Intercom Phone is priced based on usage - for inbound calls (minutes), outbound calls (minutes), Messenger calls (minutes), recordings (minutes) and phone number provisioning (monthly charge). You can see all countries we support and their associated prices here.

Phone number prices depend on the region and type of the phone number (local, toll free or mobile). For example, local and Toll Free US numbers have different prices.

You can see all countries we support and their associated prices here.

Phone number prices will be billed every month the phone number is active. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes.

Phone call minute prices vary based on the call direction (inbound, outbound), region and phone number type (local, toll free or mobile).

You can see all countries we support and their associated prices here.

Billing will be rounded off to the next minute. For example, if a call lasts 2min 35sec it will be billed for 3 minutes. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes.

Phone call minutes are calculated from the start of the call until the call has ended. This includes the time customers calling your business spend in the IVR, wait queues and on-hold.

You can see a breakdown of your individual call usage and costs from Settings > Billing > Subscription in your workspace.
​

In Intercom Phone call details, “Terminated by” indicates which party caused the call to hang up/end (e.g., the customer, the teammate/agent, or the system/IVR flow).

No, charges are not applied while a customer is waiting for a callback. Charges only begin when both parties are connected and the call is active. They stop immediately once either party ends the call.

Yes! You can trial Intercom Phone free for 14 days. You can use up to $10 during this time period. Once this is reached, access to Phone features and functionality will be seized, unless the account converts to a paid account.

If you continue to use Intercom Phone after your trial period ends, you will be billed for your usage at the rates listed here.

If you do not wish to continue using Intercom Phone, make sure to delete all phone numbers from your workspace.

The trial number can't be reused or added back to the account after the trial has ended.

To view the usage for your current billing period, go to Settings > Subscription > Usage. You can set usage alerts and view your phone usage in this section 👇

Phone Usage is enabled automatically for workspaces with active phone subscriptions — you do not have to manually activate it.

Intercom Phone is currently only available to customers on our new pricing plans who joined Intercom since November 15, 2023.
​
Customers on our legacy pricing plans who were not on the early beta will not have access to Phone, but you can indicate your interest via a banner on the settings page.

No. You can only provision (purchase or port) phone numbers for inbound calls from the list of countries that Intercom Phone currently supports.

If Intercom Phone does not support number provisioning in a specific country where you wish to receive inbound calls, you would need to look at purchasing or porting a number in a country that we do support. You would also need to be aware of and meet any regulatory requirements in that supported country.

Phone numbers can be provisioned for the following countries:

US and Canadian toll-free numbers are not free for all customers to call internationally. These numbers, provided by Intercom Phone through our partner Twilio, are only free for callers located within specific regions.

Toll-free calling is supported from:

For anyone calling your number from a country outside of this supported list (for example, Trinidad and Tobago), the call will not be toll-free. The caller may experience one of two outcomes:

You can connect with your customers globally using both call types, with some restrictions for certain customers:

If you need to call a restricted destination for legitimate business purposes, please contact Intercom Support to discuss your use case.

Yes! Phone is now available on EU and AU workspaces. You can turn this on for your workspace from Settings.

No, there’s no way to change the phone number we provide at this time.

Intercom Phone supports multiple phone numbers per workspace. You can have as many numbers as you need.

Mobile SDKs are not supported for Messenger calls at this time.

If you remove a phone number from your Intercom workspace, for example when porting a number to another provider, your historical phone data is preserved and remains accessible.

What's preserved in your workspace Even after the number is removed, you will keep access to all historical data associated with it, including:

What changes in your workspace Removing the phone number means it can no longer be used for active calling in Intercom. Specifically:

Yes, you can send SMS from the same number as your Intercom Phone, but there are some limitations:

Reach out through the Messenger if you'd like to learn more about this.

No, we don’t support US mobile numbers for either porting or purchasing.

At the moment, it is only possible to determine this through the use of separate Team Inboxes for each of your supported languages. You can assign teammates who speak those languages to those team inboxes and in your inbound phone workflow, route the customer to the relevant team inbox based on the IVR option they select for language.

If you’re experiencing poor call quality, dropped audio, or issues with your microphone or speakers, try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Check your network connection

2. Optimize system performance

3. Verify audio devices and settings

4. Check for browser conflicts

5. Review phone and carrier settings

Messenger calls use a messenger app, so if your workspace has not used Messenger apps and your website that hosts the Intercom Messenger sends CSP headers, you will need to add intercom-sheets.com to frame-src directive of the CSP header.

Instructions on how to fix it here.

To resolve this issue, check the Routing setting in your phone number settings. If calls are not following the workflow, ensure that the Routing setting is set to 'Configure with a workflow' instead of being assigned to a different routing option. Once you select 'Configure with a workflow', your workflow settings will become active and control the call routing.

To register your phone number, you can visit www.freecallerregistry.com and https://portal.firstorion.com (for T-Mobile) and fill out the forms regarding your company and phone number. Registering your number with analytics providers such as First Orion, Hiya, and Transaction Network Services is crucial, as carriers use these providers to determine your phone number's reputation score. This registration should be sufficient to maintain your number's reputation without needing to get a new number or appeal to the carrier.

If a teammate loses their internet connection while on an active Intercom Phone call, the call will remain active for 1–2 minutes while the system attempts to reconnect. If the connection is not restored within this time, the call will automatically end. This brief delay is designed to allow for temporary network interruptions without immediately disconnecting the call. If the teammate closes their browser window or tab, the call will end immediately.

This is a label applied by carriers and isn't directly adjusted through Intercom or even our partner Twilio. In order to resolve this, we suggest registering your number with the following services:

• https://reportarobocall.com/trf/

• https://voicespamfeedback.com/vsf/

• https://hiyahelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

• http://www.freecallerregistry.com/

Intercom does not currently support securely storing or passing credit card information via Phone conversations. As a workaround, teammates can use the stop/start recording feature to prevent credit card details from being recorded. However, teammates will still hear the credit card information on the call, and it is their responsibility to handle this data appropriately.

Intercom places restrictions on these due to their classification as high-risk numbers by Twilio.

If this is a big blocker for you, please reach out to our support with your use case.

Historical reports do not include live calls, only calls that have ended. Phone metrics in historical reports also do not have the ability to drill down into specific conversations at this time.

Yes, Intercom Phone accepts inbound calls from customers even if their caller ID is hidden, private, or anonymous.

When an anonymous call is received:

However, the Request a callback feature in Workflows will not work for anonymous callers. Since Intercom does not have the customer's phone number, a callback cannot be executed.

If opted into Intercom Phone, all teammates in your workspace can make a call. There are no specific permissions.
​
There are no permissions available to prevent teammates from deleting recordings and transcripts.

We don’t support phone number masking at this time.

'Wrap up time' is a teammate status after a call, but is currently not a call state in reporting.

As a workaround, here’s what we recommend you do:

No. Intercom does not currently retain or expose the original number dialed by a customer for inbound calls. While API endpoints provide general call data (such as the caller's phone number or call ID), the specific destination number the user originally called is not available. This includes cases where a call was transferred from another team or routed through an IVR.
