Why users choose Bland

01

You pay one price, whatever the month looks like

Calls and texts to US and Canadian numbers are covered by the $29.99 plan, within fair use, so a busy week of errands doesn't change the monthly bill.

02

It's made for AI tools you already use

The Agent Phone Plan plugs into ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Meta Muse, Grok Bot, OpenClaw and Poke, so there is no agent to build before placing your first call. Ask your agent to set itself up.

03

The owner approves the charge

An agent can start its own signup, but the subscription only begins when its owner approves it in a browser.

Questions about the Agent Phone Plan and AgentPhone

It depends on how much your agent talks. AgentPhone charges $3 a month for the number. Calls are $0.13 a minute with your own agent, or $0.22 a minute if AgentPhone hosts it. Texts are $0.02 each plus carrier surcharges. At the hosted rate, the number plus about 123 minutes of calls a month comes to the same $29.99 as the Agent Phone Plan. Below that, AgentPhone is cheaper. Above it, or with heavy texting, the Agent Phone Plan is cheaper. Prices checked 28 October 2026.

ChatGPT, Claude and Codex connect to the Agent Phone Plan through Bland's MCP server, and so do OpenClaw and Poke. Meta Muse uses Bland's REST API, and Bland also documents setup for Grok Bot. AgentPhone publishes an MCP server, a REST API and SDKs for developers wiring up their own agent. Bland is not partnered with or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta or xAI.

The Agent Phone Plan includes one dedicated US local number and allows one call at a time. If you need more numbers or more calls at once, cancel the plan and move to Bland's Build or Scale tier. AgentPhone sells US and Canada numbers at $3 a month each.

The Agent Phone Plan calls and texts US and Canada numbers only. AgentPhone prices international SMS by country on its rate card.
