Welcome to LimePhone

This page gives you a quick tour of what LimePhone is, what you can do with it, and what to check before your first call.

What is LimePhone?

LimePhone is an AI-powered business phone platform. You get virtual phone numbers (local and toll-free, in 25+ countries), calling and SMS/MMS from any browser or device, an AI Receptionist that answers calls for you, and a REST API for building your own integrations. Everything runs from the web app at dashboard.limephone.io.

With LimePhone you can:

  • Make and receive calls in your browser with the web dialer, or forwarded to your own phone. (An Android app is also available.)

  • Send and receive SMS/MMS from the Inboxes section in the sidebar — each of your numbers has its own inbox — and run bulk SMS campaigns (available on higher plans).

  • Let the AI Receptionist answer, screen, and route calls when you can't.

  • Keep every call in Call Logs with recordings, transcripts, and notes.

  • Organize the people you talk to in Contacts, and invite teammates to share your numbers (Settings → Members).

  • Track usage in Analytics (on eligible plans) and automate with Webhooks and the API.

  • Find anything fast with Search in the sidebar, and catch missed activity in the Activity bell (your notification center).

Common uses

Personal: a second number that keeps your personal one private, separate lines for work and life, a local number while traveling, cheaper international calling.

Business: a dedicated customer-support line, numbers per team or campaign for call tracking, call forwarding across a remote team, toll-free numbers, business texting, and a switchboard/IVR front door for your company.

Prohibited use

LimePhone may not be used for:

  • Receiving OTP / verification codes. Virtual numbers often can't receive bank or 2FA one-time passwords, and LimePhone does not support this use.

  • Spam or cold-call dialing. Sales cold calling, call-center dialing, high-volume automated calling, and any spam or fraudulent use are against our fair-usage policy and can lead to suspension or termination.

Other limits to know

  • Emergency services: virtual numbers may not work with emergency calling (911/999).

  • US texting: sending SMS in the United States requires 10DLC registration (Settings → Trust center). Unregistered US traffic is filtered by carriers.

  • KYC: depending on the country, you may need to provide identity or business documents before a number is issued (Settings → Trust center).

  • Call recording: may require the other party's consent depending on jurisdiction — check your local regulations.

  • Porting and international calls can be subject to carrier and regulatory restrictions.

System requirements

  • Use a modern Chrome or Edge browser — Safari and Firefox are not supported for calling.

  • Allow microphone access when the browser asks.

  • Use a stable internet connection; for the best call quality, prefer wired or strong Wi-Fi and a router that supports QoS. See the Troubleshooting section for network speed and audio-setup details.
