The card is charged that day and then on the same day each month, separate from your plan, and nothing changes in how it works.<\/li>\n<li>To let it end, do nothing. You are never charged for a trial ending.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Good to know<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In the last three days of a trial, a banner appears under the top bar with a <strong>See upgrades<\/strong> button. For a week after a trial ends, a banner says so with <strong>Turn back on<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Press the X on the banner to put it away. Putting away the ending soon banner does not hide the ended one.<\/li>\n<li>The owner gets an email three days before a trial ends, and another when it has ended.<\/li>\n<li>When a trial ends, everything it made stays on your contact records. Recordings made during the Call Recording trial keep their two years.<\/li>\n<li>After it ends: new recordings are kept for your plan&#8217;s days, AI summaries and AI coaching stop, and sequence emails become tasks to send by hand.<\/li>\n<li>The RealDialer AI trial comes with a free trial AI allowance. Its card shows how much is used. If it is used before the trial ends, calls are still transcribed at standard accuracy and AI summaries pause.<\/li>\n<li>You can turn an ended upgrade back on any time from its card with <strong>Turn it back on<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Texting is a paid upgrade from the first day. Once it is added you register your business with the carriers, and texts go out when the registration is approved.<\/li>\n<li>Neighborhood Search is paid with skip trace credits, not a trial. Every account starts with free starter credits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every account gets Call Recording, RealDialer AI and Email Starter switched on for free for 14 days.
