Making International Mobile Calls Is Not Expensive Anymore

By: Michiel Van Kets Home | Communications | VOIP


If you have relatives living overseas or you live abroad yourself, you will know how expensive it can be to call and have a chat. Catching up with the latest gossip or spreading some happy news has to wait until cheap rates apply or you have time to buy a phone card.

Its no longer the case where our landline is the only way to keep in touch, with the advent of the Internet, VoIP companies offer international calls to many destinations for free or at very low rates. However if you are not Internet friendly then you probably wont have ever heard of VoIP.

Phone cards are very simple to use. Purchase one for the balance you require type in the number and talk until your credit has expired. They can be used anywhere, even on your mobile.

But sometimes we want to call on the spur of the moment, are not at home near to our landline or dont have a phone card with us. The most convenient method would be if we could use our mobiles to call overseas. More often than not our mobiles are with us all the time, especially if we are not at home. They can be used to take pictures and send them, send and receive emails and text messages, even games can be played on your mobile these days. So wouldnt it be perfect if we could also use them to make an international call and not be charged the earth for this service?

Well, there are actually some options available. You can now set up an account with a cheap calls provider who charges very low or even free rates for international calls. Ensure they allow calls from mobiles.

If you look online you will find a few providers that offer this service. 18185, call18866, MobileCalls.net and Rebtel are all providers offering cheap International mobile calls. The process is pretty simple, you register your mobile number with them, when you want to call overseas you enter a local rate access number and then dial your overseas number. Talk as long as you like! If you have relatives in Australia and you live in the UK, for example, this would be ideal for you.

The charges you should expect are the low rates for the international calls (if they are not free) and the cost of the local call rate. If you already have free minutes on your mobile then there wont even be a local call rate to pay.

Services such as these have many benefits. There are no fees to pay to start with, no line charges or set up fees to find. The best thing is that there is no contract to enter into for any limited amount of time either. It is all very casual and easy. You add credit as and when you need it.

For those of you with family in far off destinations this type of service is ideal. You dont need to worry each month when the phone bill is due or miss a call abroad as you are short of cash. Check out cheap international mobile calls providers online and keep in touch more.
