About EasyRinger
Virtual phone numbers built by people who understand what it means to stay reachable across borders — a service we have run continuously since 2009.
EasyRinger helps individuals, expats, travelers, and businesses stay reachable from anywhere with virtual numbers, call forwarding, SMS, voicemail, and more. We have been doing it since 2009 — first for expats in China and Hong Kong, and today in more than 25 countries.

More Than 15 Years of Virtual Phone Experience
EasyRinger has been keeping people reachable across borders since 2009, through several generations of phone technology.
That experience shows up in the product. What began as call forwarding for expats now includes SMS and MMS, voicemail with transcription, IVR menus, number porting, call blocking, SIP devices, calling from the browser, and multi-user accounts — nearly all of it added because subscribers asked for it. The platform has been rebuilt along the way to keep up, and the same founder has run the company from the first day.
Built by People Who Needed the Product Themselves
EasyRinger started from a real communication problem, not a generic product idea.
A virtual phone service created from firsthand experience
EasyRinger was created in 2009 by Theron Welch after experiencing the challenge of staying connected while living abroad. That original need shaped a practical service for people who want a reliable local number while working, traveling, or building a business internationally.
The story gives EasyRinger a clear advantage: the team understands the real situations customers face because the product began with those same challenges.
