Can I call a regular phone number from a browser?
Yes. You use the browser for the part you see: sign in, enter the number, choose caller ID, check the rate, and speak through your microphone. Talkala then connects the call to the phone network so an ordinary mobile or landline abroad can ring.
What you need to make a browser call
You do not need a separate desktop calling program, calling card, or mobile carrier add-on. The setup is closer to joining a browser meeting, except the other end is a real phone number.
Microphone permission
Your browser asks for microphone access before the other person can hear you. If access is blocked, the call cannot work properly.
Enough wallet balance
Before a paid call starts, Talkala checks that your prepaid balance can cover the minimum amount needed for that call.
How to call a phone number from your browser
The important details appear before the call connects, so you can decide whether the call is worth placing.
Enter the phone number
Type or paste the number you want to call. Talkala helps put it into international format before trying the call.
Review the rate
The dialer shows the per-minute rate and the minimum balance needed to start. Landline and mobile pricing can differ by country.
Place the call
When you press call, the browser handles your audio and Talkala connects the call to the real phone number.
Making and receiving calls from the browser
You can use Talkala for the calls you make from the browser. With a personal Talkala number, people can also call you back there. They call your Talkala number, it rings in Talkala while the tab is open, and you answer from the browser instead of your personal phone.
Calls you make
Enter the number, check the rate, and call a real mobile or landline from Talkala.
Calls people make back
When someone calls your personal Talkala number, it can ring in your browser while Talkala is open.
One browser tab
Talkala needs to be open in your browser to ring. If you are waiting for a call back, keep the tab open.

- Incoming calls work for personal Talkala numbers first. Incoming calls for teams are planned for later.
- Voicemail, call forwarding, phone push alerts, and emergency calling are not included.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I call a phone number online without installing an app?
Yes. You call from the browser, so there is no separate desktop app or calling program to install for the current calling flow.
Does the person I call need to use Talkala?
No. Talkala connects to the regular phone network, so the other person answers on their normal mobile or landline.
Can I receive phone calls in the browser?
Yes, when receiving is set up for your personal Talkala number. When someone calls that number, it can ring in your browser while Talkala is open.
Will I be charged by my mobile carrier?
The Talkala call charge comes from your prepaid Talkala balance. Your internet plan may still count the data used by the browser call.
