When each service fits
- Keep Talk360
- Keep Talk360 if its app and the payment or voucher options available to you make it practical to call. Regular use can also keep its paid credit active under the published rules.
- Choose Airlophone when it fits
- Consider Airlophone if you want to call in a browser, keep credit for infrequent calls without an expiry date and can use a payment method offered in its checkout.
Inactivity is different from a fixed purchase-date deadline
Talk360's current terms define inactivity as no outbound calls, mobile top-up purchases or credit payments for 365 days. Its help describes qualifying activity that extends paid-credit validity. Do not assume every purchase expires one year later regardless of use, and check promotional credit separately. Airlophone's non-expiring credit may fit long gaps between calls, but payment access and the destination quote still matter.

Questions about Talk360 and Airlophone
Does Talk360 credit expire even if I keep calling?
Talk360's current help and terms describe inactivity-based expiry and qualifying use or purchases that extend paid-credit validity. Promotional credits can follow different rules. Check those current rules rather than assuming all credit expires a year after the original purchase.
Can I use a Talk360 voucher with Airlophone?
A Talk360 voucher funds Talk360 under its redemption instructions. Do not buy one to fund Airlophone. Check that Airlophone checkout offers a payment method you can use before switching.
Does the person I call need internet?
For calls to supported ordinary numbers, neither Talk360 nor Airlophone requires the recipient to install the service or connect to the internet. They answer through their phone service. The caller's own connection and account requirements are separate.
