It\u2019s a convenient app for group chats (up to 100 people), colorful messaging (with free and paid sticker packs) and it gives you the option to call internationally.

It has a range of standard features of a wifi calling app that make it convenient for most people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re looking for an app to make international calls specifically, you\u2019ll be better off in the long run with one that offers the lowest rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Vonage \u2013 Great solution for your home phone (not ideal for mobile phones)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>App Store<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 4.7 (mobile app only)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Google Play<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 3.9 (mobile app only)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a way to take advantage of VoIP connectivity via your landline, then Vonage is for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vonage is an interesting solution for connecting your home phone to VoIP technology. It allows you to answer calls to your home phone via your mobile phone while you\u2019re out of the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It offers low-cost domestic and international calling rates as well as some useful features like <\/span><b>Visual Voicemail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (voicemail transcriptions sent to your email) and <\/span><b>Boomerang<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a slick way to disconnect incoming international calls and reconnect you via your Vonage line).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, their service isn\u2019t available for mobile phones without a home phone plan. So it\u2019s not an independent app for international calls, per se. It\u2019s definitely not the best app for international calls on mobile phones. So it may not suit some of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equip your home phone with <\/span><b>VoIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> connectivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receive and make <\/span><b>international calls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> via the mobile app<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unique features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Visual Voicemail, Boomerang)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Virtual numbers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for 22 countries, so friends and family abroad can call you without paying international rates<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home phone <\/span><b>required<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Not a mobile-only service)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited countries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can call<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calls are made from your\u00a0<\/span><b>home<\/b> <b>phone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (not your mobile phone number)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.

For now, we can tell you that it seems like a useful option for calling and texting anyone around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their site shows that with their app, you can send and receive international calls and texts all around the world. Their rates for international SMS to some destinations are as low as 0.9\u00a2 per message. This quickly makes it one of the best apps for international calls and texts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, their call rates are not the lowest out there. So if you\u2019re concerned about cost, Voxofon may not suit you. The app also had technical difficulties verifying my phone number when I tried it, so I can\u2019t say if it\u2019s possible to get a second number with Voxofon or not.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Call and text<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to many countries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low international SMS rates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for some countries<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Not the lowest calling rates<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Technical errors<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.

Several minute packages are offered at different price points, but the main idea is that minutes with shorter lifespans (closer expiration dates) are offered at lower rates. Having an expiration date on your minutes limits your calling flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Nobel extends the functionality of VoIP technology to non-smartphone users with their access number functionality (these work like traditional calling cards), which could be of interest to you if you aren\u2019t using a smartphone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Range of <\/span><b>payment and package options<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available for <\/span><b>non-smartphones<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mobile top-up <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International <\/span><b>text messages<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>24\/7 in-app support<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Access numbers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: use their service from any phone (useful for non-smartphone owners or people without mobile phones)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minutes <\/span><b>expire<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>4-minute rounding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: on their lowest-rate plan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of Nobel\u2019s features are attractive.

Being able to get help when you need it from within the app is incredibly convenient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, is it really the best app for cheap international calls? Your minutes expire and you\u2019ll lose credit faster with <\/span><b>4-minute rounding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the charge for the call length is rounded up in increments of 4 minutes. A one-minute call is charged like a four-minute call. Once you hit the five-minute mark, you\u2019re charged for 8 minutes of talking time, even if you only talk for 6 minutes. And so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can avoid this by choosing a plan with higher per-minute rates. If cost is an issue, then you may be better off with a different app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That rounds out our list of the 10 best apps for international calls. Before I go, here are a few answers to some of the most often asked questions about international calling apps. You may be asking yourself some of these same questions. We hope this helps.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Best App for Free International Calls?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all of the apps mentioned in this list offer <\/span><b>free international calls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some offer more opportunities than others. Choosing which one is best for you depends on your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do most of your friends have WhatsApp? Then WhatsApp will suit your needs. Do you need to call mobiles and landlines as well? Then there are plenty of opportunities to make free international calls with Yolla.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Best App for Free International Calls to the US?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what you\u2019re considering, there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s for sure \u2013 calling cards are expensive and unnecessary. As long as you choose the right app from this list, you\u2019ll be able to call the US for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do the people you want to call in the US have iPhones? If so, FaceTime may be enough. Do they use Viber? WhatsApp? Then one of these might suit you better. If you need to call a mobile phone without the app installed, or to a landline or a business in the US, then you\u2019ll need to choose another one.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Best iPhone app for Free and Cheap International Calls?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you and the people you contact all have an iPhone, the best app for free and cheap international calls is already on your phone \u2013 FaceTime. But, if you need to call anyone else, a mobile or a landline, an app like Yolla will serve you best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Verdict<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the cheapest way to call internationally? Definitely a WiFi calling app. So, what\u2019s the best one?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a wide range of apps to make international calls these days. Some even connect with your landline service, bringing the benefits of an international calling app to your home phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without a doubt, one of the ones on this list (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/rebtel-vs-vonage-vs-yolla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or this list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) will suit your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wifi calling is about convenience, reliability and affordability. While many of the best apps for international calls are useful, it\u2019s best to have one app that packs all of the convenient features into one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Yolla<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes all of the needed features plus more, making for a simple, reliable, convenient and high-quality experience that won\u2019t break your bank.
