How to Call Someone Without a Phone Number in Canada
Use an internet calling tool that doesn't need a number. You can talk using only a browser and an internet connection.
Your options
Browser calling needs no number. Other apps may require a number to register. A prepaid SIM also works, but it means buying and activating a plan.
You can test this yourself with GhostCall's browser calling.
Good for newcomers
If you've just arrived and don't have a Canadian SIM yet, you can still talk to employers, landlords and family over Wi-Fi.
Keep it safe
Share only the details a situation needs. Be careful with unsolicited calls claiming to be from government or bank staff.
Make a call without creating an account
GhostCall lets you start a voice call from your browser with no sign-up and no phone number.
Common questions
Can I get a Canadian number this way?
No. Number-free calling doesn't assign you a number.
Can I call a landlord this way?
Only if they can join online. It doesn't dial ordinary phone numbers.
Does it work without a SIM?
Yes, over Wi-Fi.
