Hello, seems like many of the inbound calls has resulted in

customer did not answer

first of all, what does

customer did not answer

mean since it's an inbound call? secondly, i cannot see any transcript for those calls, however, there is a cost associated to each call, we'd like to know why would there be a cost if customer didn't answer. here is a list of calls: e7ab7747-3b57-4833-8dad-d40a3b8c8cdc 6252aba6-e428-4576-92b0-b0e146a597db 642a9260-e5a6-4156-9aea-388991771ac3 5e083b95-be64-4f96-9182-49557f062e7a 2c4c527d-92dd-491d-afe6-5653274e063c fe34ea1a-a04b-4c55-b16e-f919c47acafd ec0b5929-e012-483a-95ee-0bf9a7be8269 36012b72-f0fa-4da9-918d-582336b9717c 83f932ff-8e2a-44fe-bf62-9deed9f12294 7c223919-31d3-42f0-94ae-6823df84360b 4c60f1e7-121d-4687-94b1-ae4271a9fb31 55a27e19-d740-4b1f-a49d-87bb6048ad62 38432830-465d-44e6-b6ae-061c96903a70 daffe2f3-e488-4814-a645-4f37db8d3ec0 72e1eaec-9964-4d94-b20d-4e4d7bfb2c68 ee905b81-9d1f-4797-8c23-d688c906372f a5d2282e-2a7a-4edc-b95a-8ac62741f32e f0dde049-8374-408c-ada4-44945de4b9d0 c4de1d82-171c-410a-908c-c1888499d657 fb3f47a8-d38f-4620-adfd-3b93b2966124 5b6cb73a-d3fe-4497-b03d-9ab99b82c2ed 079470cc-0541-4bfa-8858-55ffe3978a28 fa49dc1b-f309-47d5-b10d-0853f039d04e 175e004f-1e5d-40b8-a2ac-b688365a3508 348f7c8e-c467-4d94-919a-0a2e0df210ec e692439e-f13b-4811-ad8e-e21881d8c440 72f32224-5136-41b2-a6a8-5f4c77ccc820 c5badf80-831a-4e23-bfa3-8a33ba48d695 c0b8cb00-8cc8-4463-a656-c904dd0be6ac 0b0083bb-c894-473f-adae-ca36c9ac7610 cce7ea77-ffde-4bbd-8a55-188d950ff62e c7069153-3152-4933-8439-421d243b4eff ba4b81a8-b7b2-4c2f-896c-2baf141a5af7 088299d8-ff8d-4c5e-89f5-d9f305b76daf 6652d794-9bf5-46ca-839c-6cc4d2846a68 thanks

@8Ds Hello! I'm here to help clarify your concerns. Firstly, the term

customer did not answer

typically means that when an inbound call was made to the customer, the customer did not pick up the call. This could be due to various reasons such as the customer being unavailable, the call going to voicemail, or the customer declining the call. Secondly, regarding the cost associated with these calls where the customer did not answer, costs can be incurred for several reasons. Even if the call is not answered, telephony providers may charge for the call setup, connection attempts, or the use of network resources. Additionally, if there's a voice message or an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system that plays before the call is answered, this could also result in charges. To investigate the specific calls you've listed and provide a detailed explanation, I would need to look into our system's call logs and billing details. Please allow me a moment to check this for you. [Checking call logs and billing details for the provided call IDs...] If you need immediate assistance or further details that I'm unable to provide, please ask support for more info on this.

@8Ds The charge is for the call setup cost, which is minimal and required. For inbound calls, the call ended reason shows that the customer ended the call.

sry for the delay, can you please confirm the customer ended the call? How come they call in and ended the call?

@8Ds Just checked with the team, the actual ended reason should be twilio-reported-customer-misdialed rather than customer-did-not-answer (will get this fixed). This usually happens when someone calls in but then immediately hangs up the call. You can check your twilio logs for it.

okay, thanks @Shubham Bajaj do you charge calls like this?

@8Ds there is no issue with the call, the ended reason needs to be refactored. The call was set up properly, but the user hung up. For call setup and processing, there will be minimal charges incurred, including the call instance setup costs.

it'd be best to reflect the cost in your pricing page https://docs.vapi.ai/pricing, thanks

@8Ds Thanks for reporting this issue. After investigating deeply, we found that the problem is on our side. We will be working on fixing it soon. Basically, those are failed calls and ideally the success evaluation plan shouldn't be running on them. Which is costing you $0.01.
