Link-based flow
The agent shows you a sign-in link and short code. You open it, sign up or sign in, choose the plan or free credits, and approve in your browser. The code expires in 15 minutes. Set up Grok Bot phone calls.
Agent Phone Plan / Agent Signup
Phone number API for AI agents
The phone number API for AI agents lets an agent start its own signup, with Bland building in a human checkpoint before any number or charge is final. In the link-based flow you approve in a browser; in the headless flow you verify a texted code and the agent pays with a wallet token. Either way the agent connects to Bland's MCP server or REST API.
Then $29.99/month. US + Canada. Fair use applies.
Unlimited talk
Unlimited text
One dedicated number
One concurrent call
Two signup paths, one human checkpoint
Headless flow
For an owner with no account yet, Bland texts you a six-digit code valid for 10 minutes. You relay it, and the agent completes payment with a wallet token. A declined payment falls back to a browser link. See Grok Bot's headless setup.
Start on $2 free credits
At approval you can continue on $2 of free credits instead of the plan, billed at $0.14 per connected minute. That covers about 14 minutes, from a shared number, with no texting. See AI phone number cost.
What the plan costs either way
$14.99 for the first month, 50% off, then $29.99/month, once per account owner, for one dedicated US number with unlimited US and Canada calls and SMS, subject to fair use: one call at a time across your account, inbound and outbound combined, 20 calls an hour, 50 a day, 1,000 call minutes a day, 60 minutes max per outbound call, and 20 texts an hour, 100 a day, to US and Canada numbers only. What the unlimited AI calling and SMS plan includes.

Questions
Can an agent get its own number without me?
Not entirely. The agent can start the process, but either you approve a request in your browser or you relay a texted code back to the agent before a number is issued. How ChatGPT phone calls work.
Who pays for the plan?
On the link-based flow, you approve the charge yourself in the browser and the agent never handles your payment details. On the headless flow, the agent completes payment with its own wallet token after you confirm a texted code. Compare Grok Bot phone calls.
What if I already have a Bland account?
Use the link-based flow. The headless flow is for owners with no existing account and returns an error if one is found. Compare Claude phone calls.
Is there a CLI for this?
Yes. The bland-cli tool's device login command wraps the link-based flow from a terminal, displaying the link and code, polling for you, and storing the resulting key. Compare Meta Muse phone calls.
What should I check before approving?
Before approving, check the selected plan and price. After setup, confirm the returned organization and number before the agent calls or texts; free credits provide no dedicated number or texting. Set up an AI phone number to text.
Can the agent take calls once set up?
Yes, on the Agent Phone Plan the same number takes inbound calls, with one active call at a time across the account. See inbound calls for your AI.
