01What it is
What Grasshopper actually is
Its desktop and mobile apps manage business calls, texts and extensions. Check the plan for the numbers and users you need.
02The model
How Grasshopper is priced
Plans have different number, user and extension allowances. Some include unlimited users, so a per-seat comparison alone can mislead.
Plan terms change. Check Grasshopper's own pricing page for its current figure. Airlophone publishes every rate at /rates.
03Where it stops
Where it stops, if the problem is international calling
Check international activation first.
Grasshopper says international calling requires an account older than 60 days and contacting care to enable it.
Keep your number decision separate.
A new Airlophone account cannot receive a ported Grasshopper number. Keep that number with a suitable provider.

Common questions
Does every Grasshopper plan charge per user?
Do not assume so. Its plans have different allowances, and some include unlimited users. Check the offer you use before comparing it with Airlophone.
Can a new Grasshopper account call internationally immediately?
Grasshopper currently says international calling requires an account older than 60 days and contacting care to enable it. Check its instructions for your account.
