Free video and voice calls that stay free. And when you need to reach a real phone, dial 220+ countries at rates starting at 1 cent a minute. FREE CALLS, NO CATCH Start a private call or a group call and share the link. Whoever you send it to can join from this app or straight from their browser, with no account and nothing to install. Voice or video, one to one or a whole group, for as long as you like. There is no per-minute charge, ever. In a call you get screen sharing, text chat, camera switching, mute, and a participant list. Already have a FreeCallMe friend? Ring them by email and their phone lights up. CALL REAL PHONES WORLDWIDE Dial any mobile or landline in 220+ countries and territories. We show you the exact per-minute price before you press call, so nothing is a surprise. United States 1 cent a minute. United Kingdom, Canada, Hungary and Romania 2 cents. Mexico and France from 3 cents. No contract, no monthly fee, no expiry games. New accounts get 25 cents of credit so your first call to a phone is on us. After that you top up when you want to, in the amount you want to. GET YOUR OWN PHONE NUMBER Want people to be able to call you back? Rent a real US number as an optional monthly or yearly subscription. Pick your area code, and it becomes your caller ID on outgoing calls and your line for incoming ones. Every plan includes 200 incoming minutes a month, and answering works on your phone or in your browser. VOICEMAIL AND MISSED CALLS Your number takes messages when you cannot. Voicemail arrives in the app with a player and a duration, missed calls show a badge on the Phone tab, and anyone you would rather not hear from goes on your blocklist and gets a busy signal.

We never ask for your phone number to create an account, and you can delete your account and all its data from inside the app at any time. WHO IT IS FOR Families spread across borders. Anyone travelling or living abroad who does not want roaming charges. Freelancers and small businesses who want a separate number that is not their personal one.
