Included in every plan

The same rules on every plan

These are the terms we publish, not the ones we advertise.

  • AI calls are recorded and announced

    Every call the agent handles is recorded and transcribed, and the caller is told so at the start. Recording on your staff's lines is opt-in, per line.

  • Your data lives in New Zealand

    Primary data is hosted in NZ. The named US processors are ElevenLabs, Anthropic, Sentry, Firebase/APNs, Resend and Inngest.

  • 111 works while the power's on

    You can ring 111 on a H3llo line while the service is up. In a power cut or internet outage it may not work, so keep a charged mobile. Power cuts and 111.

  • Invoiced monthly, in advance

    One invoice a month, excl. GST, for everything on the account. Your plan and term sit in your Order.
