When each service fits
- Keep KeepCalling
- Keep KeepCalling if its app or an access number available where you are already fits. Its phone-based route may be useful when internet is unavailable and you have suitable local phone service.
- Choose Airlophone when it fits
- Consider Airlophone if you have internet and want to place the call in a browser without an access number or PIN. Compare the exact destination and a payment method you can use first.
Do not confuse a destination with an access number
The access number is how you enter a phone-based calling service. The destination is who you want to reach. Check both: having a rate to the destination does not prove there is a suitable access route where you are. With a browser call, enter the actual destination in international format instead.
Check your calling rate
Enter the full international number to see its rate. To call, sign in, add credit and allow microphone access. Part of a minute counts as a full one, including connected menus, queues and voicemail.
