Every day

Everything a phone line does, in a browser tab.

Once you're set up, HeyNum works like the phone you already know — just without the phone.

Calls ring in every open tab. The first time you call, your browser asks for the microphone — that's the only setup.

Under the hood

Real phone network, modern web technology

Your HeyNum number is a real mobile line on the phone network. Your browser simply becomes the handset.

Real mobile numbers

Numbers come from the mobile ranges of each country, through licensed carrier partners — so they ring and receive texts like any other mobile.

HD voice over WebRTC

Calls use WebRTC, the standard built into every modern browser, with the Opus codec for clear, HD voice even on mobile data.

Encrypted connections

The app is served over HTTPS, and call audio between your browser and our servers is encrypted with DTLS-SRTP.

Synced everywhere

Messages, voicemail and settings live in your account, not on one device — sign in anywhere and pick up where you left off.

Do I need to keep a browser tab open?

To make and answer calls in the browser, yes — HeyNum needs to be open in a tab or installed on your home screen. When it isn't, your calls go to voicemail or are forwarded to another phone, texts wait in your inbox, and notifications tell you what you missed.

Can I use HeyNum on several devices?

Yes. Sign in on your laptop, tablet and phone: your numbers, messages and voicemail stay in sync, and incoming calls ring on every device where HeyNum is open.

Does it work on mobile data?

Yes. HeyNum works on Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G. A call uses roughly 0.3 to 0.6 MB per minute — an hour of calls is about the size of a few photos.

Will my number work when I travel?

Yes. Your number works anywhere you have an internet connection, with no roaming charges on your HeyNum line. Calls to your number's country still use your included minutes.

Is there a desktop or mobile app?

HeyNum is a web app, so there's nothing to download from a store. If you'd like an icon on your home screen or dock, install it from your browser in two taps — it then opens in its own window, like any other app.

Why does my browser ask for the microphone?

To carry your voice during calls. Your browser asks once, the first time you call; HeyNum only uses the microphone while a call is in progress. You can change this permission at any time in your browser settings.

Your new number is one click away.
