Even when at home, I can’t let go of my smartphone. This could potentially lead to arguments between couples.
When my phone couldn’t be found and I started searching around the house saying, “Hey, can’t you see my phone?” I was told, “I don’t know, just wear it around your neck.”
But why can’t we just have smartphones at home? Perhaps it’s because of their many features. You can make calls, send emails, browse the web, watch videos, and more.
However, even people who use LINE regularly may say, “I’m not really using all those features.” This article will explain LINE’s calling feature. This guide is for Android devices.

Finally
What is LINE Phone?
LINE is often associated with chatting, but it also has a calling feature.
LINE’s phone feature allows you to make calls using internet connection without the need for a traditional phone line. You can enjoy calls without worrying about call charges, both domestically and internationally. If you’re using a free Wi-Fi environment, your data will not be consumed during calls.
Additionally, LINE calls also support video calls. This allows you to see the other person’s face while talking, providing a more engaging communication experience.
LINE’s phone feature can be used not only on smartphones but also on computers. For LINE users, this is one of the most important communication tools.
How to make calls on LINE
Next, we’ll introduce how to make calls on LINE, what you can do during calls, and even how to make video calls. While the guide is for Android, the steps are similar on other devices.
How to make a call
First, open the chat screen of the person you want to call. Then, click on the phone icon in the top right corner of the screen. Select “Voice Call” from the options that appear. The call will then be initiated.
If you want to cancel the call, tap on the red X icon at the bottom of the incoming call screen.
You can also find the person you want to call from your friend list on the home screen, tap on them, and press the voice call icon at the bottom of their screen to make a call.
Operations during a call
During a call, you can perform various operations.
- Mute Mic: Clicking on the mic icon during a call will mute you, making your voice inaudible to the other party.
- Start Video Call: Switches the call from voice call to video call—allowing you to see each other.
- Speaker On: Tapping the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen turns on the speaker, allowing you to talk without holding the phone. This is useful when you want to listen at a louder volume or when your hands are occupied during work.
- End Call: Tap the red cross icon at the bottom of the screen to end the call.
How to make a video call
Making a video call is the same as making a voice call. Open the call screen, tap on the phone icon in the top right corner, and select “Video Call” when prompted.
You can also switch from a voice call to a video call during the call. Note that video calls consume more data, so it’s recommended to use Wi-Fi for video calls.
Other Features
You can customize your ringtone from the LINE settings menu.
To do this, go to “Settings” and then “Calls” from the home screen. Scroll down a bit until you see “Ringtone” and select your preferred option.
From “Xylophone”, “Spring”, “LINE”, to “Phone Ring”, choose one to set as your ringtone.
You can also create shortcuts. If you frequently chat with someone, you can create a shortcut from their profile screen. This allows you to move directly to the chat screen from your phone’s home screen and start chatting.
To create a shortcut, go to the profile screen of the person you want to chat with, select the hamburger menu at the top right, choose “Settings,” and then you can create a conversation shortcut or a voice call shortcut.
If You Can’t Make Calls
If you’re having issues making calls or your phone isn’t ringing, there are several ways to troubleshoot.
As LINE calls are made over the internet, try making calls from a location with stable internet connection.
At times, you may need to restart the app or your device and ensure that the microphone is enabled.
Another possibility is that you might not be able to pick up calls on LINE. Check in the settings under “Calls” from the home screen to see if “Allow Incoming Calls” is turned on.
Conclusion
With LINE’s phone feature, communication is possible not just through text but also through voice and video calls. Moreover, when using a stable Wi-Fi connection, you can make calls without worrying about call duration. I hope this article helps you make the most of LINE’s phone feature.
