US clients and remote jobs

IT freelancers, agencies and remote workers give US clients a US number to call, and call back with 300 included minutes a month.

Family in the US

With family in the US, a US number means they call you with a normal US call, not an international one.

Students going to the US

Get a US number before you fly, for university, housing and US app sign-ups. Your Indian number stays for your bank and family.

WhatsApp Business for US customers

Run a separate WhatsApp Business account on a US number for American customers, while your personal WhatsApp stays on your Indian number.

How do I set up WhatsApp on a US number?

It takes about 10 minutes, and your usual WhatsApp can stay exactly as it is.

1
Pay and pass the ID check
Choose the yearly or monthly plan, pay, and do the short ID check (photo ID + selfie) in the TripoSIM app.
2
Choose your number
Pick a US state or area code in the app. Your number is set up straight away.
3
Open WhatsApp Business
Keep your usual WhatsApp on your local number and use WhatsApp Business for the US number. Both apps work side by side on one phone.
4
Enter your number with +1
Choose United States (+1), type your 10-digit US number and ask for the code by SMS. The code shows up in the TripoSIM app under Texts.
5
Protect it
In WhatsApp, turn on two-step verification (Settings › Account) and set a PIN. Keep your plan active: a released number can go to someone else.

Keep your Indian WhatsApp for UPI alerts, family and banks, and use WhatsApp Business on the US number for US contacts. Both work side by side on one phone.

WhatsApp last sent its code to a TripoSIM US number in our tests on October 18, 2026.

Does it work on Indian networks?

The US number works over the internet, so it does not depend on your network. Jio, Airtel, Vi or BSNL mobile data, or home broadband Wi-Fi, all work. Use good Wi-Fi for important calls, because call quality depends on your connection.

Calling apps are widely used in India. Please follow local rules on internet calling where you use the app.

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

What is the time difference with the US?

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

US city	US summer time	US winter time
New York	9 hours, 30 minutes ahead	10 hours, 30 minutes ahead
Chicago	10 hours, 30 minutes ahead	11 hours, 30 minutes ahead
Los Angeles	12 hours, 30 minutes ahead	13 hours, 30 minutes ahead

When it is 9:00 in New York, it is 19:30 in Mumbai in US winter and 18:30 in US summer.

India has a half-hour gap with the US. US mornings are your evening and US afternoons are your night, so let night calls go to voicemail: you get an alert in the app and by email.

How can I pay with an Indian card?

You are charged in US dollars: $100 a year or $12.99 a month. Your bank converts it to rupees and may add a foreign-currency markup.
Switch on international online payments for your debit or credit card in your bank app. Many Indian cards have this off by default.
Renewals can need your approval: Indian rules on card renewals mean your bank may ask you to approve the renewal, or the automatic renewal may not go through. Check the app before your renewal date so your number does not lapse.
UPI and net banking are not accepted for the US Number. You can also pay in USDT (TRC20) for one month or one year; a plan paid in USDT does not renew by itself.

What can the US number not do?

Calls out reach US and Canadian numbers only. You cannot call local numbers or other countries with it.
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.
Calls and texts need internet and the TripoSIM app, with notifications and the microphone allowed.
If your plan ends, the number is kept for 30 days (90 days on the monthly plan) and then released. Keep the plan active while WhatsApp runs on it.
