Do I need to download an app to use Kinvo?

No. Kinvo works entirely in your browser using WebRTC technology. Just sign up, add credits, and start calling. It works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on any device with a microphone.

How does the Kinvo credit system work?

Buy credits in preset amounts ($5, $10, $20, $50, or $100) or a custom amount. Each call deducts credits based on the per-minute rate for that country plus a $0.05 connection fee (only charged when the call is answered). Credits never expire. Larger packs include bonus credits: $20 pack gets +$1, $50 gets +$5, $100 gets +$15.

What countries can I call with Kinvo?

Kinvo supports calls to over 150 countries including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, and most of Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Both landline and mobile numbers are supported.

Is Kinvo call quality good?

Yes. Kinvo uses WebRTC with HD voice codecs for crystal clear audio. All calls are encrypted end-to-end. Call quality is typically better than traditional phone calls, with real-time quality indicators showing latency and packet loss.

Can I use my own phone number as caller ID on Kinvo?

Yes. You can verify your personal phone number through Kinvo's caller ID feature, and recipients will see your real number when you call. You can also purchase virtual phone numbers in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

Do Kinvo credits expire?

Dial the remaining local number
Enter the area code (if applicable) and the subscriber number. The complete international number should look like this: +1 416 123 4567
