Your Onoff number will be directly linked to the SIM card installed on your mobile.

Outgoing calls will be deducted from your package under the same conditions as the native number. If you have an unlimited call plan, your outgoing calls from your Onoff number will also be unlimited. If the operator charges for calls to or from abroad, the same applies to Onoff outgoing calls.

As a reminder, porting a number, deleting a number, or even an account does not cancel the auto-renewable subscription made via your store.

Onoff is a telecommunications operator based in Paris and Tallinn.

Our ambition is to lift the boundaries of the world of telecommunications to offer you the best possible communication experience.

An Onoff number is a virtual number.
It works with the network of your SIM card from any device!
Just log in to your Onoff account, and all your contacts, calls, and messages will appear in the app.

Your numbers are individually organized - making each number a self-contained communication environment.

You can add up to 5 to your account, and your contacts will only see your Onoff number during your communications.

With an Onoff number, you can:
° Activate or deactivate calls, messages, and voicemail whenever you want (Activate or deactivate functions (calls, sms, messaging))

And more!

A VIP number is easier to memorize than a "Standard", with a sequence of identical digits for example.

Typically this could be:
Standard number: +33756810374
VIP number: +33756665550
(Numbers provided for illustration only).

The app is free to download from the App Store and Play Store.

It's also ad-free...and always will be!

A number is considered national when a user has a SIM card from one country and has purchased a number from the same country (for example, a French SIM card and a French Onoff number).

A number is considered international when a user has a SIM card from one country and purchases a number from another (for example, a French SIM card and a Belgian Onoff number).

If the Onoff number you want to buy or renew is of a different nationality, it will be at the international rate.

For information, the application detects the country of residence and the nationality of the SIM card used during the last 35 days.
Thus, your store automatically applies the current rates.

⚠ IMPORTANT: We do not have a partner operator in the DOM-TOMs. The pricing is, therefore, not the same as for mainland France.

When a number is deleted from its account, it is placed in quarantine.

During this period, your number is completely blocked (this is a common practice for all telephone operators). This period can vary from 2 weeks to 2 months.
The number can be recovered throughout the quarantine period following its deletion. During this period, it is available at the top of the number shopping list, and you are the only user who can see it.

⚠ IMPORTANT : once the quarantine period is over, the number will be put back on the market for all users, and if you can't find it, it's probably because another user has purchased it.

The Onoff application uses the network of your SIM card, your calls and messages are as secure as those you make with your own main line!

The Onoff application is fully compatible with any device with:

iOS 12.0 (or newer)
Android 7.0 (or newer)

Yes.

All calls must briefly access our servers via your Internet network to establish the connection between your virtual number and your contact.

Note that VOIP is enabled by default on receiving your calls, meaning incoming calls go through mobile data or Wi-Fi.

When you make a call from the Onoff application, it is redirected through your SIM card, so there is no loss of quality.

When you receive a call, by default, the application offers you to take this call using the Internet network: a VoIP ("Voice over IP") call. However, depending on the state and quality of your 3G/4G network or your Wi-Fi connection, it is possible to observe differences in call reception quality.

When you make a purchase or a renewal in the Onoff application, you are billed through your Play Store for an Android mobile and Apple Store for an iOS mobile.

An automatic renewal subscription is set up in your store at the first purchase, and you can modify or cancel it anytime.

The following numbers will be in manual renewal, and you will be able to carry out the manipulations directly in the Onoff application on the due date.

If you wish to purchase or renew from our website, you must enter your credit card details.
The renewal of your number will be done each month automatically.

If you made your purchase in the mobile application, you are billed by your Play Store for an Android mobile and Apple Store for iOS mobile.
You must therefore fill in your new payment information in your Play Store or Apple Store account settings.

If you made your purchase on the website, you can change your credit card directly from the "billing" tab in "my account." https://web.onoff.app/settings/billing 

For Android
° Go to "Play Store" and ensure you are on the main page.
° Next, tap the menu icon in the upper left corner, to the left of the Google read text.
° Find the "My Apps" icon on your device and tap it. The auto-renewing subscription is managed through your account on your Android device.
° Tap on the "SUBSCRIPTIONS" tab.
° Choose which subscription you want to cancel and click on it.
° Press the "CANCEL" button on the chosen subscription.

⚠ ATTENTION: As a reminder, porting a number, deleting a number, or even an account does not cancel an automatic renewal subscription.

For iOS
° To view your current subscriptions and cancel, go to "Settings" on your iPhone or iPad.
° Touch your ID at the top of the screen, then "Subscriptions," and select "Onoff" to modify or cancel.

⚠ ATTENTION: As a reminder, porting a number, deleting a number, or even an account does not cancel an automatic renewal subscription.

For the Web

° You can cancel your subscription 48 hours before its automatic renewal, in the Onoff web application, by scrolling down the "options" menu under your number:
Here is the link: https://phone.onoff.app/

° You can also delete your Onoff number from your account, 48 hours before its automatic renewal.

This will cancel your auto-renewing subscription.

For a purchase made via Google and Apple:

Your store controls the billing system, and we do not control refunds.

You need to submit a request to your store within the legal withdrawal period.
You can do this directly from the purchase invoice or contact your store support for assistance.

For a purchase made on the Web:
If you have not yet used your number and you are within the legal withdrawal period, you can ask us directly for a refund (Contact customer support)

⚠ ATTENTION: As a reminder, the abusive refund request is considered a violation of the terms of our T&Cs and may lead to the blocking of your account.

Your store is in charge of the billing system, and we have no control over it.
Your invoices are accessible directly from your order history in the App Store or Play Store.

If you purchase your number through our website, a purchase receipt will be emailed to you directly.
You will receive it each month following the automatic renewal of your number.

Please be aware that editing your invoices or purchase receipts is impossible.
Therefore, you need to use the Business version dedicated to professionals to benefit from this service.

Yes, but you won't see your contacts' numbers.

The numbers that appear on your bill are the sever numbers (When I make an Onoff call, a different number is displayed) used to put you in touch with your correspondent during your call.

Your personal data is well protected.
We never resell our users' data and do not put our numbers on public directories.

For more precision and clarity, you can consult our privacy policy here: https://www.onoff.app/en/privacy-policy/

We are very sorry to hear that the difficulties you are having are caused by someone using our services.

Please be aware that we in no way endorse these practices.

However, the General Data Protection Regulation (https://www.cnil.fr/fr/reglement-europeen-protection-donnees) does not allow us to access and read data from an Onoff account Content nor to act without the order of the competent authorities.

This is why we strongly advise you to go to a police station (if this has not already been done) to file a complaint with the elements you already have (Onoff number, the content of communications, etc.)

We will then receive a legal requisition authorizing us to access the account concerned and to carry out the necessary searches in our database.
Thanks to our registration verification system, we can identify the user and deliver the elements held to the authorities.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We only collect and keep the data necessary to deliver your subscribed service.
These data include those you transmit to us when opening the account (surname, first name, email, SIM number, etc.) and those generated using the service (call or message data, IP addresses …).

The law requires Telecom operators to keep traffic data for one year from when the account is closed and make all data available to the authorities, particularly in the context of legal requisitions ordered by a judge.

You will find all the details in our privacy policy https://www.onoff.app/en/privacy-policy/

Reinstalling your application (removing the application from your mobile and reinstalling it from your store) is often enough to put everything back in order.
