Do commercial bid inquiry calls count the same as residential service calls for billing purposes?

Avi NashVP of Growth

Yes, every call Voksha answers and handles counts toward your plan's included call volume the same way, regardless of whether it is a homeowner asking about a flickering light or a general contractor calling about a $150,000 commercial tenant buildout. This matters for electrical contractors because commercial bid calls, while less frequent than residential service calls, are exactly the calls you cannot afford to lose to a busy signal or a full voicemail box. A shop that does a mix of residential service and commercial bid work should size its plan around total monthly call volume rather than trying to separate the two, since Voksha handles both call types within the same answered-call count. If you are on Starter and burning through your 15 included calls quickly because your office phone also fields subcontractor coordination calls, supplier calls, and permit status check-ins alongside customer inquiries, that is a sign to move to Premium's 150-call allotment, where the effective per-call cost drops well below the $1 Starter overage rate. Enterprise, starting at $990 a month with a custom call volume, fits electrical contractors doing sustained commercial work with dozens of calls a day across multiple active job sites, since a fixed high-volume commitment removes overage math from the picture entirely. Given that a single missed commercial bid request can represent a $10,000 to $100,000-plus contract, the practical approach is to size your plan generously rather than risk a bid inquiry going unanswered because you were trying to save $1 in overage.
