What can change your bill
Extra minutes
Past the included minutes each minute costs 5 cents. The most you can be billed in overage is $50 a month on Basic and $100 on Pro. At the cap forwarding pauses and texts keep arriving.
Extra numbers
Each number beyond the included ones costs $1 a month on Basic and $0.50 on Pro, prorated by the share of the billing period left when you add it.
Burns
After the trial the first burn each UTC month is free. Each further burn that month adds $1 to your next bill. The burn screen shows the charge before you confirm.

| Pro, 3,000 billed minutes | (3,000 minus 1,000 included) times 5 cents | 2,000 overage minutes, $100, exactly the Pro cap, so forwarding pauses |
