What people ask

Do I need to download an app?+

No. CocoCall works directly in your browser — no downloads or installations needed. The person you're calling doesn't need anything either, they just answer their regular phone.

Does it work with my eSIM?+

Yes, perfectly. If you have a CocoRoam eSIM for data, you can use that data connection to make calls. WiFi works too — any internet connection.

How does billing work?+

You buy calling credit upfront (from £5). Minutes are deducted as you call — no monthly fee, credit doesn't expire. The only optional recurring cost is renting a virtual number.

Can people call me back?+

Yes — rent a virtual phone number in the UK (£3/mo), US or Canada (£1.95/mo). People call your virtual number like a normal phone and it rings in the app. Cancel any time. Receiving calls is a flat 2p/min from your CocoCall credit, regardless of where the caller is.

Is the call quality good?+

We use HD voice technology over the internet. With a decent connection (3G or better, or WiFi), call quality is comparable to or better than a regular phone call.

What about messaging?+

We're focused on voice calls first. For messaging, we recommend WhatsApp or iMessage over your CocoRoam data connection — they're free and work great.

First call free

Your first call is on us.

First minute free, no credit card required. Test the call quality before you ever pay.
