Calls log themselves

Questions
What teams ask when they weigh LumaKol against Aircall.
Is there an Aircall alternative that uses your own SIM?
Yes, LumaKol. Each agent calls from the SIM and number already in their phone, and the LumaKol app logs the call to the lead: every work-SIM call on Android, with its exact duration, and calls started from LumaKol on iPhone, with an approximate duration. Aircall calls run over the internet from an Aircall number.
Is LumaKol cheaper than Aircall?
Usually, yes. LumaKol is priced per calling seat from one seat, with no per-minute charges, and up to 3 managers who don’t call are free. Aircall lists $30 or $50 per licence a month billed yearly, with at least 3 licences, and charges calls outside the US and Canada at rates on request. Compare both price lists above with your team’s size.
Can LumaKol give us local numbers in other countries?
No. LumaKol focuses on SIM calling: each agent calls from their own mobile number, so a team in London calls on UK SIMs and a team in Texas on US SIMs. If you need local numbers in many countries from one account, a cloud phone system such as Aircall fits that better.
Can I use LumaKol and Aircall together?
Some teams keep a cloud line for inbound support and use LumaKol for outbound and follow-up calls from mobiles. LumaKol logs calls made on the work SIM; calls placed through Aircall over the internet stay in Aircall and the CRM it connects to. LumaKol does not connect to Aircall directly.
