How to Call Without a SIM Card

Your SIM is blocked, lost, or doesn't work in the country you're in. Maybe you just never bought a local one. You can still make real phone calls, as long as you have Wi-Fi.

With 002call, you call from your browser over the internet. The call reaches any mobile or landline in 190+ countries, and your SIM isn't part of it.

Why a SIM isn't needed

A normal phone call goes through your mobile network, so it needs a working SIM. A browser call goes over the internet to 002call's phone carrier, which then rings the number for you. Your phone only needs a connection, not a mobile plan.

That means it works on:

  • A phone with no SIM, on Wi-Fi
  • A phone with a foreign SIM that has no roaming
  • A laptop or tablet, which never had a SIM in the first place

How to call without a SIM

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi. Hotel, café, airport or home Wi-Fi all work.
  2. Open the web dialer in your browser and create an account.
  3. Enter the number with its country code, such as +1 for the US or +61 for Australia.
  4. Check the rate, then press call. Let the browser use your microphone when it asks.

Every new user gets a free test call of up to one minute, so you can check it works first.

Emergency calls

002call can't call emergency numbers such as 911, 112 or 999. In many countries a phone can call the local emergency number even without a SIM, so try that from your phone's normal dialer.

When this helps

  • Your SIM was blocked or lost while you were travelling.
  • Your plan has no roaming, or roaming costs too much.
  • Your bank needs a call to unblock a card, and your phone can't make one. Our service number guides list the overseas numbers.
  • You're between phones and only have a laptop.
