No, you don't. Some customers simply like to purchase additional numbers in their home country to expand their presence. If you'd like a number in a different state or province, you can signup with EasyRinger and then easily assign your new number to your current phone service.

See our virtual number list for a list of countries where we can provide you with a virtual phone number.If your country isn't shown, then please contact us.

You pay a low fixed monthly fee for your EasyRinger number and plan. The price depends on the country (for example $10 for the US). Included in each plan is $2 of calling credit which expires on your monthly anniversary. You can also purchase calling credit that never expires. Please see our order form details.

You pay a low per-minute fee from your pre-paid balance. See below our current rates.There's a standard $0.03 connection charge per call.

Numbers outside of the United States and Canada require special documentation. This is a 2011 decision made by members of the virtual number industry to help reduce fraud and is out of our control. We may ask for both a scanned copy of your ID (like your passport or national ID card) and a scanned copy of a paper showing your address, though in many cases, just one is needed. These important documents are never shared with anyone outside of EasyRinger except for securing your phone number.

Yes, we do. If you are away from your phone or have powered off, our service will give your callers the option to leave a voicemail. Voicemails are delivered instantly as mp3 files to the email address you used to sign up.
You have control over your voicemail message and the pickup time. Or, you can turn it off entirely.

Yes. Many of our numbers support SMS and MMS. When you are choosing a new number, you can see whether that number supports SMS or not. You can receive 20 free SMS messages in the USA or Canada per month. For other SMS rates and supported locations, please see our SMS rates below.

In many cases, you can. We've identified sets of numbers that work better than most for OTPs (One-Time Passwords). For many online services, you can receive these codes just like a regular number. But, in some cases, online providers may block virtual numbers. This is because virtual numbers are anonymous numbers - they cannot be associated with a person. Virtual numbers may be able to receive OTPs from some services, but not all. For 100% reliability, you need to enter into a contract with a major carrier which is much more expensive and committing than a virtual number.

It may seem odd at first, but it's easy. Just click the 'Make a Call' button and type in the number you want to call (don't forget the country code! No '0's are needed). If you have multiple EasyRinger numbers,it doesn't matter which screen you're on when you click 'Make a Call'. Your EasyRinger number isn't used for this feature. When you place a callback, our service will call you at your current destination number first, then connect you with your party. NOTE: Although, you do need an internet connection to start the call, you don't need it while you're talking; it's still phone-to-phone.

Though our service is usually reliable, sometimes there are problems. Here are some suggestions that you can try before contacting support':'

Check to make sure your destination number is set correctly. Sometimes there are even digits that you should remove when setting your destination (Thailand, for one). For more information, check this handy website

When you or one of your contacts calls your number, listen for any error messages or signals. This will usually give us a clue on how to address your problem.

Sometimes, especially for international calls and numbers outside of the US and Canda, there are longer connect times. Don't hang up after just two rings!

We are a US company based in Washington state, though we operate phone numbers in several different countries.We previously called our service "Call Me in China" because we focused exclusively on placing calls to phones in China and Hong Kong. Later, we expanded our service to the entire world. Our founders are former Microsoft engineers and managers working as expats in China who wanted to stay in closer contact with friends and family back home. So, we built this service and now are sharing it with you.
