Do I need a new phone number?↓
Yes — we buy a new number for the agent to run on, and we register it in your name. You own it outright, exactly like any other business line, and it stays yours if you ever leave. It's $4 a month, listed with the usage rates above.
Why is the setup fee custom?↓
Because build size varies more than anything else. One agent answering FAQs and booking into a calendar is a fortnight. Three agents, a CRM sync, a retry ladder and a reporting layer is not. We scope it, quote it, and the number doesn't move after that.
What's the usage cost actually going to be?↓
It depends entirely on your call volume, which is why it's billed as a variable on top rather than baked into the retainer. Take your monthly connected minutes, multiply by the rate above, and that's it — no markup games, no minimum spend.
Am I billed for calls that don't connect?↓
No. No answer and busy lines are free. You're only charged for conversations that actually happen, and voicemail drops are a flat rate per call rather than per minute.
How long until it's live?↓
Two weeks is typical for a first agent. Bigger builds with several integrations run three to four.
