Santa's Phone Number in 2026 (Real Numbers That Work)

The number, straight away

Santa's free hotline number is 1-605-313-0691. Any phone can dial it, any day of the season. Your child hears Santa's recorded greeting and then leaves him a voicemail — name, wishlist, how good they've been, all of it. For Spanish speakers, Santa keeps a second line at 605-313-4001. And on December 24 only, 1-877-446-6723 reaches NORAD's volunteers, who will tell your child exactly where the sleigh is at that moment. All three are free; your regular phone plan is the only cost.

What happens when your child calls

The hotline is a one-way mailbox. Santa's greeting plays, the tone beeps, and your child talks — which, for a four-year-old clutching the phone with both hands, is plenty magical. What the hotline cannot do is answer. Nobody picks up, nobody calls back, and the question your child rehearsed all afternoon floats off into the North Pole voicemail system.

When you want Santa to answer back

That is what a live video call with Santa is for. You choose a five, ten, or fifteen minute visit, brief Santa beforehand on your child's name, age, wishlist, and one family detail, and at the booked time Santa appears on video — a real, background-checked Santa who listens and responds to every word. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or laptop; no app, no account. Visits start at $24.95 plus a flat $2 booking fee, with full details on our pricing page and a make-it-right guarantee up to a full refund.

A good one-two

Plenty of families do both: the free hotline in November for the thrill of leaving Santa a message, then a live video call in December so Santa can bring that voicemail up himself. Few things land like Santa saying, "I got your message about the blue bike."
