How to Get a US Phone Number in India (2026)
Get a US phone number from India with HashPhone. Compare rupee prices on iPhone and Android, setup steps, and what you can use the number for.
Quick answer
Yes, you can get a US phone number in India with a second-number app that works over Wi-Fi or mobile data. HashPhone is available on the Indian App Store and Google Play, and on the App Store it costs ₹299 a week, ₹699 a month, or ₹2,499 a year. Your Indian SIM keeps working as normal. A US number will not replace it for Indian banking or government services.
Maybe your family in the US would like to call a local number. Maybe you freelance for American clients, or you are tired of giving your personal number to every US website. Whatever the reason, you do not need a US SIM card or a trip to America.
Availability of popular US number apps in India
Search for a US number app and you will see the same names again and again. Several of them are hard to get from India:
- Google Voice: Google says personal Voice numbers can only be used in the US.
- Burner: its help center says your main number must be from the US, Canada, or Australia.
- TextNow, Hushed, and Text Free: we could not find any of them in the Indian App Store on November 9, 2026.
Availability can change, and Google Play can differ, so check your own store before you decide.
How a US number works from India
A second-number app gives you a real US number and connects it to the app on your phone. Calls and texts travel over the internet. Someone in the US simply calls or texts a normal US number, with no international plan and no special app needed.
You choose the area code, for example a New York 212 number or one from the city where your clients or relatives live.

Prices on Google Play in India are a little higher, for example ₹790 a month or ₹2,800 a year. Every plan includes unlimited talk and text with no ads. Calls and texts run on your Wi-Fi or mobile data, so there are no international call charges for US contacts reaching you on your US number.

What people in India use a US number for
Family in the US. Relatives can call or text you like any local contact.
Freelance and remote work. US clients get a familiar number, and your personal number stays off proposals and invoices.
US forms and applications. Many US sites will not accept a number with +91 in their phone field. Whether a specific site accepts your US number is up to that site.
Keeping your personal number private. Use the US number for signups and new contacts.
What a US number cannot do
- It does not replace your Indian SIM. Expect Aadhaar, UPI, and Indian banks to keep using your Indian mobile number.
- It is not proof of US residence. Services that need a US address, bank account, or tax details will still ask for them.
- It is meant for US and Canadian contacts. HashPhone's coverage is built around US and Canadian numbers, so keep your Indian SIM or WhatsApp for people in India.
- It needs internet. Calls and texts come through when you have Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Calls, texts, and verification messages
HashPhone supports one-to-one calls, regular SMS, and verification-code messages. Use your US number for personal conversations and signups while keeping your Indian number separate. Our guides to a second number for WhatsApp and VoIP numbers and verification codes go deeper.
