How Phone Broadcasting Works
- 1
Get your broadcast number
Sign up and pick a local or toll-free phone number. This is the number your audience calls — and the number that calls them when you go live.
- 2
Connect your audio
Paste the same RTMP stream key you already use for YouTube or Facebook, broadcast live by simply calling in from any phone, or upload pre-recorded audio to schedule.
- 3
Your audience just answers
Subscribers get an automatic call the moment you're live; anyone else can dial in. Detailed logs show who listened, when, and for how long.

Phone Broadcasting FAQ
- What is phone broadcasting?
- Phone broadcasting sends live or pre-recorded audio to many telephones at once. With PhoneLive, listeners either receive an automatic call when your broadcast starts or dial your number to join — from any landline, flip phone, or smartphone, with no internet required.
- Do I need special software or hardware to broadcast by phone?
- No. If you already live stream to YouTube or Facebook, paste the same RTMP stream key into PhoneLive and you are done. You can also broadcast by simply calling in from any phone, or upload audio to schedule in advance. Everything runs in the cloud.
- Is there a free phone broadcasting option?
- Yes — PhoneLive offers a free trial, so you can set up your number, invite listeners, and run real broadcasts before paying. Plans then start with a simple monthly subscription; see the pricing page.
- How is this different from robocalls or mass texting?
- Robocalls deliver a short one-way recording, and texts require reading a screen. Phone broadcasting connects listeners to full-length live audio — a worship service, a meeting, a devotional — that they simply listen to like a phone call, for as long as it runs.
- How many people can listen to a phone broadcast at once?
- PhoneLive auto-scales in the cloud to hundreds of simultaneous listeners per broadcast, and it has connected more than 3 million calls and 47 million streamed minutes to date.
