Somebody asked me a great follow-up question about the phone numbers I mentioned:

"Is there a setup fee and a monthly fee for the phone service?"

I'd rather over-explain this than have you find a surprise on a bill later, so here's the complete picture.

No setup fee. None. Getting your first 5 phone numbers costs nothing.

After that, additional numbers run about $2/month each — and like I mentioned before, you can simply pass that along to your client instead of eating it yourself.

There's one more honest piece worth mentioning: actual call minutes carry a small usage fee.

When your AI Receptionist is on the phone with a caller, that time is billed at a few cents a minute, with a solid chunk of free minutes included every month before that even kicks in...

For a normal local business — a handful of calls a day, most just a couple minutes long — that usage fee lands in the range of a few dollars a month. ...It barely dents the $299 you're collecting.

That's it. No hidden platform fees. No surprise invoice.

Just phone numbers and the minutes people actually talk.
