How it's billed

Two parts:

  • Monthly subscription (voip_basic or voip_pro perk) — base features
  • Per-number rental — usually $1–$3/mo per number depending on area code
  • Per-minute / per-message usage — passed through from the carrier at our cost + small margin

Usage shows live at /tools/business-phoneUsage.

What it isn't

  • Not a landline replacement — it's VoIP. Needs internet to make calls. Power-out resilience is whatever your internet has.
  • Not 911-ready by default — emergency-services dialing requires E911 setup with a registered address. Set it up at first number purchase, please. Required by US law.
