​
Voice Studio

We’ve created a new Voice Studio dashboard to allow users to create and manage their own cloned voices using Bland’s newest TTS models. Check it out here -> Voice Studio and read more about the development here.

​
Block Inbound Callers

You can now block specific phone numbers from calling your inbound numbers. Read more about it here.

You can manage blocked numbers through our API endpoints or directly in the dashboard.

​
Credit Threshold Alerts

Keep your team informed before credits run out.

  • Set a critical threshold to avoid service interruptions
  • Define a custom threshold for early alerts
  • Automatically receive an email alert when your credit balance drops below

​
Geo Permissions for BYOT

Organizations using Bring Your Own Twilio (BYOT) can now define their own outbound geo-permissions.

  • Full control over where your outbound calls are allowed
  • Aligns with your Twilio account’s permissions and risk controls

​
Warm Transfer Fallback Node (Enterprise)

Warm transfer failures no longer mean dead ends. You can now define a fallback node for warm transfers.

The fallback path returns the agent to the pathway, allowing full customization for scheduling a callback, collecting more info, or dialing another number.

​
Improvements

  • Fixed an error when sending batch calls that included a pronunciation guide
  • noise_cancellation now defaults to true on all sent calls
  • Exposes transferred call duration in call logs view
  • The GET /v1/calls endpoint now returns extracted citations (enterprise)
  • Refactored the transcript correction endpoint for faster and more accurate output
  • Reduced interruptions from filler words in speech detection
  • Fixed a bug where cancelling future scheduled calls with the stop specific call endpoint would not take effect

​
Billing Update: Outbound Call Pricing

We’re updating our billing structure for outbound calls to provide more transparency and consistency.

What’s changing:

  • Calls will continue to cost $0.09 per minute.
  • Outbound calls placed using Bland’s telephony now have a minimum charge of $0.015 per dispatched call.
  • If your call connects and exceeds this minimum (approximately 10 seconds at our per-minute rate), you’ll only pay the per-minute rate as usual, and won’t be affected by the change.

Why this change: This update reflects the actual costs we incur with carriers for each call attempt.

Example:

  • Call that doesn’t connect: $0.015 flat fee
  • Call that connects for 1 minute: $0.09 (Standard per-minute rate, minimum charge is absorbed)

This change takes effect on June 16, 2025. This change will not apply to current enterprise customers. If you have questions about how this affects your usage, please contact our support team at hello@bland.ai
