Esmi Local / Starter is $299/mo + $499 setup. Month-to-month available. Annual billing: two months free and setup waived. Setup covers number, Google Calendar, knowledge base, and go-live onboarding. Pilot is $149 for 14 days including setup, credited to your first invoice if you continue. English and Spanish are included on every plan — not an add-on. Minutes are voice minutes and do not roll over. Taxes extra where applicable.

Questions
Do I need technical staff to set this up?
No. Setup is white-glove — Orchelix configures your number, agent, knowledge base, and calendar for you. You review it before it goes live; you don't build anything.
Does Esmi book real appointments, or just take messages?
Real appointments. Esmi reads your live Google Calendar availability and books, reschedules, or cancels directly on it, then confirms by SMS — no Calendly, Acuity, or Microsoft 365 as live booking today, and no message left for someone to call back and enter by hand.
Is Local / Starter only for after-hours?
It is built for after-hours on one line — nights, weekends, holidays, and the calls your front desk cannot take. During open hours it can sit behind your receptionist or answer the line outright. Same number, same Google Calendar, same dashboard. A 14-day pilot is $149.
What happens when Esmi can't handle something?
It escalates to a human — by call transfer or notification, depending on your setup — with the context of the conversation so far, so nobody has to repeat themselves.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Each plan includes new local number(s) provisioned for Esmi. Forwarding your existing number to it, or porting it over, is usually possible — tell us your setup and we'll confirm during onboarding.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan is month-to-month, cancel anytime — plus a one-time setup fee covering your number, calendar, knowledge base, and go-live onboarding. Pay annually instead and get two months free, with the setup fee waived entirely.
What happens if I go over my included minutes?
You're billed the plan's per-minute overage rate for the extra minutes. Esmi never stops answering calls because you've hit a limit — overage is a line on the invoice, not a service interruption.
