Serendipitous voice chat.

Dialup is a voice-chat app that connects you to people in surprising ways. Try it for free on iOS or Android.

“Reclaiming a bit of personal connection in a disconnected world.”
— Dorothy Santos, KQED

“When I hung up, I felt transported.”
— Devi Lockwood, The New York Times

How does Dialup work?

Automatic calls.

Get recurring calls with people you want to meet. Whether it's discussing what book you’re reading or what you’re making for breakfast, Dialup will ring your phones on an automated schedule and pair you randomly in a one-on-one conversation.

Deeper connections.

Meet people based on your particular interests. Want an opportunity to discuss sci-fi writing with a stranger on a Thursday afternoon? You might match with each other in a call.

Opt-in only.

You’ll always know it’s a call from Dialup. When you pick up a call, on the other end is someone you’ve been meaning to talk to or someone you might want to meet. We use custom caller IDs instead of phone numbers to make it obvious. Dialup restores some of the social spaces we have lost.

“Surprising, magical. A deeply human side of tech.”
— Jonathan, entrepreneur

“It feels like opening a surprise gift or a box of chocolates”
— Maja, experience designer
