Is a phone number needed before I can dial out?

No. You can place outbound calls and pay per minute without ever buying a number.

Can my browser take incoming calls?

Yes. To accept calls you add a personal US/Canada digital number priced from $2.14 to $5/month.

Do I need the Vonage adapter box or any hardware to switch?

No. Intercalling runs entirely in your web browser, so there is no adapter, no router box, no SIM card, and no app download. Any computer or phone with Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox works.

Can I receive calls like I did on my Vonage home line?

Yes, if you add a US or Canada digital number, which costs about $2.14 to $5 per month. Outbound calling alone needs no number, so you only pay for an inbound number if you want people to call you back.

How does the pricing compare to a Vonage for Home monthly plan?

Vonage for Home charges a flat monthly fee whether you call or not. Intercalling outbound calls are pay as you go and billed per minute, so light callers and households that mainly call internationally often pay less than a fixed bundle.

Is Intercalling good for the international calls I used my home phone for?

Yes. Intercalling is built for international calling and bills per minute with end to end encryption, which often makes it a cheaper and more flexible way to reach overseas family than a traditional home line.
