Questions
Travel questions, answered.
Straight answers before you choose your number.
Does my second number work outside the US and Canada?
Yes. Your number is from the US & Canada, but you can use it from anywhere in the world with Wi-Fi or mobile data. Calls and texts to US and Canadian numbers are included in your plan.
Will I pay roaming charges?
Calls and texts in the app use your internet connection, not your carrier’s calling plan, so on Wi-Fi there’s nothing extra to pay your carrier. Using mobile data abroad may cost extra, depending on your carrier or data plan.
Can I get a local number in the country I’m visiting?
Numbers are available in the US & Canada only. To call local numbers abroad, use in-app international credits, which reach 100+ countries.
I’m visiting the US. Can I get a US number before I arrive?
Yes. Choose a US number by area code or city before you travel, set up the app on your iPhone, and give the number to hotels, hosts and tour operators.
Can I receive verification codes while abroad?
Texts reach your second number wherever you’re connected, and many apps accept it for sign-up codes. Some banks and platforms block virtual (VoIP) numbers, so keep your main number active for those.
Can I call emergency services with it abroad?
Don’t rely on your second number for emergency calls. Use the local emergency number from your phone’s regular calling instead.
