Amernet or Dialzara: which fits?

Choose Amernet if

Your callers speak more than English and Spanish, you want to start on a free plan, you want it running as an extension on your existing phone system, or you also want a business phone system from the same provider.

Choose Dialzara if

You get very few calls — well under 60 minutes a month — and the $29 Business Lite plan covers you with room to spare.

Not sure? Ring both

Set each one up with the same hours and services, then call them with the same five questions — a booking, a price, a day you are closed. The difference is usually obvious in one call.
