Before you start
- Only the workspace owner can do this. Everyone else sees a message saying the subscription is managed by the owner. See Who can do what.
- If you are cancelling, decide what happens to your phone numbers first, because that is the part that is hard to undo.
- If you are moving down, check your new plan still covers your agents and your minutes. See Plans and what they include.
Moving up a plan
1
Open your billing settings
Go to billing in your workspace settings.
2
Choose the plan you want
Pick the plan and confirm. Your new allowances and features are available immediately, so an agent
blocked by a limit starts working again straight away.
Moving down a plan
Check three things before you do, because a smaller plan can stop things working:- Agents. Free allows one and Starter three. If you have more than the new plan allows, the extras need deleting.
- Minutes. A smaller allowance runs out sooner, and with extra usage off your agent stops taking calls when it does.
- Features. Email needs Pro or above, and after call automations need Growth. Moving below them turns those off.
Cancelling
1
Decide about your phone numbers
Numbers are the part you cannot get back. If a number is on your website, your van, or your Google
listing, work out where those calls should go before you cancel.
2
Download anything you want to keep
Recordings, transcripts, and reports are in your call history. Download the ones that matter to you.
3
Cancel in your billing settings
Cancel the plan. The repeating charge stops and you keep access for the period you have already paid
for.
What happens to your things
Coming back later is straightforward: subscribe again and your agents are as you left them. The number is
the exception, so if you are pausing rather than leaving, keeping one number is usually worth the monthly
cost.
FAQ
Will I be charged after I cancel?
Will I be charged after I cancel?
No. Cancelling stops the repeating charge, and you keep access for the period you have already paid for.
Usage inside that period is still billable, so extra minutes you use before the end appear on your final
invoice.
Do I get a refund for the rest of the month?
Do I get a refund for the rest of the month?
You keep the service for the period you paid for rather than getting money back, so cancelling on day
three of a month means you keep it for that month. Cancel near the end of a period if you want to stop
cleanly.
What happens to my phone numbers when I cancel?
What happens to my phone numbers when I cancel?
They stop renewing. This is the part to plan for, because a released number cannot be recovered and may
be taken by someone else. If your number is on your website or your vehicles, decide where those calls
go first.
What happens to my recordings and transcripts?
What happens to my recordings and transcripts?
They stay in your call history, subject to the normal retention period. Download anything you specifically
want to keep before you cancel rather than after.
Can I come back later with the same setup?
Can I come back later with the same setup?
Yes. Your agents, their instructions, and their knowledge are kept, so subscribing again puts you back
where you were. Only released phone numbers cannot be recovered.
What happens to my agents if I downgrade?
What happens to my agents if I downgrade?
Agents beyond your new plan’s limit have to be deleted, since Free allows one and Starter three.
Features above your new plan, such as email, stop working. Check both before moving down.
Why can I not cancel from my account?
Why can I not cancel from my account?
Only the workspace owner can manage the subscription, and that is whoever created the workspace. Ask
them, or the person named on the invoices. See Who can do what.
Can I pause instead of cancelling?
Can I pause instead of cancelling?
There is no pause option, so the nearest equivalent is moving down to the smallest plan that keeps your
number, then moving back up when you need it. That keeps the number your customers know, which is the
thing worth protecting.
