Widely is your mobile, with AI built in. One SIM. Your number, everywhere. EVERY CALL, COVERED • One global SIM — a single Widely SIM or eSIM that works everywhere. Switch it on and you're connected, with your calls, texts and data in one place. • Your number on every device — your one number rings on your iPhone, tablet, web browser and computer. Answer, call and text from whichever is in your hand. • Your AI receptionist — when you can't pick up, it answers in your words, with what you've allowed it to know, so every caller is looked after. Calls and WhatsApp messages on your number. • Recordings, transcripts, summaries — calls are recorded, transcribed and summarised, and transcripts can be translated into your language, so what was said and agreed is always there. YOUR BUSINESS, RUN FROM YOUR CONVERSATIONS Tell your AI what you offer, and it sets up your business for you. It builds your business menu and keeps your customers, orders and follow-ups in order, all from the calls and chats you're already having. • Show what you offer — customers see your services, prices and hours in a business menu right in the chat with you. • Take orders where you talk — customers ask, book and order in the same call or chat. • Every customer, remembered — each conversation adds to their history, so nothing needs re-explaining. • Works with your AI — Claude, ChatGPT or Widely's own AI, with what you've allowed it to know. THE SAME YOU, WHEREVER YOU ARE Family, friends, colleagues and customers reach you the way they always do, and your AI keeps up with it all. YOUR NUMBER • More numbers when you need them — add another number to the same app and answer it on every device. • Caller ID — you choose which number shows when you call. CALLS AND CHATS • Calls to any phone — the person you call doesn't need Widely. • Video calls, one to one or in a group, with anyone on Widely. • Chats with photos, videos, files, voice messages and location. • Push to Talk — press and hold to speak in a chat. DATA eSIM • Install the Widely eSIM once and it stays on your phone. • Data plans on your one global SIM: pay for the data you use, charged 0.1 GB at a time, with no pack that runs out. • Top up in the app. Your wallet credit doesn't expire. CONNECT YOUR COMMUNICATIONS TO YOUR AI • Widely Personal Assistant — ask about your calls, messages and voicemail in the app. • Connect the AI you already use, such as Claude or ChatGPT. It calls, texts, reads your voicemail, and turns your calls into summaries and follow-ups. • Errands — your AI calls a person or a business and speaks for you, within what you've agreed. AN OFFICE PHONE ON EVERY MOBILE A shared business number rings everyone who is available, and the team calls out showing it. Phone menus route each key to a person on your team or to a queue. PLANS FOR EVERYONE Start free, move to Pro or Business any time, and pay for data, numbers and calls from one wallet. Receiving calls on your Widely number is free, and calling or texting someone on Widely is free. Current plans and prices: widely-mobile.com.
