Switching does not mean a new phone number or a gap in coverage. A typical launch takes about a week, and most of that week goes into building the knowledge base Gala answers from.

Pull last month's numbers Count the calls and minutes on your last Cedri bill or call log. That tells you which Gala plan fits; the pricing page shows what each one includes.
Book the discovery call We look at the calls coming in, the tools you use and what you want Gala to handle. Nothing is configured yet. The goal is to agree on the scope.
We build the knowledge base, you validate it We assemble it from your website, your listings and public registries: services, prices, service areas and emergency rules. You correct it once, line by line.
Test, then forward your number We run real scenarios with you. Then your existing number is forwarded to Gala, so you keep the number your customers already call.
Cancel Cedri once Gala is answering Keep Cedri until Gala answers your forwarded line, then give notice on the terms of your Cedri agreement.
