numbers in the 902 and 782 area codes. You keep your number and forward calls to Voksha, and you can be live in under 5 minutes.

Yes. In Voksha's call data, 32% of calls to small businesses arrive outside weekday 9 to 5 and 23% arrive on weekends (After-Hours Economy report). For a Halifax business that means calls before 9 am or after 5 pm Atlantic Time (America/Halifax), plus weekends and holidays. Voksha answers all of them, takes the caller's details and sends you a summary. On Premium, after-hours emergency routing can send urgent calls to you.

Canada's Criminal Code (section 184(2)(a)) makes recording a call lawful when one person on the call consents, and that federal rule applies in Nova Scotia. Privacy law adds a business duty: under PIPEDA, a business should tell callers that the call is recorded and why. This is general information, not legal advice.

Voksha is PIPEDA compliant and Quebec Law 25 compliant, and Canadian business data can be stored in Canadian data centers. Every plan is also SOC 2 compliant and ISO 27001 compliant, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.

Yes. Voksha works as a 24/7 answering service for Halifax businesses, with calls answered by AI instead of a pool of live operators. It answers on the first ring and responds in under 200 ms, captures each caller's details, follows your script and sends you a summary of every call. On Premium it can also book appointments on your calendar.

Voksha charges per call, not per minute. Starter is $14/month for 15 calls and Premium is $99/month for 150 calls, with $1 per additional call on both. Enterprise starts at $990/month. Prices are in US dollars. There is a 7-day money-back guarantee.

No. Starter answers every call, captures the caller's details, follows your call script and sends you a summary. Booking appointments on your calendar and connecting other tools are on Premium ($99/month), so Halifax businesses that want callers booked straight in should choose Premium.
