SPAM Calls Counted as Billable Minutes

critical overage

SPAM and robocalls count toward your minute allocation and overage charges. Multiple users report being charged tens of thousands in overage fees for unwanted calls, with CallRail refusing refunds unless calls are manually marked as SPAM before the billing cycle ends.

Callrail has charged us tens of thousands of dollars in "overage fees" for minutes that were taken up by SPAM calls. After speaking with the tech support I thought they were headed toward some type of refund. They admitted that our volume of SPAM calls was VERY high and it was causing the overage minutes. They seemed confident that we would be able to get reimbursed for the overage charges. But when we finally reached the billing department they said "Regrettably, we do not offer any refunds for spam callers. You have the option of marking unwanted callers as spam. If this is done prior to your bill cycle ending, then the calls will be removed from your call log.

Unreliable System Performance

high support

Frequent system outages, integration disconnects, and technical issues can result in missed calls and lost revenue. Users report regular problems with call logging, SMS functionality, and workflow automation.

If I could give this a negative number I would very easily. Integrations disconnect on a regular basis impacting all of your metrics and revenue. Phone numbers are reused so you receive calls from the prior business which again impact your analytics and revenue. Call and SMS logging rarely works so outreach cadence and tracking do not align which impacts analytics and revenue. Workflows that handle call flows for lead distribution do not work which drastically impacts revenue and UX.

It was a great seamless company; till 2021, 2022, they doubled their prices and halved their services, no longer a dependable company. Poorest customer service, almost scammy in adding features, double charging and closing accounts randomly.
