How billing works

Every Hybrid SIP trunk attracts a $5.00 monthly Hybrid fee, no matter which SIP Trunk plan you use. Call minutes and other plan charges still follow your assigned SIP Trunk plan rate card.

Scenario What you pay
1 Hybrid trunk (any plan) $5.00 Hybrid + plan rates
3 Hybrid trunks $15.00 Hybrid + plan rates
Unhinged + Hybrid trunk $25.00/month ($20 Unhinged + $5 Hybrid)
Standard SIP trunk (compare) 50¢ connection + plan rates
Delete Hybrid trunk mid-cycle No refund - no pro-rata credit

Plan rates are separate. Review capacity and call rates on Manage Plans.

Recording & AI

Call recording itself is free. Storage starts when a recorded call is saved. AI features are optional and only bill when enabled and used. Recording storage remains $1.00 per GB per month and is billed separately from AI.

  • Storage charged pro-rata by day while files remain
  • Retention: keep forever, or auto-delete after N days
  • Transcription bills per minute of audio transcribed
  • Call Insights bill input + output tokens for enabled features
  • Turning a feature off stops new usage; existing files stay until deleted

Tip: Check storage and AI estimates anytime in Recording Management and AI & Transcription.
