AgentCall

AgentCall gives AI agents US and Canada phone numbers for SMS, OTP extraction and AI voice calls, through a REST API and a hosted MCP server.

Overview

AgentCall is a hosted phone number API for AI agents. It provisions US and Canada local and toll-free numbers that send and receive SMS, place and answer voice calls, and can run an AI voice agent or an AI texting agent on the number. It has no iMessage or RCS support.

Key features

  • Number provisioning in one REST call or MCP tool call
  • SMS inbox per agent, with automatic OTP extraction (Pro for new accounts)
  • AI receptionist for inbound calls and AI-run outbound calls in 31 languages, with transfer to a human
  • Two-way AI SMS that can call tools you host, or a relay mode that forwards texts to your own agent
  • Caller memory across calls and texts, with each entry backed by a transcript quote
  • Scheduled texts so the agent can message first
  • HMAC-signed webhooks with automatic retries
  • Hosted MCP server with 62 tools, plus a Node.js SDK
  • Numbers registered on AgentCall's own 10DLC campaign

How it compares to Linq

Linq sends iMessage, RCS and SMS. AgentCall sends SMS only, and its docs say it has no MMS. AgentCall's API places and answers calls, including AI-run calls, while Linq's docs say its API does not place or answer calls. Linq charges a flat monthly fee from $260 with no per-message fees; AgentCall charges $19.99 a month plus per-message and per-minute rates. Both publish an MCP server.

Best for

Developers who want an AI agent to have its own US or Canada number for texting, calling and receiving verification codes, and who do not need iMessage.
