If you want to make a phone call from a computer, there are types you can choose from.

  • App to phone calls.

App to Phone Calls

There are also two types you can choose from. one is to use an independent app to make phone calls from a computer. In this way, you need to install phone call apps on your computer first, such as Google Voice, Skype, and Viber. I use Skype as an example.

  1. Search for Skype on your computer. If your computer doesn’t have one, you need to download and install it first.
  2. Then you need to buy a call package. The package price is different among the apps, but all of them are cheaper than a mobile phone plan.
  3. Once done, you can make phone calls from Skype to others.
  4. But if you want to allow other people to call you on Skype from their mobile or landline. You need to have a Skype number. The Skype number is a monthly paid phone number.

The other type is to connect your phone to a computer by app, such as Phone Link. This can use some functions of your mobile phone on your PC.

Tip: You need to log in to your Microsoft account on your PC and make sure your phone and PC are on the same Wi-fi network.
  • If your device is running on Windows 10 or 11, then Phone Link is already preinstalled.
  • Open the Phone Link app on your computer and click Android or iPhone according to your phone type.
  • Then you need to input your phone number and click Send. There will be a QR code on your computer screen.
  • After that, your phone will receive a message with a link. Copy the link to the browser and navigate to Google Play. Then click Install to install this app on your phone.
