# `bird voice calls`

## Usage

```bash
bird voice calls
```

## Description

A call starts the selected sequence after the recipient answers. Browser confirmation
approves the real, billable call. Acceptance reserves call and leg IDs; connection and
settled cost appear in the initial leg after it registers.

Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request.
