International calls shouldn't cost a fortune
Roaming fees are predatory
International roaming can cost $2-5+ per minute. That's not sustainable for calls with clients, family, or colleagues.
International plans are confusing
Tiered pricing, hidden fees, limited countries, monthly commitments. You never know what you'll actually pay.
Local presence is expensive
Having a local number in another country used to mean buying a local SIM, visiting a shop, dealing with paperwork—or paying thousands through carriers.
Businesses need local credibility
When you call from a foreign number, people don't answer. A local number increases answer rates and builds trust with clients in new markets.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a real phone number?
+
Yes. You get a real, genuine local phone number that works exactly like any other phone number in that country. People can call you on it, text you, and use it for verification codes. It's a real number issued by legitimate carriers.
Do I need to download an app?
+
No. TwinPhone works entirely in your browser—Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. No installation, no SIM cards, no carrier changes. Just log in and you're ready to call.
Can I receive calls on my number?
+
Yes. Inbound calls ring straight to your browser when you're logged in. You can answer immediately. If you're offline, calls go to voicemail which gets transcribed automatically.
Are calls really encrypted?
+
Yes. Every call is end-to-end encrypted by default. Only you and the person you're calling can hear the conversation. We can't listen in, and neither can anyone else on the network.
What if I need a number in a country not listed?
+
We support 145+ countries and keep adding more. Check the full list when you sign up. If you need a specific country, reach out—we're always expanding based on user demand.
