What is CallSanta?
CallSanta (callsanta.us) is a live, two-way phone call with Santa for children. A parent tells Santa the child's name, age, Christmas wish and a recent good deed. The child then dials a North Pole phone number, and Santa answers by name and holds a real conversation that uses those details: he listens, replies and answers their questions. It is a phone call, not a recorded video or voicemail line. It works on any phone with no app, the number arrives by email and text within seconds, and prices start at $29.
How CallSanta works
- A parent fills in a two-minute form with the child's first name, age, wish, a good deed and any extra notes (a pet, a sibling, a worry, a big achievement).
- CallSanta sends a North Pole phone number and a short code by email and text within seconds.
- The child dials Santa whenever the family is ready, from any phone, any day until Christmas Eve.
- Santa answers by name and has a real conversation: the North Pole, the wish, the good deed, the child's questions, and a warm goodbye.
Santa's voice is powered by advanced voice technology, so there is no actor on the line. That's what lets him reply live, at any hour, without bookings or queues. Here's what a call sounds like, minute by minute.

What CallSanta is not
- Not a video. Videos play the same way every time. A call talks back. See Santa call vs Santa video.
- Not a voicemail hotline. Free hotlines are lovely for toddlers, but nobody answers. See Santa hotline numbers.
- Not an app. There's nothing to download and no screen involved.
- Not a surprise call. Santa never rings your house out of the blue.
How Santa behaves on every call
- Greets each child by name and talks to every child on the order.
- Brings up the wish and the good deed in his own words.
- Answers questions about the reindeer, the elves and the North Pole in character.
- Never promises a specific present; the elves "will do their very best".
- Stays away from adult topics, money and politics.
- Ends warmly, with a reminder to be kind and listen to their parents.
