## Introduction
-By default, if an assistant's primary voice experiences any failure, Vapi will automatically attempt to use other available voices to continue the call. While this ensures call continuity, you might want more control over which specific voices are used as fallbacks.
+Voice fallback plans give you the ability to continue your call in the event that your primary voice fails. Your assistant will sequentially fallback to only the voices you configure within your plan, in the exact order you specify.
-Fallback plans give you precise control over the fallback sequence. Your assistant will sequentially fallback to only the voices you configure within your plan, in the exact order you specify.

## How will pricing work?
-There is no change to the pricing of the voices. Your call will not incur any extra fees while using fallback voices, and you will be able to see the cost for each voice in your end-of-call report.
