Run through these steps and you will be placing cheap calls from your iPad within minutes.

1. Sign Up

Open a Intercalling account in your iPad browser and confirm it through the verification email.

2. Grant Mic Access

Launch the web dialer and approve microphone access. Two-way audio depends on it.

3. Choose Caller ID

Pick a virtual number or set your outbound caller ID so contacts see the right phone number.

Best Browsers

On iPados, Safari delivers the steadiest WebRTC performance, though Chrome and Edge handle calls well too. Leave the tab open while you talk.

Plug in headphones or pair a Bluetooth headset to keep echo away. Check your mic and speaker on the settings page before any important call.

Where It Pays Off

Stable Connection

Stay on solid WiFi or LTE for the most stable calls.

Power Management

Keep the iPad charged on lengthy calls and turn off aggressive battery saver modes, since they can pause the browser.

Headset Recommended

A headset sharpens audio and stops the echo you get from the built in speaker and mic.

Secure Calls

Every call is encrypted and carried over enterprise grade infrastructure for privacy and dependable quality.

Questions People Ask

Can my iPad take incoming calls?

Yes. While you are signed in with the browser tab open, inbound calls reach your virtual number. Allow notifications if asked and keep the tab active for the best experience.

Is there anything to install?

No. Intercalling runs fully in the browser through WebRTC. Just open Safari or Chrome on your iPad and log in.

Will locking the screen cut off a call?

Certain iPad power saving options can freeze background tabs. To avoid drops, leave the screen on or use a connected headset, and stay off other apps while a call is live.

How is the call quality on iPad?

Great. With steady internet and a headset, you get HD audio on par with a regular phone line.

How to Use Your iPad as a Phone with Intercalling

In short

Yes, you can use an iPad as a phone by opening Intercalling in Safari or Chrome and calling straight from the browser. No app download, no SIM card, and no second phone are needed. Outbound calls require no phone number and are billed per minute, and you can add a US or Canada number for about $2.14 to $5 per month if you also want to receive incoming calls.

Make calls from an iPad with no app and no SIM

An iPad with Wi-Fi only has no cellular line, so it cannot place a normal phone call on its own. Intercalling solves this by running entirely in the browser. Open Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox on your iPad, enter the number, and the call connects over the internet. There is nothing to install from the App Store and no SIM card to insert.

Outbound calling is pay as you go and billed per minute, so you only pay for the time you actually talk. You do not need to own or rent a phone number to dial out, which makes the iPad a quick way to reach landlines and mobiles anywhere, including international numbers.

Receive calls on your iPad too

If you want people to call you on the iPad, add a dedicated US or Canada digital number for about $2.14 to $5 per month. Incoming calls then ring inside your browser tab while Intercalling is open, turning a Wi-Fi only iPad into a full two way phone without touching your real mobile number.

Private calling on a shared or Wi-Fi only iPad

Every call is end to end encrypted, which matters when the iPad is shared at home, in a classroom, or in an office. You keep your personal cell number private and route business or international calls through the browser instead. It works the same on a cellular iPad or a Wi-Fi only model as long as you have an internet connection.

Yes, if you add a US or Canada digital number for roughly $2.14 to $5 per month. Incoming calls then ring in your browser while Intercalling is open.
