Make real calls to any mobile or landline in 200+ countries, directly from your browser. No app. No SIM card. No contract.
Make your first call in 5 steps
1. Create a free account
Sign up with your Google account or email address. No credit card is required to register. Verification takes under a minute.
2. Add credit from $1
Top up your WorldDial wallet using any credit or debit card, processed securely by Stripe. Your credit never expires and there is no subscription or monthly fee. You only pay for the calls you make.
3. Choose your country and enter the number
Select the destination country from the dropdown, over 200 countries supported, and enter the phone number you want to call. WorldDial shows you the exact per-minute rate before you dial.
4. Press call, they answer on their phone
Your browser connects through WorldDial's infrastructure (powered by Twilio) directly to the person's mobile or landline. No app is needed on the receiving end. The person you're calling sees a call from a real phone number and answers as normal.
5. Pay only for what you use
The exact call cost (billed per minute, rounded up) is deducted from your wallet when the call ends. You can see a full breakdown in your call history. No surprise charges.
The technology behind WorldDial
WorldDial uses WebRTC (the same technology that powers video calls in your browser) to capture your voice, and routes it via Twilio's global carrier network to connect your call to any mobile or landline number worldwide. The call is carried over the public telephone network (PSTN) on the destination end, which is why the person you call doesn't need any special equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What equipment do I need to use WorldDial?
A laptop or desktop computer with a microphone is all you need. WorldDial runs entirely in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). No app download, no special hardware, no VoIP adapter.
Does the person I call need WorldDial?
No. The person you call receives the call on their regular mobile or landline phone, exactly as if someone called them from a phone. They don't need WorldDial, a smartphone, or any special equipment.
How is the call quality?
WorldDial uses Twilio's global carrier network, which connects through the public telephone network (PSTN) to the destination number. Call quality is equivalent to a standard phone call and depends on your internet connection quality.
What countries can I call?
WorldDial supports calls to over 200 countries and territories worldwide. This includes all major mobile networks and landlines in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific.

No. Your WorldDial credit does not expire. You can top up once and use it whenever you need to make a call, over weeks or months.
What is the minimum top-up amount?
