How It Works

🔒

How StartACall Delivers No-log Calling

Privacy controls at every layer so teams can choose what to store and what to discard.

Ephemeral Authentication

Short-lived browser tokens prevent long-term exposure of session credentials. Tokens expire automatically after the session ends.

Recording and Transcription Controls

Record or transcribe only when you opt in. By default audio is not stored and transcripts are disabled to reduce data retention.

Metadata Minimization

We store only operational metadata required for billing and service quality. You can enable additional minimization settings in account preferences.

Technical Highlights

StartACall uses WebRTC for direct browser media, Twilio for PSTN bridging, and an architecture that keeps media flows separate from persistent storage. AI features like copilot and agents process audio only when explicitly enabled and can be configured to avoid storing transcripts.

No Log Calling Service: Make Private Calls With No Number and No App

In short

StartACall is a browser based calling service built for privacy. You place calls straight from Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox with end to end encryption, no SIM card, and no app to install. Outbound calls need no phone number of your own, so there is no account tied to a SIM and no record on a phone bill.

Frequently asked questions

Does StartACall keep my calls off my phone bill?+

Yes. Calls run through your browser rather than your carrier, so they do not appear on a mobile phone bill. There is no SIM card involved and no carrier line tied to the call.

Are the calls encrypted?+

Yes. StartACall uses end to end encryption, so the audio stays private between you and the person on the other end.

Do I need a phone number to make private calls?+

No. Outbound calls require no phone number of your own. They are pay as you go and billed per minute. You only add a US or Canada digital number, at $2.14 to $5 per month depending on the number you pick, if you want to receive inbound calls.

Do I have to install an app?+

No. StartACall runs entirely in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox with no app download and no SIM card, so nothing stores a call history on your device.
