Summary

AI agents such as ChatGPT or Claude can receive phone calls through dedicated-number plans, but inbound calling availability, pricing, capacity, and setup requirements vary among providers. Bland’s Agent Phone Plan costs $9.99 for the first month and $19.99 thereafter, includes one US local number with texting and inbound calling, allows up to 1,000 combined inbound and outbound minutes daily, and supports only one simultaneous call; users must configure the number’s instructions or attach a saved voice agent before sharing it. Its free trial supports outbound calls only from a shared number. ClawCall offers outbound calling on lower-priced shared or reserved-number tiers, while inbound AI answering is limited to its $18.99-per-month Unlimited Reserve Plus plan. AgentLine supports inbound and outbound calls across all hosted plans, with options ranging from one to 12 numbers and included monthly minute allowances, plus overage charges. The comparison emphasizes that Bland may suit users needing one configured number with texting and high daily usage limits, AgentLine may be preferable for multiple numbers, and ClawCall may be useful for agents that initially only need outbound calling.
