Frequently Asked Questions
Can calls be traced back to me?
Using a virtual number prevents receivers from seeing your personal number. However, account records may exist with StartACall. For legal or emergency cases, providers may be required to disclose details when compelled by law.
Can I hide my caller ID?
Yes. You can present a virtual number as the caller ID so your actual phone number is not displayed to recipients.
Is browser calling encrypted?
Calls use encrypted WebRTC channels while in transit. StartACall also uses secure carrier transport to connect to the public phone network.
Can I receive SMS on virtual numbers?
Many virtual numbers support SMS. Availability depends on the country and number type. Check the number details in your dashboard after signing up.
Is anonymous calling legal?
Laws vary by country and region. Anonymous calling is legal for privacy and safety in many cases but may be restricted when used for harassment or illegal activities. Always follow local laws.
