What does it mean to have your AI get quotes by phone?
Quick answer
It means your AI makes the quote calls for you. It phones a few service businesses, describes your job, asks for a price or estimate range and availability, and texts you a side-by-side summary.
You don't dial, wait on hold, or repeat the same details 5 times. You read 1 text and decide.
Who it's for
Anyone who needs a few prices for an everyday job: fixing a leaky faucet, moving apartments, a car repair, a deep clean, or a small remodel.
It's for your own errands: let your AI get quotes by phone while you get on with your day.
What it isn't
It isn't a way to hire or pay. Your AI collects information; you choose and handle payment yourself.
It isn't for businesses calling customers. It's you, through your AI, asking businesses for prices.
How to get quotes by phone with your AI in 3 steps
Step 1: subscribe to the Agent Phone Plan
Subscribe to the Agent Phone Plan: $14.99 for the first month, then $29.99/month. Your card is charged when you approve. Your AI gets its own dedicated US local phone number to make and receive calls and send and receive texts.
Step 2: connect the AI you already use
Connect the plan to your AI app. ChatGPT adds Bland's MCP URL as a connector with Bland sign-in; Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI use Bland's MCP server; Grok Bot and Meta Muse have their own setup routes. Keep tool-approval prompts on, so your AI asks before it places a call or sends a text.
Step 3: run a safe test call to your own phone
Ask your AI to call your own phone first, so you hear how it introduces itself and describes a job before it calls any business. Next, ask your AI to call 2 or 3 businesses about 1 small job, and see how the summary text looks.
What your AI can get quotes for
Plumbers and contractors
Your AI calls a few plumbers about a leaky kitchen faucet, describes the problem, and asks for a price range and their next opening.
For a bigger job, like a small bathroom update, it asks contractors for a rough estimate and when they could come look.
Movers
Your AI gives a moving company your move date, home size, and both addresses, and asks what the move would cost.
It asks every mover the same questions, so the prices you get back are easy to compare.
Auto shops
Your AI calls 2 or 3 garages, describes the noise your car is making, and asks for a price range for diagnosis and repair.
It also asks how soon they could take the car in.
Cleaners
Your AI asks local cleaning services what a one-time deep clean would cost for your place, and which days they have open.
You get each answer side by side in 1 text.
How a quote call works, start to finish
1. You describe the job once
Tell your AI what you need done, where, and by when, plus anything a business will ask, like the car model or the size of your place. Add the businesses you want called, or ask your AI to suggest a few for you to approve.
2. Your AI calls 1 business at a time
The plan handles 1 call at a time, so your AI works through your short list in order. On each call it explains the job, asks for a price or estimate range, and asks when they're available.
3. It keeps notes as it goes
If a business can't quote by phone, your AI asks for a rough range or the next step, like an estimate visit. If nobody answers, it moves on and tells you which ones it couldn't reach.
4. You get a side-by-side summary
When the calls are done, your AI texts you each business's price or range, availability, and any notes. You decide who to go with and contact them yourself, or ask your AI to call back with a follow-up question.
What to tell your AI before it calls
The job details
Describe the job clearly: what's wrong or what you need, the address or area, and your timing.
Example: "Get quotes from 3 plumbers near me for a leaky kitchen faucet. I'm home most weekday mornings."
Who to call
Give your AI the businesses to call, or let it find a few and show you the list first.
Calls go to US and Canada numbers only.
Your limits
Tell your AI what it may share, like your first name and the job details, and what it must not share.
Say how you want answers: price range, earliest opening, and any visit fee.
Your permission
Keep tool-approval prompts on, so your AI checks with you before each call.
Tell it to say it will check with you if a business asks it to commit to anything.
What you get back and what your AI won't do
Your summary text
A short text listing each business, its price or estimate range, when it can do the job, and any notes like a visit fee.
Businesses it couldn't reach are listed too, so you know who to try again.
Follow-ups and callbacks
Want to ask 1 business a follow-up? Tell your AI and it calls back with your question.
If a business calls or texts your AI's number later, your AI can pick up or reply, and pass the answer on to you.
What your AI won't do
It won't accept a quote, book the work, sign anything, or pay anyone. It also won't share payment details.
It can't make a business give a price. It asks, and reports back what they said.
Works with the AI you already use
ChatGPT and Grok Bot
ChatGPT: add Bland's MCP URL (https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp) as a connector, then sign in with Bland when ChatGPT opens it.
Grok Bot: use the wallet-assisted setup, or the manual MCP route.
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex
Claude Desktop and Claude Code: add Bland's MCP server (https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp) with a Bland API key in an Authorization: Bearer header, or with Bland sign-in.
Codex: add Bland's MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml (URL https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp), with the API key read from the BLAND_API_KEY environment variable. Bland sign-in isn't available for Codex yet. Sign in with Bland will apply once dynamic client registration is available. Until then, Codex uses an API key.
Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and Meta Muse
Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI: add Bland's MCP server URL plus your API key header. Each app has its own config spot. Your API key is in your Bland dashboard settings.
Meta Muse: connects through Bland's REST API with a secure credential flow, not MCP.
Keep approvals on
Calls and texts have real-world effects, so keep tool-approval prompts on in whichever app you use.
Bland isn't affiliated with these companies; it connects through each app's supported tools.

Questions
What's the difference between the Agent Phone Plan and trying it for free?
The Agent Phone Plan gives your AI its own dedicated US local number to make and receive calls and send and receive texts, for $14.99 for the first month, then $29.99/month. You can try it for free. That try covers outbound calls only, from a shared Bland number: no dedicated number, no texting, no incoming calls.
What exactly does my AI do on a quote call?
It calls a service business, describes the job you gave it, asks for a price or estimate range and when they're available, then moves to the next business. When it's done, it texts you a side-by-side summary.
Will my AI agree to a job or pay for anything?
No. Your AI only asks and reports back. It doesn't accept a quote, book work, agree to anything, or pay anyone. You decide who to hire.
What if a business can't give a price over the phone?
Some businesses only quote after a visit. Your AI asks for a rough range or the next step, like an estimate visit, and texts you what they said.
How many businesses can my AI call?
It calls 1 business at a time, up to 20 calls/hour and 50 calls/day under fair use. That's plenty for comparing a few quotes, but it isn't built for calling long lists.
What happens if a business calls back while my AI is on another call?
The plan handles 1 call at a time, so a new incoming call hears a busy signal while a call is live. The business can call again or text your AI's number.
Which AI apps work with the Agent Phone Plan?
ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Grok Bot, and Meta Muse. Most connect through Bland's MCP server; Meta Muse uses Bland's REST API.
What does it cost after the first month?
$29.99/month. The first month is $14.99 on your account's first plan, and your card is charged when you approve.
Bland's own price: first month, renewal, and what the plan includes.
