How to make cheap international calls |
Posted: September 16, 2019 |
Many will have noticed that international calls consume enough money, charging rates of 50 cents up to $1 a minute depending on the country we call. This usually happens in most operators, but luckily there are some alternatives. All this depends on whether you want to call from a local mobile/landline to a foreign mobile/landline, resulting in several combinations being better one method or another. Let us begin: 1- Free calls from mobile to mobile:This is the only reliable method to call for free (at no additional cost) and is based on transforming the voice into data, and then sending them over the internet (3g / wi-fi) to the mobile destination. As simple as that both install Skype on your mobile, and can be called only by spending on data consumption, which is usually low. These calls are free regardless of the country where the partners are located. The only thing that is spent is the transfer of data, which is usually very economical. 2- Cheap calls from local mobile to international mobile/landlineA- Promotional passes: Some telephone companies, such as Vodafone, offer subscriptions to call abroad with reduced prices, up to $0.01 per minute to some countries. In the case of Vodafone for $5 per month (customers with a contract), you can call up to 100 countries very cheaply. Of course, there is a price for establishing the call that is 30cent and then the price is charged per minute. All this is discounted from the bonus, so there are no surprises on the bill. For example, a call to Italy that normally leaves $0.59 / M with this plan costs $0.07 / M (euros per minute). B- Fonyou Service: Fonyou is a company that provides the service of associating your mobile number with a “Fonyou number” , which is local. When calling abroad this "Fonyou number" routes the call and ends up paying the price of a local call. In contrast, the system only supports calling a limited number of countries, and in most cases, it is only landlines. By the way, some telephone companies do not support in their promotions (unlimited local calls, etc.) to calls to Fonyou numbers, so make sure. C- IP Telephony It is the service that is so fashionable with Skype, which allows for a low cost to make calls to conventional mobiles and landlines (it is only free between mobiles with the application). You can charge credit or pay a monthly payment, the latter being the cheapest way. Calls to foreign mobiles rarely exceed $0.20 per minute and many places only leave $0.02. They even have a plan to make unlimited calls to landlines in 20 European countries for $6.89 per month. It is clear that there are other providers of IP Telephony, such as Otubio. In the case of Otubio you can, by connecting a device to the internet connection and the telephone (acts as an intermediary) make cheap International calls from a landline.
