How usage is billed
Team and Business include a shared pool of call minutes (Team 200 and Business 1,000 a month). Starter is pay as you go. Calls past the pool cost 1.2¢ a minute, and texts cost 1.5¢ per text. "Unlimited" plans elsewhere sit under fair use policies.
Switching from Aircall
You can start on new Ringlite numbers the day you are approved, keep Aircall running while you do, and port your existing numbers on Team and Business, which usually takes one to two weeks.
