Calling on Ferry

It's a phone.
A real one.

Rings like a normal call.

On iPhone, Ferry calls come in on the native call screen, just like any other call. Answer from the lock screen.

Call from any screen.

Dial from iPhone, Android, your browser or your computer. Same number and same call history on all of them.

Clear calls over Wi-Fi or data.

Ferry calls run over Wi-Fi or mobile data, wherever you are in the world. No SIM, no store visit.

Every call, recorded and summed up.

Each call lands in your log with its recording, a transcript and a short summary of what was said.

Why we're called Ferry

The last leg was a ferry.

Through the twentieth century, millions of people came to North America from every corner of the world. For many of them, the last stretch of a very long journey was a short ferry ride across a harbor.

They stepped off with a trunk, an address on a scrap of paper and a plan. Then they got to work. The bakeries, railways, laboratories and neighborhoods they built became the place itself.

The crossing is shorter now. Your first step into North America can be a phone number: a way for customers to reach you and for new work to find you, from wherever you are today.

We carry you the last short stretch.

Minutes count calls in both directions. Yearly plans get the whole year's minutes and texts up front; monthly plans reset each month.

Extra lines are $4.49 a month for one, $9.00 for two or $13.49 for three, and share your plan's minutes and texts.

If you run out, calls and texts still come in. You can upgrade to keep calling out.

Calls go to U.S., Canadian and U.K. numbers. Texts go to U.S. and Canadian numbers.

Before you board

Questions.

More answers on the Support page.

Where do the numbers come from?

You pick a number in the United States or Canada, by city or area code, and you can use it from anywhere with an internet connection. It is a real number that anyone can call or text. It is an internet number rather than a SIM, so some services may not accept it for sign-up codes.

Can I call the UK?

Yes. Calls to UK landlines and mobiles are included and count against your plan's minutes. Premium-rate numbers aren't available.

Are calls recorded? Do I need consent?

Yes, calls are recorded so Ferry can transcribe and summarize them. Some U.S. states require everyone on a call to agree to recording, so by default each call starts with a short announcement: "This call is recorded." Both sides hear it. You can turn the announcement off, except where the law requires everyone's consent, where it always stays on. If you turn it off, getting consent is up to you.

Can I keep my number?

Your Ferry number is yours while your subscription is active. Bringing an existing number into Ferry isn't available yet.

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days free with 30 call minutes included. If you cancel during the trial, you aren't charged.

Which languages do transcripts work in?

English, for now. Transcripts and summaries are written for calls in English.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions, or in Settings > Plan if you pay on the web. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

What happens to my recordings?

We never sell your data. How recordings and transcripts are processed is set out in our Privacy Policy.
