Does it work in Germany?

Yes. Internet calling apps are widely used in Germany. The US number works on any mobile data (Telekom, Vodafone, O2 or others) and on any Wi-Fi.

Calls to your US number are included and reach you over the internet, so there are no roaming charges (fair use 300 minutes a month).

You can call US and Canadian numbers with it (300 minutes a month included). It cannot call German numbers or other countries.

What is the time difference with the US?

How far ahead Berlin is of the main US time zones:

US city	US summer time	US winter time
New York	6 hours ahead	6 hours ahead
Chicago	7 hours ahead	7 hours ahead
Los Angeles	9 hours ahead	9 hours ahead

When it is 9:00 in New York, it is 15:00 in Berlin in US winter and 15:00 in US summer.

Europe and the US change their clocks on different dates, so for a few weeks in March and in October or November the gap is one hour smaller.

Your afternoon overlaps with the US East Coast morning, which makes 14:00 to 18:00 the easiest time for calls with New York. The West Coast starts work around your early evening.

How can I pay from Germany?

You are charged in US dollars: $100 a year or $12.99 a month. Your bank converts it to euros and may charge a fee for card payments in a foreign currency.
Pay with a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A girocard alone cannot be used for this payment.
PayPal, SEPA direct debit and bank transfer are not accepted for the US Number. You can also pay in USDT (TRC20).
You can cancel the renewal anytime in the app. Where a withdrawal right applies, you lose it once the number is delivered, because you ask us to start straight away.

What can the US number not do?

You can receive texts from US and Canadian senders. Sending texts is not included.
WhatsApp and the popular apps we tested send their codes to it, but some banks and a few services refuse internet numbers, so we cannot guarantee every service.
It cannot call 911 or any emergency service. Use a local mobile line in an emergency.
