FAQ

Questions before you choose

Is Lightspeed Voice a bad choice for insurance agents?

No. Lightspeed Voice may be the better fit when its broader communications, device, routing, team, or integration model matches the agency's needs. This comparison is about product fit, not a universal winner.

When will Informed + Choice Business Telephone be available?

Business Telephone is coming soon at $39.99 per month. Join early access now and we will follow up when paid signup opens after final launch checks.

Is there a Business Telephone free trial?

No. Payment will be required before activation and telephone-number provisioning. Any included usage allowance or additional usage charges will be disclosed before purchase.

Does Business Telephone include all Essentials features?

No. Business Telephone is a focused product and does not automatically unlock quoting, Annual Review, websites, events, or the complete Essentials workspace. Essentials begins with a guided demo and approved provisioning.

Can I ask to keep my existing number?

Yes. Ask about number porting during setup. Porting availability and requirements must be confirmed for the specific number before activation.
