Canada number questions
How much does a Canadian number cost?
$4.99 a month, paid from your OurByt calling credit: the first month when you choose the number, then monthly on the same date. We remind you 3 days before renewal if your credit is low.
Do I need to live in Canada?
No. You can get a Canadian number from anywhere and use it on your phone over Wi-Fi or mobile data. No ID is needed for a Canadian number today.
Will calls reach me when the app is closed?
Yes. Calls to your number ring on your lock screen like any other call, as long as your phone has an internet connection. Missed calls go to voicemail.
Can I make calls from the number?
Yes. Calls you make from the app show your number, paid per minute from your calling credit. You see the rate before every call.
Can I receive verification codes?
Many services send codes to OurByt numbers, but some banks and apps block internet numbers. Keep your home number for codes that matter most.
What if I stop paying?
If renewal fails, your number has a 7-day grace period: outgoing calls and texts pause and incoming calls go to voicemail. Add credit within 7 days to keep it. After that the number is released.
OurByt calling is not for emergency calls. Always dial emergency numbers from your phone's built-in dialler. More in the help centre.
