<@1145576664366055464> why does leaving voicemail messages cost extra tokens.

Thanks for tagging me <@139490285901053962>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 

I don't have information in the available sources that explains why leaving voicemail messages costs extra tokens or details the specific pricing/token structure for voicemail functionality.

The documentation covers how to configure voicemail detection and the options available (hang up or leave a message) , but doesn't address token costs or pricing specifics. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/handle-voicemail>)

Check out these potentially useful sources:
- [Handle voicemail](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/handle-voicemail>)
- [Get Voice Agent](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/get-agent>)

For pricing and billing questions, I'd recommend reaching out to Retell AI support directly. Would you like me to try to provide a general answer based on my knowledge instead?
