How do you call an Uber taxi?

Uber does not use a phone number to arrange rides for users. Instead, customers who are seeking rides download the free Uber app on their smartphones. Once downloaded, the app uses GPS to identify pick-up points and allow users to request rides.

Once a ride is requested on the Uber app, the nearest driver receives the option to accept the fare or not. If accepted, the location of the customer is sent to the Uber driver's phone. After acceptance, contact information of the driver en route is made available to the user. This makes it easy for communication to be established and ensures a smooth pick-up and drop-off process.
