Make phone calls on your web browser

Who says you need a desk phone or cell phone to make a phone call? With Dialpad, you can make a phone call from a web browser. Sign up for a free trial to get a phone number in minutes!

How to make and receive a phone call straight from your web browser

With Dialpad, you don’t need to download a calling app to phone someone—you can just click to make VoIP-based browser calls!

All you need to do is make sure you’re logged into Dialpad in your web browser. You can use the Chrome plugin or extension, Firefox, or any other browser. From there, you can click-to-call. As the name suggests, you can use this technology to make calls by clicking on a button or phone number within your browser. For example, if you see a call button on a company’s web page or someone’s phone number in an email in your Chrome browser, you can click or right-click on that phone number to make a call.

Not just a cloud business phone system

Dialpad gives you more than just phone calls. You can also have video meetings and send instant + SMS/MMS messages from your computer or mobile phone—or just use a web browser, of course!
