Step 1: Download and Install the App

  • Go to keep-my-number.com and download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

  • Install it on the phone you’ll use while abroad.

Step 2: Register Your Original Number

  • Open the app and follow the onboarding process.

  • Register your current (home country) phone number – this is the number you'll continue to receive calls on.

Step 3: Verify and Activate

  • You’ll receive a verification code via SMS or call to your original number.

  • Enter it into the app to complete setup.

Step 4: Travel and Insert a Local SIM (Optional)

  • Once you arrive in your destination country, insert a local SIM or activate a local eSIM for data and cheaper local calls.

  • You do not need to keep your original SIM inserted.

Step 5: Stay Connected to the Internet

  • Make sure your phone has Wi-Fi or mobile data. The app uses this connection to route incoming calls to your original number.

Step 6: Receive Calls Normally

When someone dials your original number, the call is forwarded to your KeepMyNumber app, and you’ll receive it like a regular call.
