Buy a Virtual Canada Phone Number Online

It is a real Canadian phone number — a +1 number in a Canadian area code — that runs over the internet instead of a SIM card. Incoming calls ring in your browser tab or the TwinPhone iPhone app, incoming texts appear in your inbox, and you call out from the same screen at pay-as-you-go rates.

Texts from US and Canadian phone numbers and businesses, including most short-code verification codes. Texts sent from phones outside the US and Canada are blocked by the carrier and never arrive. WhatsApp codes do reach TwinPhone numbers: in the 90 days to 27 September 2026, 41 of our numbers — 6 of them Canadian — received 55 WhatsApp codes, and whether WhatsApp accepts a number is WhatsApp's decision. Telegram, banks and most payment services refuse virtual numbers on purpose — do not buy the number for those codes. The number receives texts only. Outgoing messages are not supported.

Area codes depend on availability, which changes with carrier inventory. Numbers in 437 (Toronto), 289 (Greater Toronto and Hamilton), 519 (Southwestern Ontario), 613 and 343 (Ottawa), 604 and 778 (Vancouver) and 306 (Saskatchewan) have all been rented through TwinPhone recently; the number search shows exactly what is in stock the moment you look.

From $3.19 per month, billed monthly, with no contract. Calls to Canada and the US are $0.02/min; the rate to any other country is shown before you dial. Outbound calls come off a prepaid balance — the first top-up is $10 and it does not expire.

No. Canadian and US numbers activate instantly with an email address and a payment — there is no address verification, which is exactly why TwinPhone does not rent UK or EU numbers, where regulators require it.

Porting an existing number into TwinPhone is not offered on the consumer product — you rent a fresh number. You can cancel any time from your account and the number stops at the end of the paid month.

Yes — a TwinPhone Canadian number can be picked in the dialer's "Call from" menu, so the person you call sees it as caller ID. Calls to the US and Canada cost $0.02 a minute from your prepaid balance, credit starts at $10, and the rate to any other country is shown before the call connects.

Yes — calls to a TwinPhone Canadian number ring over the internet in the browser or the TwinPhone apps in any country, with no roaming. Receiving a call costs $0.02 a minute from your balance, and the balance has to cover the first minute for the call to ring at all.

Usually the number is not lost — TwinPhone keeps a Canadian number on hold for up to 7 days while a declined renewal is retried, and emails a link to update the card. During the hold, calls do not ring and texts are kept aside, then delivered once it is paid. If it stays unpaid, the number is released.

Yes — TwinPhone rents Canadian numbers through Stripe checkout, which accepts cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Link; the methods shown depend on your country and device. The number renews monthly at the price you rented it for until you cancel, and it can be cancelled anytime in your account.

Yes — TwinPhone allows up to 3 numbers per account, in any mix of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, each billed as its own monthly rental. All of them ring in the same browser tab and apps, and the dialer's "Call from" menu chooses which one the person you call sees.

Yes — TwinPhone emails you about missed calls to your Canadian number, up to 3 a day, showing the caller's number partly masked, so you can call back. A call rings only while your balance covers the first minute, and an answered incoming call costs $0.02 a minute.

Yes, for calls — a TwinPhone Canadian number rings in the browser and the apps, and you can call out showing it as caller ID, so customers see a local Canadian number. It cannot send texts, so it does not suit two-way SMS with customers. Calls to the US and Canada cost $0.02 a minute.

Yes — anyone in any country can call a TwinPhone Canadian number as an ordinary international call to Canada, and it rings in your browser or the TwinPhone apps. The caller pays their own carrier's rate for calling Canada, and you pay $0.02 a minute from your balance when you answer.

TwinPhone deletes the text of each message received on a Canadian number after 7 days, so copy any code you want to keep. The number itself does not expire while its rental is paid, and it receives texts only from US and Canadian senders; it cannot send SMS of its own.

A TwinPhone Canadian number works as soon as the first month is paid: it appears in your account right away, takes calls in the browser or the apps and starts receiving texts from US and Canadian senders. No Canadian ID, address check or SIM delivery is involved, so there is nothing to wait for.

No — a TwinPhone Canadian number cannot dial 911 or any other emergency number, because TwinPhone is an internet calling service, not a phone line. Keep a mobile phone for emergencies. Ordinary numbers in Canada can be called from it at $0.02 a minute, the rate for calls to the US and Canada.

TwinPhone is billed by hrhelperg s.r.o., a company in Prague, so some banks treat the payment as foreign and block it. Turn on international online payments in your bank app, or pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or another card; many people get through on a second try within minutes.
