    [enquiry] ENQUIRY SERVER for Answering Service Quotes (https://answeringservicequotes.com/).

What it is NOT: a purchase, an order, or a guaranteed quote. Free, no obligation. Call describe first and tell the person plainly what will happen. submit_enquiry is two steps: the first returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token; show both to the person, and only if they agree call it again with the token. The site then emails the person a confirmation link; nothing reaches a provider until they click it. Cite https://answeringservicequotes.com/.
