How do I give my AI agent its own phone number?
Blog post from Bland
Bland’s Agent Phone Plan provides an AI assistant with one dedicated US local number for outbound calls, inbound calls, and texting, allowing businesses and contacts to return calls or messages without using the user’s personal number. Users can connect assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT through Bland connectors, approve signup themselves, and receive call summaries, while a free trial offers outbound-only calling from a shared number without texting or inbound capability. The plan is intended for lower-volume use, limiting accounts to one simultaneous call, 20 calls per hour, and 50 per day; higher-volume needs require Bland’s Build or enterprise offerings. Before using the service, users should define what the AI may negotiate or commit to, ensure calls are limited to US and Canadian numbers, verify their AI platform supports write-enabled connectors, and understand payment and signup requirements. Pricing is $9.99 for the first month per account owner and $19.99 monthly thereafter, and agents should identify themselves as AI assistants because businesses may refuse to interact with automated callers.
