Read in 2 minUpdated 8 Oct 2026For everyone

Hello Fraands lets you talk to a real person on a normal phone call. You pick who to talk to, you talk in your own language, and you pay only per minute. Baat karo. Dil halka karo.

What it is

Sometimes you just want someone to listen. Maybe you feel alone. Maybe you want a new friend. Maybe you want to talk about a subject you love.

On Hello Fraands, you choose a host by mood, language and price. A host is a real person who is 18 or older. Every host has been checked with a video check. Hosts earn from home by talking.

  • You talk on a normal phone call. No app is needed.
  • Your phone number stays private. So does the host’s.
  • It works in India only, with Indian numbers and UPI.

Who is it for?

It is for anyone who wants company or wants to be heard. Many callers find a regular “dost” and call again and again.

Example: Rohit from Pune has an exam tomorrow. It is 11 at night and he cannot sleep. He feels his heart racing. He does not want to wake his family. He opens the website and picks the mood “exam ki tension”. He chooses a host who speaks Hindi and is online now. They talk for 15 minutes. Rohit feels lighter and goes to sleep.

What it is not

Please read this part well.

  • It is not therapy or counselling.
  • It is not a crisis line.
  • It is not a place for doctor, lawyer, CA or money advice.
  • It is not a dating service or an adult service.

Hosts must not act like doctors, lawyers, counsellors or financial advisors. If you are in danger, call 112. For mental health support, call Tele-MANAS on 14416. It is free and open 24 hours. See emergency help.

How it keeps you safe

  • Your number is hidden. See How does a call work?.
  • AI follows every live call and ends it if someone is abusive or tries a scam.
  • We do not record calls. No person listens to live calls.
  • You can press the # key at any time to end the call and block the person.
