Callshake

What is Callshake?

Callshake is a browser-based communication service for making international calls and sending SMS without relying on a traditional carrier plan.

Optional US and Canadian numbers add incoming calls, voicemail, and forwarding, while teams can use recording and transcription for business conversations. It is positioned as a practical Skype alternative for travelers, remote workers, support teams, and internationally distributed businesses.
