Frequently Asked Questions

▶How can I send an SMS without saving the number?

Paste any text containing phone numbers into NumSwift. It extracts all numbers automatically using Google's libphonenumber library, which handles 15+ phone number formats across 200+ countries. Tap the SMS icon next to any number and your phone's default messaging app opens with the number pre-filled — no need to save it as a contact first. Extraction completes in under a second.

▶Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The SMS button uses the standard sms: URI protocol, which is supported natively on iOS and Android without requiring any app installation. It opens your default messaging app — iMessage on iPhone or your chosen SMS app on Android — with the number pre-filled and ready to send. The tool runs entirely in the browser, so it works on any mobile device.

▶Can I also use WhatsApp or make a call instead of SMS?

Yes. NumSwift provides three one-tap actions for every extracted phone number: SMS via the sms: protocol, a direct phone call via the tel: protocol, and a WhatsApp chat via WhatsApp's deep link. All three work without saving the number to your contacts. Numbers are automatically formatted in E.164 international format so WhatsApp routing works correctly.

▶Does it cost anything to use?

NumSwift is completely free with no account required. The tool runs entirely in your browser and processes numbers locally — no data is sent to a server. Standard SMS rates from your mobile carrier may apply when you actually send the text message, but the number extraction and formatting done by NumSwift has no charge.
