Introducing TranslateMyCall

Today we're launching TranslateMyCall: a free phone number that works as a live interpreter.

Call (228) 888-8666 from any phone — landline or mobile, no app, no account — and an AI interpreter joins the line. Then use it one of two ways:

• On a phone call. Merge in the person you're calling with your phone's merge-calls button. You speak English, they hear Spanish (or Mandarin, or Arabic, or Ukrainian…), and their reply comes back to you in English. Both directions, out loud, in real time.
• Face to face. Put the phone on speakerphone between you and someone who doesn't share a language with you. Each of you just talks.

47 languages are fully supported, and another two dozen usually work with reduced quality. Try yours.

Why we built it

Over-the-phone interpreting is one of those quietly enormous industries: hospitals, courts, insurers, and call centers spend billions a year connecting human interpreters to phone calls, usually with a few minutes of setup per call. Meanwhile, everyone else — the person calling a landlord, a clinic, a parent-in-law — simply goes without.

We build ThunderPhone, a voice-AI platform whose whole job is handling real phone calls well: noisy audio, interruptions, accents, and 47 languages. A live interpreter is what that engine looks like with the volume turned up, so we packaged it into the simplest possible product: one number anyone can dial.

Private by default

Translation should feel as private as a quiet word in someone's ear, so that's how we built it. Calls aren't recorded, no transcripts are kept, and there's no account to create. Your conversation is translated in the moment, and then it's gone.

Free for a limited time

TranslateMyCall is free right now — standard carrier charges aside, the interpreting itself costs nothing. Call the number, put it through its paces, and tell us what worked and what didn't.

For language service providers

The same engine is available as ThunderPhone Interpreting: a fully white-label over-the-phone interpreting platform for LSPs, with dedicated numbers per language pair, dashboards and call logs, and compliance and data-residency options — your brand, our engine. If you run an interpreting book of business and want to see what AI interpreting does to your unit economics, email sales@thunderphone.com or visit our enterprise page.

And if you want the engine itself — AI phone agents for your own call workflows, from 2¢/minute — that's ThunderPhone.

(228) 888-8666. Pick up the phone. Be understood.
