For Android phones · Works with Claude
Claude can now use your phone.
Let Claude text and call for you, from your own number. Just ask, and it sends the text or dials the call on your Android phone.
Just ask.
Three steps.Then just ask.
- Get the app. Sign up with your email, subscribe, and download PhoneBridge onto your Android phone.
- Link your phone. Open the app and tap to link it to your account. It asks for permission to use texts, calls and contacts.
- Connect Claude. Add PhoneBridge to Claude by pasting one web address. We show you exactly where. Then ask: "Text me hello from Claude."
Setup takes about five minutes.
An Android phoneand Claude.
- An Android phone, Android 10 or newer. PhoneBridge doesn't work on iPhone.
- A Claude account.
- Your normal phone number and plan. Texts and calls go through your phone as usual, so your carrier's normal rates apply.
Say it the wayyou would.
- "Text Alice that I'm running 10 minutes late."
- "Reply to Sam: yes, see you Thursday at 3."
- "Call the dentist."
- "Did Mum text me back?"
- "Who called while I was in the meeting?"
Claude can't listen or speak on a call. It dials, answers or declines, and you do the talking.
The phonedecides.
- Texts and calls to people in your contacts go straight out. A contact that Claude just added still needs one tap from you first.
- Anyone not in your contacts needs a tap on your phone first, unless the phone denies that number. If you don't tap within a minute, nothing is sent.
- Texts and calls to premium-rate numbers, and to numbers in another country, are denied unless you allow them.
- There's a limit of 20 texts and 5 calls an hour.
- Your messages stay on your phone. PhoneBridge doesn't keep a copy of them.
- You can pause it from the app with one tap, and nothing gets through until you turn it back on.

Asked often.
Does it work on iPhone?
No. PhoneBridge needs an Android phone running Android 10 or newer. Apple doesn't let apps send texts or manage calls for you.
How do I set it up?
Sign up with your email, subscribe, and download the app to your phone. Open it and tap to link it to your account. Then add PhoneBridge to Claude by pasting the web address we give you, and pick your phone. Your account page walks you through each step, and it takes about five minutes.
Why isn't it in the Google Play store?
Google Play only allows apps that replace your texting or phone app to send texts. PhoneBridge works alongside your normal apps, so you download it from phonebridge.co. Android may show a warning when you install it, because it's a texting app from outside the Play store. The setup guide shows you what to tap.
Will texts come from my number?
Yes. Claude uses your phone, so texts and calls come from your own number and show up in your normal messages and call history.
Can Claude text anyone it wants?
Only people in your contacts go straight through. A contact that Claude just added still needs one tap. Anyone else needs you to tap Allow on your phone first, unless the phone denies that number. Premium-rate numbers, and numbers in another country, are denied unless you allow them. If a text you receive tries to tell Claude to do something, Claude is told to check with you first.
Can PhoneBridge read my messages?
No. Your messages stay on your phone. They pass through our service only while being delivered, and we don't store them.
What happens after I pay?
You come straight back to your account page, which walks you through downloading the app, linking your phone and connecting Claude.
How do I cancel?
Go to your account page and tap Manage billing. You can cancel there any time. If you come back later, your phone is still linked and works again as soon as you subscribe.
Does it drain my battery?
It's built to use very little battery while it waits.
