Hi @Andrew, I'm an AI assistant for Vapi. I'll analyze available sources and get back to you shortly.
a
Hello, I created new assistant and need to test it. Is there any way to test it on web portal without phone calling? Iike to test using text conversation?
v
----------------------------- **While I generate an answer, here are some sources that might be helpful**: * [Dashboard]() * [Outbound Calling]() * [Web Calling]() * [Inbound Calling]() -----------------------------
### Answer Yes, you can test your assistant on the Vapi web portal without making a phone call by using the web calling feature. This allows you to interact with your assistant through a text conversation directly in the browser. You can start this type of session by following the process outlined in the documentation for starting a web call. This involves creating a temporary or persistent assistant configuration in your dashboard, then using the 
.start()
method with the assistant's configuration to initiate the session [(1)]() . For detailed steps and code examples, you can refer to the Web Calling section in the Vapi documentation.
a
do you charge money for this web calling feature? or is it free for testing purpose?
v
Got it. Tagging @User for additional help.
s
We charge for it.
a
Ok, so I can test my assistant for free in Dashboard and purchase the number for web or phone callings. right?
s
Nope. You need to pay for it. In web call you just don't get charged for the transport fee of voice provider. That's all
a
how can I check my remaining balance or credits?
s
You get 10$ for free just don't add your credit card details otherwise you will transition to pay-as-you-go user and you need to pay for it.
a
what page can I check this 10$?
s
There is no page through which you can see it. You will see an error regarding the overbilling limit issue when you exceed the free credit. After that, you can fix it by inserting your credit card and increasing the monthly limit.
a
hmm, no pages, is it WIP feature?
s
It is not a feature. It is known that everyone gets $10 free credit with a new account, but if you add your credit card details, you are converted to a pay-as-you-go user and you will have to pay for each call after it.

Hello, I have a problem with my account. I have credit in my wallet but I can't use it. The billing page is giving error 404 (Oops! We couldn't find this page). I want to change my limit and there's no option anywhere on the dashboard to do so.
