Step by step

Steps

  1. Open App calls

    On the Calls tab tap Open app calls, or open Settings, then App calls. Team members tap App calls on My jobs.

  2. Save your person

    Under Add a person, enter their name and choose Email for their RaimCalls sign-in email, or Phone for a number they verified in RaimCalls, including + and the country code. Tap Add contact.

  3. Tap Audio or Video

    Tap Audio or Video beside their name. Their app rings and vibrates, and you hear it ringing until they tap Answer or Decline.

  4. Talk

    Video calls start on the speaker and audio calls on the earpiece; tap Speaker to switch. Mute your microphone, turn your camera on or off, or tap Switch camera. Stay on the call page: leaving it, or the app, ends the call, and Back asks first.

  5. Keep an eye on the time

    Each call room lasts up to 15 minutes from creation, including connection time. A timer shows, with a warning 2 minutes 30 seconds before the end; start a new call to keep talking.

  6. Or invite with a link

    Under Invite with a link, choose Audio or Video, create the invitation and tap Share invitation. Send it only to the person you want to call, then come back and join. They open the link or paste it into Join an invitation. Both of you must join within 5 minutes.

Answering is always free. Only the person who starts the call needs an active plan with shared usage left, and that plan covers both people. Both people need their own signed-in account and RaimCalls open on screen: incoming app calls don’t ring while the app is closed or in the background.

Not ringing? In App calls, open Call setup and tap Check call setup to check the calling service and your microphone and camera permissions. It doesn’t start a call, and it doesn’t confirm that audio or video will work.

FAQ

Related questions

How do I audio or video call another RaimCalls user?

Open App calls on the Calls tab or in Settings. Under Add a person, enter their name and their RaimCalls sign-in email, or a phone number they verified in RaimCalls. Tap Add contact, then Audio or Video beside their name. Their app rings and they can Answer or Decline.

Is answering an app call free?

Yes, always. Answering an app call or joining an invitation needs no plan. The plan of the person who starts the call covers both people.

Do I have to verify my phone number?

No. People can save your RaimCalls sign-in email and call you that way. If you prefer your number, open My calling number, enter + and your country code, and verify the code from the text. It doesn't change how you sign in or give you a business phone line.

Why didn't an incoming app call appear?

Both people must be signed in and keep RaimCalls open on screen. An incoming app call rings and shows over whatever is open in RaimCalls, but it doesn't ring when the app is closed or in the background.

How long can an app call last?

Each call room lasts up to 15 minutes from when it's created, including time spent connecting. The call screen counts the time and warns you 2 minutes and 30 seconds before the end; start a new call to keep talking.

Are app calls recorded?

No. RaimCalls doesn't record or transcribe app calls, audio or video. The person you call can see your calling name and your sign-in email or verified number.

How do I stop someone calling me?

On an incoming app call, choose Block caller. You can review Blocked people and tap Unblock later. Report opens your email app with the call's details for RaimCalls support.

How are app calls different from phone calls?

App calls go between two RaimCalls apps over the internet, not over a phone number. Calls to and from phone numbers, like your business line or Call for me, are separate and use your plan's AI calls and voice minutes.
