How does PhoneLive reach people who do not have internet?

PhoneLive streams your live audio to ordinary phone lines, so anyone with a landline, flip phone, or cell phone can listen without internet, an app, or a smartphone. It turns your online broadcast into a simple phone call.

Who benefits from a phone-based broadcast?

Shut-ins, rural residents, seniors, and anyone with unreliable internet can stay connected. Churches use it to reach homebound and offline members, and local governments use it to give offline residents access to public meetings.

Do listeners need to install anything or learn new technology?

No. Listeners either answer an automatic call when your broadcast starts or dial your dedicated number themselves. There is nothing to download and nothing to learn.

Does our organization need special hardware to broadcast?

No. PhoneLive runs entirely in the cloud and works with the streaming setup you already use, such as OBS, Boxcast, Resi, Zoom, StreamYard, and vMix. You connect your existing stream and PhoneLive carries the audio to phones.

How many offline listeners can join a single broadcast?

The platform scales in the cloud to hundreds of simultaneous callers per broadcast, so you can reach a large offline audience at the same time.

How quickly can we get started?

You can activate a free 30-day sandbox with no credit card required. Setup usually takes about 15 minutes and only needs a cell number to begin.

"Faithful saints can still enjoy church. One listener in assisted living has her friends join her every Sunday. Others who cannot drive still can make it to church. Our audience is growing, and Gospel is not being hindered."
