Hi Relay Inbox team, Our monthly Relay Inbox charge rose from $69 to $119, and we didn't intend to change plans. Could you tell us what changed, and move us back to the $69 plan or the closest plan that fits our usage? If an annual or loyalty rate is available, we'd like to hear about it as well. Thank you, Acme Outdoor Co.
