You dial. Their phone rings. They pick up. DialHard places a real call to any number in 140+ countries โ€” landline or mobile. Nothing to install on their end: no app, no signup, no "are you on wi-fi?" Their phone rings like any other call. Pay only for the minutes you use. Rates from $0.03/min, shown on screen before you dial. Credit you've paid for doesn't expire. No plan, no contract. WHAT YOU GET โ€” Calls to 140+ countries, landline and mobile โ€” The per-minute rate on screen before you dial โ€” A real caller ID, so your calls look like what they are: a real person calling โ€” A drop that's on us refunds its minutes automatically โ€” Call history with every call and its cost โ€” One free echo call to hear your line work โ€” Your own number for receiving calls [verify: inbound live in build 47] โ€” Voicemail when you can't pick up [verify enabled] WHO RUNS IT A telecommunications provider registered in Germany (Bundesnetzagentur), operated under EU law. Your data sits under the GDPR. Support is a named person who answers, usually the same day. HOW BILLING WORKS Pay as you go: your account holds credit, and each call bills per minute at the rate shown before you dial. You can't spend past the credit you've added โ€” no surprise bills. An account is required. EMERGENCY CALLS 911, 112 and other emergency numbers don't go through DialHard. Keep your regular phone for those. PRIVACY Your contacts stay on your phone โ€” read on-device, never uploaded. Calls are not recorded. See https://dialhard.com/privacy.
