Changelog

What we shipped

LimeCall updates continuously — there is no release you have to install and no version to upgrade to. This is the record of what changed, newest first.

Only customer-facing changes are listed. Most of what we merge in any week is internal tooling and plumbing, and putting it here would bury the parts you can actually see.

The widget starts a conversation

The website widget stopped waiting to be asked. It opens with suggested replies, gives the panel enough room to hold a real conversation, and exposes the same controls to your own code that the hosted call page has always had.

  • New

    Suggested replies on the widget teaser

    The opening state offers a few one-tap questions instead of an empty text box. Visitors who would never have typed the first message now start one, and the questions are yours to set.

  • New

    A JavaScript API that matches the call page

    Query availability, pick a department, open the widget from any anchor on the page, read the visitor id, and get a promise back when a callback is placed. Anything the hosted call page could do, your own page can now do.

  • Improved

    A bigger panel, with icon-only tabs

    The panel was sized for a callback form and then asked to hold a chat thread. It is wider and taller now, and the top tabs dropped their labels for icons so the extra width goes to the conversation.

  • Fixed

    Settings no longer offers a sending address we cannot send from

    The notification-sender picker listed addresses whose domain had never been verified, so choosing one silently broke your outbound email. It shows only addresses that will actually deliver, and says why the others are missing.

Numbers Devices

Bring your own desk phone

Your numbers can now register to a real SIP device — a desk phone, a softphone on your laptop, or an app on your mobile. Setup is a QR code, and the QR carries a one-time provisioning link rather than your credentials.

  • New

    A Devices tab in Settings

    Issue SIP credentials, see which devices have registered and when each was last used, and revoke one that should not be there. Client app downloads and setup instructions sit alongside.

  • New

    QR auto-configuration

    Point a supported softphone at the QR code and it configures itself. The code carries a single-use provisioning link that expires once redeemed, so a screenshot of it left in a chat thread is not a working account.

  • Improved

    Number transfers point at the system that runs them

    The porting screens were calling an endpoint that no longer existed, so a submitted transfer could go nowhere without saying so. They are wired to the live porting service, and a request you submit now appears with a status you can track.

Routing for the calls that come through your website

The biggest change to widget calling since it launched. A call raised from your site can go to the AI receptionist, a named person, or a team — with departments, working hours, voicemail and a fallback chain behind it.

  • New

    Send widget voice to AI, a person, or a team

    Choose per widget where a voice call lands. Add departments so the visitor picks who they need, and set a cascade so a call nobody answers moves down the list instead of ending.

  • New

    Voicemail, missed-call SMS and recording on widget calls

    The routing options inbound phone calls already had now apply to calls raised from your site. A missed call can leave voicemail, send you an SMS, or both.

  • New

    AI minutes overflow to a human

    When an account runs out of AI minutes mid-month, widget calls route to a member or team instead of failing. Previously they simply stopped connecting.

  • Improved

    Live channels switch off outside working hours

    If widget voice is routed to people rather than the AI, the live options hide themselves when nobody is working, instead of offering a call that will ring an empty room.

  • Fixed

    Honest call status, and the rating screen after a human call

    The in-widget status said connected while the phone was still ringing, and the post-call rating never appeared on human-routed web calls. Both corrected, and the call room now tears down when the human hangs up.

  • Fixed

    The chat assistant knows what time it is

    The widget assistant had no clock and no idea which channel it was on, so it offered to call people back at two in the morning and answered chat questions with phone instructions. It has both now, and a prompt of its own.

Numbers Dashboard

Number verification in five steps

Buying a regulated number means proving who you are, and the old flow asked for documents in an order that did not match what the carrier wanted. It is one wizard now, and it asks only for what your specific number requires.

  • Improved

    One ordered wizard, on both the in-app page and the emailed link

    Identity, address, business details, documents, review — in that order, with the requirements computed from the country and number type you ordered rather than read off a generic list.

  • Improved

    Uploads are checked against the document type

    Every upload is validated against what that step expects, so a passport dropped into the proof-of-address slot is rejected at the point of upload rather than a week later by the carrier.

  • New

    Callback-plan usage in the sidebar

    Accounts on a callback plan are metered in callbacks, not minutes, and the sidebar shows the count that is actually being billed. Leads moved to the top level of the navigation at the same time.

AI answering on callback plans

Callback plans can use the AI receptionist, with the minutes metered properly and a human waiting on the other side of the limit.

  • New

    AI answering is metered on callback plans

    AI time on a callback plan counts against your AI minutes rather than running unmetered, so the usage you see is the usage you have.

  • New

    Bridge to a human when minutes run out

    Rather than dropping the call, an account at its AI limit hands the caller to the configured member or team.

  • Fixed

    The setup wizard remembers your transfer destination

    The Transfer Destination set while creating an agent was discarded on save, so agents built through the wizard could not transfer at all. Agents created before this may need the field saved once more.

Security Numbers

Account security, and a way out of a stuck order

A batch of security work across sign-in and messaging, plus a fix for number orders that had no path forward once a document was rejected.

  • Fixed

    Signing out everywhere now really signs out everywhere

    Changing your password or ending all sessions revoked your tokens, but a session could quietly renew itself through the refresh endpoint and carry on. It cannot any more, and the same holds for suspensions and bans.

  • Improved

    Verification codes are rate limited while the burst is happening

    The limiter used to notice a flood of one-time codes after the fact. It refuses them in the moment, which protects both your number and your bill.

  • Fixed

    A blocked number order can be fixed instead of abandoned

    When a document was rejected the order had no route back to the upload step, so the only option was to start again. There is a way through, and every pending order is listed in one place with exactly what is missing from each.

Billing Numbers

Trials that start and end when they say they do

Housekeeping on the plan lifecycle, and a race that could leave a paid trial without the number it had paid for.

  • Fixed

    A paid trial always gets its number

    Number allocation and widget-key creation could race at signup, and the loser meant an account with a plan and no number. The order is deterministic now.

  • Fixed

    Trials expire on schedule

    Trial expiry was handled by a job that had never been registered, so a trial could sit open past its fourteenth day. It runs, and the countdown in the dashboard matches it.

  • Improved

    The Free plan no longer reserves a number it cannot use

    Free accounts were being allocated a phone number they had no way to use. They are not, which keeps the inventory available to accounts that will.

Numbers Security

Per-number settings, and honest SMS capability

Number settings had grown past one screen, so they were split. And the dashboard stopped implying that every number can send SMS.

  • Improved

    Phone-number settings, tabbed

    Routing, voicemail, recording, business hours and messaging each get a tab instead of one long scroll.

  • New

    Whether a number can send SMS is now answerable

    US numbers carry their 10DLC registration state and the number list reports it, so you find out before a message fails rather than after.

  • Improved

    Guardrails on the AI agent and on web calls

    Prompt-injection protection so a caller cannot talk the assistant out of its instructions, and a per-IP daily cap on web calls so one visitor cannot drain an account.

Dashboard
Permalink

A dialer you can work from

The in-browser dialer picked up the controls a working rep needs, and campaigns learned to target a list instead of everyone.

  • New

    In-call controls

    Hold, mute, transfer and notes live on the call overlay itself, next to the caller context, rather than somewhere else in the dashboard.

  • New

    Do-not-call guard, recent redial, and a device picker

    The dialer checks a number against your do-not-call list before it rings, keeps recent numbers one click away, and lets you choose which microphone and speaker it uses.

  • New

    Campaigns target a saved segment

    Point a campaign at a segment instead of the whole contact list.

Dashboard AI receptionist

Contacts, agents and settings, filled in

Three parts of the dashboard that had been placeholders became real: the contact record, the AI agent configuration, and account settings.

  • New

    A full contact panel

    Edit a contact in place, read the detailed call log, and keep notes and an activity trail against the record.

  • Improved

    AI agent configuration, restructured

    An Overview tab for the settings everyone changes, an Advanced tab for the ones few do, and a separate home for API access and webhooks.

  • New

    Settings gains renewal context, usage alerts, a Team tab and session control

    See when you renew and for how much, set an alert before usage runs out, manage teammates, and end sessions on devices you no longer use.

  • New

    Configure the receptionist by talking to it

    A chat-based setup tab where you describe what the agent should do and it writes its own configuration, instead of you filling in a form of prompt fields.

Buying numbers, seeing usage, teaching the agent

A large batch across billing, numbers and the knowledge base. Most of the self-serve surface of the dashboard landed in one week.

  • New

    Buy US numbers from the dashboard

    Search available numbers, pay, and have the number allocated to your account without talking to anyone.

  • New

    Plan and billing, expanded

    Cards, invoices, plan changes and cancellation in one place, with AI-talk and phone meters on the billing card and in the sidebar. The billed voice meter is labelled Outbound voice minutes, which is what it has always measured.

  • New

    AI overage credits

    A credit balance you can top up, so running past your AI minutes limits the agent rather than stopping it dead.

  • New

    Calls by page

    Which landing pages drove phone calls, ranked. The report marketing kept asking for.

  • New

    Connect your own API to the AI agent

    An Actions panel where the agent can call an endpoint you own during a conversation — to check stock, look up an order, or book something in your system.

  • New

    Test the agent from your browser

    A microphone test call, so you can hear what a caller hears before pointing a real number at it.

  • Improved

    Inbox: star, close, reopen and block

    Conversations can be triaged, with Open, Closed and Blocked tabs. Starring or closing creates the lead; blocking turns on spam screening for that sender.

  • Improved

    Knowledge base with a friendlier add flow

    A tabbed page and a shorter path to getting your first document in, which is where most accounts used to stop.

This page starts in July 2026, when we began keeping it. Work shipped before then is not listed rather than reconstructed after the fact.
