We respect your privacy and will not share this information without advance notice. (You can read the policies here)

HawkTel is a web-based video/audio chat platform by which you can receive paid video/audio calls;
  • Just like other voice/video chat software, you should create an account on HawkTel (check our packages here).
  • Once you’ve registered and verified your email address, you’ll get your HawkTel number/HawkTel link that you can share with whomever you want to receive voice/video calls from.
  • You’ll get paid per minute of your incoming calls based on the price you set ($0.01/min-$10/min based on the registry plan you choose).
  • The caller is in charge of the payment, and they can pay by almost any card, including PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc. and the payment is directly processed on HawkTel.
  • You can request to withdraw your income once you reach at least $50. You’ll get paid within 7 business days from the moment we receive your withdrawal request.
For the Starter plan (the free one), your 10-digit HawkTel number activates instantly, right after you complete your registration. However, for the other paid plans (Standard and Business), it will take 2 to 3 business days after the registration is completed.
HawkTel uses an automated billing mechanism. This means the platform automatically charges the caller based on the fee/minute adjustment you define for your incoming calls and subtracts the call cost from the callers' HawkTel credit balance, adding it to your HawkTel account balance. When your account balance reaches $50 or more, you can request for withdrawal.
Please note that the transaction settlement time can vary from 1 hour up to 1 week. The duration totally depends on the PayPal network, and we have no control over it.
Open your HawkTel dashboard, you’ll see a unique invitation link hanging on the very first box. You can share this link directly with your audience or post it on your social channels or your website.
Nothing special! HawkTel is a web-based video/audio chatting platform that works just like other similar platforms and apps (Skype, Zoom…), which means you can log in to your account from any device you have using a web browser. You do not need to install any software or download any application.

The Starter Package (0378 numbers) is totally free but if you choose a Standard or Business Package (0555 or 0777 numbers), there is only an annual maintenance cost you need to pay and there will be no other hidden fees. You have to know that there is no long-term commitment to our interactive value-added services. You can request to cancel your line anytime you want.
For free packages (0378 numbers), the lines will be suspended and deactivated if no call is made or received for more than three months.
The case is different for 0555 and 0777 HawkTel numbers. As long as the owner of the line pays their annual subscription, you can keep your numbers and use our services for 1 year.
