Question 1

What happens if I exceed the number of calls or texts within a plan?

Accepted Answer

You will be billed for the additional calls at a standard price of $0.50/call. For example, let's say you have subscribed to a Silver plan that includes 100 calls for each billing period. For a given billing period, if Tradie Pal agents answer 125 calls, the additional 25 calls will be billed at $0.50/call and a total of $12.50 will be added to your monthly bill. The same applies to SMS conversations.

Question 2

Can I keep my mobile number as the main number and still use Tradie Pal agents to answer calls?

Accepted Answer

As part of your Tradie Pal subscription you are assigned a unique phone number. This is the number that your Tradie Pal receptionist will answer 24/7. However, if you mobile number is important and you want to keep that as your main business number, you can do that. You will have to setup conditional call forwarding on your mobile phone. Conditional call forwarding allows customers to call your existing mobile number and if you are not able to answer the call, it will forward the call to your Tradie Pal receptionist. To setup conditional call forwarding, you can follow the instructions listed here, or watch this how-to video. Our team will also be happy to help you setup call forwarding.
