How cheap are international calls here?

Rates start at $0.03 per minute. The exact price depends on the destination and on whether you dial a landline or a mobile — you'll see it before the call connects. 218 destinations covered.

Is it cheaper than my carrier?

Compare the two rates directly. Look up your carrier's per-minute charge for the country you're calling, including any international add-on fee, and check it against the rate shown above for the same destination.

Do I have to subscribe?

No. No monthly plan, nothing to cancel. You top up a balance and each call draws from it at the per-minute rate.

Does my balance expire?

No. Your credit stays until you spend it.

Can I call landlines, or only apps?

Real phone numbers — landlines and mobiles. The person you call doesn't need an app, an account, or an internet connection.

Does it work without a shared language?

Optionally. Translated calls run at a separate per-minute rate — a standard call doesn't use them.

Why a plan costs more if you call rarely

A plan's per-minute price only holds if you use the whole allowance. These are the four ways international minutes are usually sold, and what each one charges for ten minutes.

Why a plan costs more if you call rarely
How you pay	Cost of 10 minutes	The catch
Monthly subscription	Full month's fee	The monthly fee is charged whether or not you call. Whether unused minutes carry over depends on the plan.
Prepaid minute bundle	Whole bundle up front	The bundle is paid up front. Many bundles set an expiry window — check the terms before buying.
Carrier international add-on	Add-on fee + per-minute	Billed to a single phone line, so it only applies to calls from that handset.
Parlacall pay-as-you-goOur model	10 × the destination rate	Top up from $5.00. Charged per minute, with nothing to cancel.
