Call My Phone for Free
Calling your own phone sounds strange until you need to do it. Maybe your phone slipped between the couch cushions, or you just switched carriers and want to confirm your new number actually works. Whatever the reason, HelloAirDial lets you ring your phone directly from any browser. Once you sign in, you can place as many unanswered calls as you like without paying anything. Your first active call is also free for up to 1 minute should anyone pick up. Each call rings for 75 seconds, which is usually plenty of time to track down a misplaced device or verify that your number is working properly.
Why Would You Call Your Own Phone?
The most common reason is when you cannot find your phone. It might be wedged between couch cushions, buried in a bag, left in another room, or hidden under a pile of papers. In such a scenario, the fastest solution is often to make it ring. The sound leads you directly to it without having to search every room in your house.
Beyond finding a lost device, there are several practical reasons to call your own number:
- •Verify a new carrier setup: After switching providers or porting your number, one incoming call confirms everything is routing correctly.
- •Test a new device: When you buy a new phone or replace a SIM card, calling yourself ensures the cellular connection is working.
- •Check your ringtone volume: A ringtone that sounds clear in a quiet room might be inaudible in a noisy office or outdoors.
- •Confirm repairs worked: After getting your phone serviced, a quick call verifies the speaker and cellular antenna are functioning.
HelloAirDial makes this simple. You do not need to borrow someone else's phone or use a separate service. Just open the website in any browser, sign in, enter your number, and your phone starts ringing within seconds. Signed-in users can ring their phone as many times as needed without any charges. Your first active call is also free for up to 1 minute should anyone pick up. Each call rings for 75 seconds, which is usually plenty of time to locate a misplaced device.
Common Scenarios for Calling Your Own Phone
Lost in the house
Your phone is somewhere in your home but you cannot remember where you left it. Rather than checking every room, make it ring and follow the sound.
Left in the car
You suspect your phone slid under a seat or fell into a door pocket. Calling it from inside the car helps pinpoint exactly where it ended up.
New carrier or number port
After switching providers or transferring your number, call yourself to verify that incoming calls reach your phone without any issues.
Testing ringtone volume
Hear how loud your ringtone actually is from across a room before you rely on it during an important meeting or event.
After phone repairs
If your phone was recently repaired or the screen was replaced, a quick call confirms the cellular connection and speaker are working properly.
Buried in a bag
Deep inside a backpack, purse, or gym bag, your phone can be impossible to find by feel. A ringing phone makes itself known immediately.

Find Your Phone or Confirm the Connection
Follow the sound of your ringtone to find your phone, or pick up to confirm the number is receiving calls. If you answer, you will hear the browser connection on the other end.
Note: HelloAirDial works on any device with a modern web browser and internet connection. You can place the call from a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or even another phone. The call connects through WebRTC, which is supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Since you only need the receiving phone to ring, you do not need high-quality audio on the calling end.

Troubleshooting
⚠️Your phone does not ring
Double-check that you entered the correct number with the right country code. If the number is correct, your phone might be powered off, in airplane mode, or have call blocking enabled for unknown numbers. Try disabling any spam call filtering temporarily.
⚠️The call ends before you find your phone
The call runs for 75 seconds before disconnecting. If that is not enough time, simply place another call. Since this is for personal use, you likely only need one or two attempts to narrow down the location.
⚠️Your phone is on silent and you cannot hear it
Most phones still ring for incoming calls even when notification sounds are muted. Check if your phone has a separate toggle for ringer volume versus notification volume. On iPhone, the physical switch on the side controls ringer. On Android, check that your ringer volume in settings is not at zero.
⚠️The browser asks for microphone permission
The call requires microphone access to establish the two-way connection, even if you only need the phone to ring. Allow the permission when prompted. You do not have to speak into the microphone for the call to work.
⚠️The call shows as spam or gets blocked
Some phones automatically filter unknown numbers. If your call is not coming through, temporarily disable any spam call filtering or add the incoming number to your contacts after the first attempt.

- 💡You can place the call from any browser, including the web browser on a smart TV in a pinch

Can I call my phone if it is on silent?
