Pay as you go from the monthly price shown above, or pick a plan with incoming texts and minutes included (unused ones roll over). The carrier's one-time activation fee is passed on as is. Outgoing calls to US numbers are 0.6¢ a minute and texts within the US and Canada 1¢ each, from your balance.

Some apps and banks refuse VoIP numbers for sign-up codes. For those, use SMS Verification, which gives you real mobile (non-VoIP) numbers.

No. Calls and texts work in any modern browser on a computer or phone. Allow microphone access once and you can make and take calls.
