 We now have a basic bot which replies a static message to "/start" and "/help" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. To start the bot, add the following to our source file:
 ```python
-bot.polling()
+bot.infinity_polling()

 Alright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this:
 ```python
 import telebot

 To start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter `python echo_bot.py` to run the bot! Test it by sending commands ('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages.
