Frequently Asked Questions
How does browser-based calling work?
StartACall uses WebRTC (the same core technology behind many modern web calls) to make and receive calls directly in your browser. No apps or downloads. Just sign in and call.
Can I receive inbound calls on StartACall?
Yes. You can receive inbound calls in the platform. In most cases you'll use a virtual number so people can call you back, and you can answer from your browser.
Do I need a SIM card or a phone?
No. You only need a browser and an internet connection. You can optionally add a virtual number to receive calls.
How does pay-as-you-go pricing work?
You add credits to your account and they're deducted per minute when you make calls. No monthly contract required. Credits typically do not expire.
What are the international call rates?
Rates vary by destination. You can see the exact rate before you call inside your dashboard.
Can I call mobile phones and landlines?
Yes. You can call mobile phones and landlines worldwide. StartACall connects browser calling to traditional phone networks.
Is StartACall secure?
We use industry-standard encryption in transit and secure session handling. Your account and calling activity are protected with modern web security practices.
Can I get a virtual number to receive calls?
Yes. To receive inbound calls, you will typically add a US or Canada digital number. This is the simplest way for people to call you back and for you to answer in your browser.
Is this better than Skype or Google Voice?
If you want a browser-first product for international calling (and inbound calling), StartACall is built for that. Google Voice is limited by region and Skype requires an app for many workflows.
