About
One phone in your hand. Every line on it.
Many people carry a second phone for one reason: the SIM inside it. LineFerry exists so that phone can stay in a bag or on a shelf while its calls and texts come to the iPhone you actually use.
Why we built it
A SIM can be stuck in a phone you don't want to carry for many reasons: an iPhone that can't use it, a carrier that won't issue an eSIM, a number you need to keep in another country.
The usual answers are a second phone in your pocket, forwarding that drops your texts, or a VoIP number that isn't really yours. We wanted the real line, the real number and the real iPhone call screen.
So LineFerry turns an Android phone into a small GSM gateway. The SIM stays put; the calls and texts move.
How we work
Your SIM stays yours
No porting and no new number. LineFerry never holds your line.
Real calling systems
Calls ring through Apple's CallKit and are placed on the real SIM, not on a stand-in number.
Where we are
LineFerry is in early access. One gateway phone is certified, calls and texts work over Wi-Fi, and we're working on hotspot ringing, calls from anywhere and encryption. We let people in a few at a time.
