How do I call a phone from Chrome without an extension?
Short answer
Open twin-phone.com in Chrome, sign up with an email or Google, add credit and allow the microphone when Chrome asks. Type the number with its country code and press Call: the dialer runs in the tab over WebRTC, which Chrome has built in, so no extension or app is needed. Calls to the US and Canada cost $0.02 a minute.
What are the steps in Chrome?
- Go to twin-phone.com and choose Sign up — an email and password, or your Google account.
- Add credit: the smallest top-up is $10, and it never expires.
- Open the dialer. When Chrome asks to use your microphone, choose Allow.
- Type +, the country code and the number. The rate appears under the keypad before you press Call.
Chrome blocked the microphone — how do I fix it?
Click the icon to the left of the address → Site settings → Microphone → Allow, then reload the page. On a Mac, also check that System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone includes Google Chrome. More fixes: microphone not working.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or on a Chromebook?
Yes. Edge and Brave are built on the same engine as Chrome and work the same way, and so does Chrome on a Chromebook. Firefox and Safari work too. On a phone, the iPhone app keeps you reachable when the browser is closed.
More questions
Do I need an extension or plug-in?
No. The dialer is the web page itself; Chrome's built-in WebRTC carries the call.
Does the person I call need Chrome?
No. They answer an ordinary call on their phone.
Which number does the person see?
A shared TwinPhone number, unless you rent a US or Canadian number or show your own verified mobile for $1.00 a month.
