Understanding LimePhone number pricing: A Comprehensive Overview

Navigate the complexities of LimePhone number pricing with our breakdown of the various phone number types, their functionalities, and how the pricing integrates with your LimePhone subscription. This comprehensive overview aims to shed light on the intricate details of obtaining and overseeing phone numbers on LimePhone.

Varieties of Phone Numbers: In any country, you'll generally find four main categories of phone numbers:

1. Local Phone Number (Voice & SMS or Voice-exclusive)
2. Mobile Number (SMS-exclusive or Voice & SMS)
3. National Number
4. Toll-Free Number

Determinants of Pricing: The cost of phone numbers is influenced by several elements:

• Type of phone number
• Geographic location
• Accessibility via the LimePhone dashboard or through manual acquisition

Illustrative Examples: 

For a clearer perspective, consider these examples:

In countries like the US, UK, and Canada, both local and toll-free numbers are readily available via the LimePhone dashboard.

For Australia, while a voice-only local number can be obtained through the dashboard, a mobile number with Voice & SMS functionalities necessitates manual procurement.

Phone Number Rates & The Complimentary Local Number Rule: 

Let's delve into LimePhone's phone number pricing mechanics. Every LimePhone Pricing Plan grants you one Local Phone Number (obtainable via your LimePhone dashboard) per user at no additional charge. Thus, a team of 10 on the Teams Plan can integrate up to 10 local numbers without extra fees.

Once surpassing the complimentary local phone number allocation, the additional phone number's cost gets appended to your subscription.

Most LimePhone local numbers are priced between $1.99 to $4.99 monthly, though certain regions might have elevated rates (e.g.India, SMS-enabled numbers for Singapore, Australian Toll-Free numbers, etc.).

Clarification Points:

• Local phone numbers unattainable through the LimePhone dashboard or other non-local numbers (like mobile, toll-free, and national numbers) aren't included in the "1 local phone number per user" provision. Such numbers incur additional charges.

• 
  

• Numbers accessible via LimePhone's dashboard fall under the complimentary local phone number allowance. Exceeding this limit results in extra charges.

These charges are recurrent and reflect on your subscription invoice.

Billing Procedure for New Phone Numbers: 

Upon adding a phone number beyond your free quota or a specialized number (ones you manually acquire), the associated costs don't get immediate billing. Instead, they're incorporated into your subsequent invoice.

To illustrate, if you're billed on the 1st of every month and introduce a new Australian Mobile Number on July 18th, your August 1st bill would comprise:

Your Subscription Plan Cost + Costs of all new numbers acquired between July 1st to August 1st.
