Pick a plan — Receptionist ($149/mo), Dispatch ($229/mo), Dispatch+ ($299/mo). All plans include a 24/7 AI receptionist on your own number; Dispatch tiers add emergency escalation chains that ring your on-call list until a human answers. 2. Choose a local or toll-free number, and give us the fallback number calls should reach if the AI ever can't. 3. Shape your agent from an industry template (HVAC, plumbing, restoration, electrical, cleaning), invite your team, and check out. Your line answers from that moment on. ## Common questions ### How fast is a new line live? Most lines are live the same afternoon. Signup takes a few minutes: pick a plan, choose a local or toll-free number (or let us assign one), shape your agent from an industry template, and calls are answered as soon as checkout completes. ### What does the free trial include? 7 days with 100 AI minutes included. A card is required. If you hit the minute cap, your line simply forwards to your fallback number until you upgrade — no surprise bills. ### Do I have to give up my existing number? No. You get a new number at signup and can forward your existing line to it from day one. Porting your existing number in is also supported — our team handles the carrier paperwork and the dashboard tracks its status. ### What happens if the AI can't take a call? Every line requires a fallback phone number at signup; if the AI can't answer for any reason, calls forward straight there. The Dispatch+ plan adds carrier-level failover on top, so forwarding works even if the whole AI stack is down. ### Is there a contract? No. Plans start at $149/mo, are month to month, and cancel anytime. Annual billing gets you 12 months for the price of 10, and your number is yours to port out whenever you like.
