Your PaidLine Number
Can I forward my PaidLine number internationally?
Updated
1 min read
PaidLine routes calls through U.S. infrastructure to ensure consistent call quality, accurate billing, and regulatory compliance. International forwarding adds complexity in all three areas, so we're treating it as a future-state feature rather than shipping it half-built.
What works today
- Receiving international calls: works perfectly. International callers can dial your U.S. PaidLine number from anywhere — see Can I receive calls from international callers?
- Forwarding to U.S. numbers: any verified U.S. number you own — mobile, landline, VoIP. See How do I set or change my call-forwarding number?
What's not yet supported
Forwarding to a non-U.S. phone number (e.g. a UK mobile or a French landline). The Manage Numbers screen won't accept a non-U.S. number as a forwarding destination.
The workaround for frequent travelers
If you spend significant time abroad but still want PaidLine calls to reach you:
- Set up a virtual U.S. phone number — Google Voice, OpenPhone, or similar services. These can ring on your phone (or via an app) wherever you are in the world.
- Forward PaidLine to that virtual U.S. number. PaidLine sees a valid U.S. forwarding destination; the virtual provider handles the international leg.
- Answer normally via the virtual provider's app, anywhere you have Wi-Fi or data.
Call quality depends on the virtual provider and your connectivity abroad — test before relying on it for paid calls.
