Included in all plans; seat counts can move between plan tiers as your seasonal headcount changes.

Seasonal businesses, tax offices, landscapers, resorts, retailers, pool companies, get punished by telecom contracts that price the peak all year long. fvoip's answer is structural: no contracts, per-user pricing, and seats you add and remove in minutes. Staff up in the weeks before your season, give every temporary hire an extension with the desktop or mobile app, and drop those seats when the season ends. The bill follows your actual headcount month by month instead of your busiest week.

The phone experience scales with the same ease. During peak, calls ring across the expanded team and overflow rolls to voicemail with AI transcripts emailed instantly, so the callback queue is visible and workable. Business-hours routing follows your seasonal calendar, extended summer hours, weekend openings, winter cutbacks, switching greetings and schedules automatically. In the off-season, the main number stays professionally answered by the auto-attendant, routing what matters to a skeleton crew's mobile apps and holding everything else in transcribed messages.

Numbers and infrastructure persist even when staffing does not. Your established local number, ported in free, stays live year-round, so returning customers always reach you. Desk phones can rent month to month, from 8.99 dollars, matching hardware cost to the season as well. Unlimited US and Canada calling on every plan, no setup fees, and no regulatory recovery surcharges keep the cost model as predictable in January as in July, and the 30-day money-back guarantee makes the first season a safe trial.

Frequently asked questions

Can we really drop seats in the off-season?
Yes. There are no contracts, so seats added for the season can be removed when it ends, and billing adjusts to your active user count each month. Adding them back next season takes minutes.
What happens to our number during the off-season?
It stays live and professionally answered. The auto-attendant plays your seasonal hours and routes essential calls to whoever remains, with all messages emailed as AI transcripts.
Do temporary staff need company phones?
No. Seasonal hires can work entirely from the fvoip desktop or mobile app on their own devices, with a company extension and the business number on outbound calls. Desk phones rent monthly if you prefer.
How do we handle the pre-season ramp?
Create the users, update routing, and adjust greetings from a browser before opening week. If you are moving from another provider, porting is free and local numbers transfer in 3 to 10 business days.
