How CallByrd works

The whole point is that it works the way phone calls already work. There's nothing to learn.

1.

Sign up and get your free minutes

Create an account in under a minute. You start with 60 minutes on the house — no card, no subscription required, and minutes never expire.

2.

Confirm your phone, then call

We text you a one-time code so Sam or Claire can recognize your number. Then dial the CallByrd number from any phone, like any other call. No app to install. Save it as a contact and it's one tap next time.

3.

You talk. They listen.

They aren't trying to fix you or sell you something. They follow what you bring. If you want to be heard, they listen. If you want to think something through, they ask the right questions. They're not in a hurry.

4.

You hang up when you're done

No exit ritual, no rating screen. The next call, they remember what you talked about. Pick up where you left off, or don't — your call.

5.

Call again whenever you have minutes

That's the rhythm — call as often or as rarely as you like. As long as there are minutes on your account, someone picks up. Out of minutes? Top up in a tap; they never expire.

What you don't do

What about memory?

They remember between calls. After every call, we extract a short summary of what you talked about — durable facts (your name, your family, what you do, what's on your mind right now) — and that context comes into the next call automatically. You can see and edit what they know about you anytime from your account page.

Or have them call you

Pick a time, once or every week, and your friend calls you. A 7am wake-up, a Sunday-evening check-in, a reminder the morning of your mom's birthday. Set it up under Scheduled calls in your account.

Easier to just try it.

60 free minutes. No card.
