Show HN: Call Me, your AI agents ring you with no extra carrier costs

A new open-source tool called Call Me lets AI agents ring an iPhone, speak a question, and return the user's spoken answer as text, with no extra carrier costs. The free iOS app provides a personal 10-digit number, and the companion CLI and plugin for Claude enable agents to call or text the user, with replies flowing back into the live session. The project, formerly known as AI Phone, is available on GitHub and the App Store.

Your AI agents can ring your actual iPhone, speak a question, and get your spoken answer back as text — or just text you. This repo has the agent-side integrations for the Call Me iOS app (formerly AI Phone).

** Call Me on the App Store** — free. Open it, tap

Agree & Continue, and it shows your personal

Call Me number: 10 digits, and all an agent needs to reach you.

Already in a terminal with the CLI? callme qr

prints a scannable QR code for that link, and callme setup

prints these steps for you.

Send these as two separate messages (slash commands only run one per message):

/plugin marketplace add radres/call-me
/plugin install call-me@call-me

Then just tell Claude: "set up Call Me". It asks for the number from the app, remembers it, and sends you a confirmation text. From then on Claude can text you and ring your phone, and your replies from the app flow straight back into the live session.

You can also paste the number into the plugin's config field when prompted — same result. Either way it lands in ~/.aiphone/config.json

, so every Claude session on the machine reaches your phone, and re-pairing to a new phone takes effect immediately without restarting anything.

Use the standalone skill in skill/. It's a single bash+curl CLI:

git clone https://github.com/radres/call-me
cp call-me/skill/callme ~/bin/   # or anywhere on PATH

callme pair 5551234567                  # once — the number from the app
callme call "Deploy staging or prod first?"   # blocks until you answer by voice
callme text "Build green, PR merged."         # push notification

Agents that support skills can point at skill/SKILL.md directly — it teaches the full flow (setup, pair, call, text, listen, title).

Drop this in your CLAUDE.md

/ agent instructions:

I'm reachable on my phone through Call Me.
Claude Code: install the call-me plugin from github.com/radres/call-me,
then run its setup tool if we aren't paired yet.
Other agents: use the callme CLI (skill/ dir) — `callme setup` explains
pairing, then `callme call "question"` rings me and returns what I say.

Notice there's no number in there: the number is a credential, so it lives in ~/.aiphone/config.json

(mode 0600) instead of your notes. callme number

reads it back, callme pair <number>

changes it.

callme call

POSTs your question to the Call Me service; your iPhone rings through CallKit like a real call, TTS speaks the question, your spoken reply is transcribed and returned to the agent. The call blocks until you answer — that's the point.callme text

sends a push-notification message; replies from the phone are delivered back into channel-enabled agent sessions (Claude Code plugin) or fetched withcallme listen

/callme events

.- Each agent session registers its own number and thread, so your phone shows separate, titled conversations per task.
