BOSS Revolution or a separate browser call?
BOSS Revolution's US support page describes an app, access-number calling and retail funding. Airlophone offers a separate browser calling account. If your reason for staying with BOSS is how you add money or manage other services, compare that before changing the device you call from.

When each service fits
- Keep BOSS Revolution
- Keep BOSS Revolution if its existing account, retail funding or app fits how you pay and call. Check the calling product for your region; the sources here describe its US offering.
- Choose Airlophone when it fits
- Consider Airlophone when you want to call an ordinary phone number from a browser. Confirm that its checkout accepts a payment method you can use. It does not replace the mobile top-up or money-transfer services described by BOSS.
Compare the balance you actually use
Before making a payment, identify whether you need calling credit, a calling plan or airtime for someone else's mobile. Buying one does not establish that it pays for the others. A browser calling account is useful for reaching a number, but it does not reproduce a retailer relationship or a separate payment service.

Questions about BOSS Revolution and Airlophone
Can BOSS Revolution customers call while travelling?
Its US support page says the calling app can be used abroad with strong Wi-Fi. Check the current regional account instructions and avoid assuming that travel requires switching providers.
Can I redeem a BOSS phone card in Airlophone?
No. Use the issuing provider's redemption instructions. Airlophone needs its own calling credit and does not import a BOSS calling balance.
Does Airlophone top up another person's mobile?
This calling workflow does not buy airtime for the recipient. It pays for your call to a supported phone number. Use a mobile-recharge service if the task is adding money to their SIM.
