Short answer

People and small businesses outside the US use a US virtual number when US clients, customers, family, offices or apps need to reach them on a +1 number. The TripoSIM number runs in an app over Wi-Fi or data, includes 300 minutes a month of calls to the US and Canada, receives US texts and verification codes, and costs $100 a year.

Do you work with US clients or customers?

A +1 number on your website, proposals and invoices, answered in an app wherever you are.

Do you live outside the US but still need a US line?

Stay reachable by people, offices and apps in the US after you move.

Are you moving, studying or traveling?

One US number that stays the same while your location changes.

What is the same in every case?

  • Calls in: anyone can call your +1 number, and you answer in the TripoSIM app or get a voicemail.
  • Calls out: 300 minutes a month to US and Canadian numbers, on the yearly plan ($100) or monthly ($12.99).
  • Texts: texts from US and Canadian senders and verification codes from apps arrive in the app. Sending texts is not included.
  • More than one line: one person can have as many US numbers as they like, each with its own plan, so you can keep work, personal or each business apart.
  • Limits: no 911 or emergency calls, personal and small-business use only, and it needs an internet connection.
