Good to Know

What to Know

WIGGWIGG numbers work differently than a traditional SIM card

Additional number, not a replacement SIM

WIGGWIGG numbers are an extra line on top of your existing phone, not a SIM replacement. Receive in the WIGGWIGG iOS/Android app, or forward to any phone you already have.

Emergency Services (E911)

Real 911 service on every WIGGWIGG number, free, with an encrypted emergency address registered with the carrier for 911 routing. Critical emergencies are still best handled from your primary phone (real-time GPS). See how E911 works on WIGGWIGG.

Forwarded calls use your plan minutes

If you choose to forward calls to your existing phone, those count as incoming calls on your primary plan. If you have unlimited incoming calls (most Canadian plans do), there's no extra charge from your carrier. Receiving in the WIGGWIGG app uses internet, not minutes.

What You Need

Requirements for using WIGGWIGG phone numbers

WIGGWIGG App or a Phone to Forward To

WIGGWIGG Account

Free account, just create an identity to get started. Add a phone number to that identity to start calling and texting.

Internet for the App or Web

Common Questions About WIGGWIGG Phone Numbers

Do WIGGWIGG phone numbers require internet?

It depends on how you set it up. If you receive in the WIGGWIGG iOS/Android app or web dashboard, you need WiFi or cellular data. If you forward incoming calls to your existing phone, they reach you over the cell network with no internet needed (incoming SMS forward to mobile only). For sending, you always use the WIGGWIGG mobile app or web dashboard, which require internet.

Can people tell the difference between my WIGGWIGG number and a regular number?

No. WIGGWIGG phone numbers are real Canadian phone numbers that work exactly like any other number. They show up as regular phone numbers on caller ID. No one can tell the difference.

What happens if my forwarding phone is unavailable?

If you've set up forwarding and your forwarding phone is off, out of service, or busy, incoming calls fall back to your WIGGWIGG voicemail (if the voicemail add-on is enabled). You can check voicemail messages (with transcription) in your dashboard. If you receive in the WIGGWIGG app instead, the call rings the app on whatever device you're signed in on.

Can I use WIGGWIGG numbers for two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Yes! WIGGWIGG phone numbers can receive SMS verification codes for two-factor authentication. You'll receive the codes in the WIGGWIGG app or web dashboard.

Do forwarded calls use my phone plan minutes?

Yes. When calls forward to your phone, they use your carrier's minutes just like any incoming call. If you have unlimited incoming calls (most Canadian plans do), there's no additional charge from your carrier. You only pay WIGGWIGG's per-minute rate for the forwarding service.

Can I call 911 or emergency services?

Yes. E911 is included free with every WIGGWIGG number; 911 is never blocked. For critical emergencies, dial 911 from your primary phone whenever possible (real-time GPS to dispatchers).

Can I change my forwarding number?

Yes! You can change your forwarding destination anytime in your WIGGWIGG dashboard. Forward to a different cell phone, landline, or even another VoIP number, whatever works best for you.

Can I port my existing phone number to WIGGWIGG?

Not currently. WIGGWIGG provides new Canadian phone numbers. Number porting is a complex process we may add in the future, but for now, you'll get a new number when you sign up.

Can I switch between in-app delivery and forwarding?

Yes, anytime, per number. In your dashboard you can choose to receive calls and SMS in the WIGGWIGG iOS/Android app, forward them to an existing phone, or send them straight to voicemail. Switching modes takes effect on the next incoming call or message.

Can each of my numbers have its own settings?

Yes. Every number has its own default routing action, screening preferences, spam filter, and auto-reply text. They never share settings.
