Frequently asked questions
Does EngageIQ replace human agents?
No. EngageIQ is hybrid by design. AI handles dialing, qualification, data entry, and call scoring at scale, while human agents focus on high-value conversations and closing. Campaigns can run fully AI, fully human, or any blend.
Are there setup or onboarding fees?
No. Setup, onboarding, and migration are included with no setup fee or long-term contract. Phone numbers have a published $1 one-time setup charge.
Can I scale usage up or down?
Yes. Seats and usage appear on one bill, so capacity can change with your operation without adding separate product invoices or long-term commitments.
Do you support BYOC (Bring Your Own Carrier)?
Yes. EngageIQ supports Bring Your Own Carrier over SIP trunking, or you can use carriers provisioned through EngageIQ. ViciDial and custom-dialer migrations are hands-on with no disruptive cutover.
How does RND (Reassigned Numbers Database) pricing work?
RND checks are billed per lookup as a small per-dip fee. EngageIQ runs RND checks during compliance screening to avoid dialing reassigned numbers and reduce TCPA risk.
How long does migration take?
Most teams are live in days. Migration is hands-on and covers lists, campaigns, dispositions, carrier setup, and call flows. Team can keep existing carrier or switch to EngageIQ's.
