Your buzzer only rings one phone. Let’s fix that.

Yes. First month free, then $9.99 a month for the whole apartment. You add a card to start, and nothing is charged until your free month is over. We text you a week before it ends, and you can cancel before then and pay nothing. One free month per person, phone, card and apartment.

If your buzzer calls a phone number, yes. That is almost every building in Canada. We check before you pay, and if there is no local number free in your area we tell you and charge you nothing. One heads up: most buildings open the door on 9, but some use a different number. The app always shows yours.

If you live alone and your buzzer only fails because your number is not local, a free number can work, and our guide to free numbers says so. Two catches. A free number belongs to one person’s app, so it does not ring everyone who lives with you. And both services can take the number back if you stop making outgoing calls from it, while your buzzer keeps dialling it. BuzzMeBro gives the apartment its own number that rings everyone on it.

From your subscription, and nothing else. We run no advertising and we do not sell data. Our privacy policy says your information is never sold and never used to train AI.

No, and it is in our privacy policy, not only here. Your phone numbers, your address and your door log are never sold, rented or licensed to anyone, and never used to train AI. We are a registered business in Toronto and we never record your calls.

No. The buzzer rings their normal phone, the same as any other call. They answer, press 9, and the door opens. There is nothing to download. When you add someone, their phone starts ringing for the buzzer right away, and they get a text saying they were added. The app is for the housekeeping, like changing who is on the list or seeing who opened the door, and you never have to open it.

Up to four phones on one apartment, and nobody pays extra. Every phone on the list rings at the same time, and any of them can open the door. Bigger place? Tell us. We would rather hear it than have you guess.

Every phone in the unit rings at once, so someone usually gets it. If nobody does, everyone gets a text with a tap to call the visitor back.

Someone has to change the number your buzzer calls, and for most people that is building management. We write the message for you with your new number already in it, so there is nothing to fill in and nothing to get wrong. Most buildings do it in two to five business days, and your old buzzer keeps working the whole time.

Sign in with the phone number you signed up with. There is no password to forget — we text you a code. From there you can add or remove roommates, open the door from your phone, and change your plan or your card.

It depends on whether they live with you. These are the two:

Any time. Service runs to the end of what you paid for, then we hold your number for 15 days while your building changes your buzzer to another number. We write that message too. Change your mind inside the window and you keep the same number, with nothing to reprogram.

Only a call from your building’s buzzer can open the door, so a stranger calling your number cannot open anything. Everyone on your list gets a text whenever someone is added, naming who made the change, and every open is logged with who pressed it.
