At Hiya, we’re revolutionizing voice communication. Our mission is to  modernize voice with intelligence for security and productivity

Since 2015, when we introduced the first mobile caller ID and spam-blocking apps, we’ve been at the forefront of voice intelligence innovation.

In 2019, we introduced Hiya Connect, a branded call SaaS platform that helps businesses reach more customers by phone.

Today, our Voice Intelligence Platform supports over 500 million users globally. By using adaptive AI and audio intelligence, it delivers smarter, safer, and more productive voice calls across networks, apps, and devices.  Our network & solution partners have grown to include British Telecom, EE, Virgin Media O2, Ericsson, Rogers, Bell Canada, MasMovil, Telenor, FICO, Twilio, and more.
