With cellphones, international calling got more complicated. Depending on your provider and your plan, dialing up your friend or loved one abroad could be free — or painfully pricey.
Instead of dropping coin for an international plan, you can pay as needed with an international calling app like KeepCalling. It offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive cellular plans, phone cards and online calling cards. Plus, its high-quality connections come free of extra charges and maintenance fees.
KeepCalling means easy, affordable international calls
KeepCalling works as a smartphone app and as an access number service. So you can use it for international calls on mobile, landlines or pay phones. The service offers calls to a bunch of destinations based on prepaid credit and monthly plans. You pay a minimum of $2 up front, then make calls as needed.
Sporting a new, improved design, the free KeepCalling app lets you make calls over Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G/LTE. Calls go directly through the app, straight from your existing contacts list (assuming they’re in international format). So you can pull straight from the dial pad, recent calls, and speed dial lists as usual. You’ll get in-app balances and other account updates in real time.
The other option is to call via access numbers. That can prove useful for making calls without using an internet connection, from a landline or pay phone. Just dial the access number closest to where you’re calling from, dial the PIN you get when you buy voice credit or a monthly plan, then dial the number you want to reach. There’s also a PINless and Speed Dial feature that cuts out the last two steps.
The world is your oyster
One of the main advantages of a service like KeepCalling over most internet calling apps is the quality of the calls. If you’ve ever made a call through Google or Skype, you know how digitally garbled it can sound. Additionally, KeepCalling can land calls in countries where internet connections are less robust than places like the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.
There’s a lot of flexibility in who you can dial up. They can be in remote locations, with or without a smartphone. In any case, the call will be high-quality. It won’t get dropped like other services that rely only on a solid internet connection on both ends.
With KeepCalling, you can make make calls or send SMS messages to places like Mexico, India, China, Colombia, Cuba, Thailand, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and many others, without dropped connections or spotty quality. It’s cost-effective, too. There are no extra fees, minutes are rounded, and balances never expire.
If that sounds good, take KeepCalling for a spin. The KeepCalling app is available free for iOS and Android. Download from the App Store, Google Play, Amazon or the Huawei marketplace. Voice credits start at $2, with monthly plans starting at $4.99. There’s also a referral program to earn free credit. Two referrals gets you $10 of voice credit, plus a 2 percent discount on every order.
