Can your AI agent answer its own phone?

Bland’s Agent Phone Plan provides one dedicated U.S. number for an AI assistant to make and receive calls and send or automatically reply to texts, using conversation-specific objectives or a general texting prompt. The plan permits only one active call per account at a time across both inbound and outbound activity, so additional callers receive a busy message, and all call minutes share a 1,000-minute daily limit that resets at midnight UTC. The post, published by Bland and citing competitor pricing checked in October 2026, contrasts the service with ClawCall, which reserves inbound answering for its $14.99 top tier, and AgentLine, which includes inbound calling across plans and offers up to 12 numbers on its $200 monthly Startup tier. It also notes that users are responsible for obtaining consent and complying with applicable calling, texting, and recording laws.
