  • WhatsApp and a website chatbot too, and bigger plans for teams.
  • Setup by their team if you want it (one-off, from €69).

Where RingBrio is better

  • €89 a month without a 6-month term. HandiQ Start is €99 a month, or €89 on a 6-month term.
  • Texts to callers don't use up credit: they don't come off your call minutes.
  • One plan with everything in it, with no per-minute charges (fair use up to 500 minutes).
