For instance, if you have the Starter plan, you'll be charged $0.06 even if the call is under a minute. A 5-minute call would cost $0.30.

Why does my phone number change between calls?
Why does my phone number change between calls?
You're assigned a number based on the area code of the number you're calling. If a number from that area code isn't available, you'll get one from a nearby area code. Additionally, each number can only make 80 outbound calls a day to avoid being marked as spam. If you go over 80 calls, you'll be assigned a new number.

I am trying to call my phone number to test the dialer but I am getting an error message. Why is that?
If you are trying to call the same phone number as your callback number in your dialer settings, the system won't be able to connect the call. This is because the call will be forwarded to your callback number, resulting in an error message. We recommend changing your callback number to a different one before trying again.

Why am I not being assigned a call tracking number from the area code I requested?

If the response is vague, it will default to a Warm Lead.
