Press release
SAN FRANCISCO
Airlophone opens a browser-based calling service with published rates for 221 countries
Airlophone, a browser-based international calling service created by Fabio Jonathan, is available at airlophone.com. It calls landlines and mobiles in 221 countries from any modern browser, with no app to install, no SIM card and no subscription. Every rate is published before signup, and the price is read from the digits dialled, so a landline and a mobile in the same country are never quoted at one blended rate.
Credit is prepaid from $5.00 and does not expire. Calls run from $0.03 a minute. Add credit before calling. A team can share one balance with no seat fee to call, with member caps and activity analytics. Professional adds selected recording, AI transcripts and call notes, call lists and follow-ups for $0.02 per minute on top of the call rate.
Airlophone began as a tool Fabio Jonathan built while working and travelling abroad. He needed to call banks, clients and government offices that still answered ordinary phone numbers. Professional keeps the result of those calls in searchable transcripts, AI call notes, owners and follow-ups.
“I kept needing to call banks and clients abroad, but neither carrier rates nor a monthly phone system fit an occasional call. We built the dialer for our own work, then made it available to anyone with the same problem.”

Story ideas
01 · Consumer tech and data desks
In 29 countries, calling a landline costs more than calling a mobile.
Every calling service asks which one you are dialling, and almost nobody knows. Airlophone publishes both prices in 200 countries. They differ by a factor of two or more in 44, and in 29 the landline is the dearer one, against the intuition everybody has. The widest gap is Portugal: $0.05 to a landline against $1.69 to a mobile, a 33.8x spread inside one country. Any service quoting a single national rate is wrong by that much whenever the guess goes the wrong way.
02 · Founder profiles, indie and startup desks
Fabio Jonathan built Airlophone after repeatedly calling US institutions while working abroad.
Fabio Jonathan loves travelling and often works from other countries. His bank, tax office and card issuer still answer ordinary US phone numbers during US working hours. Reaching them meant paying roaming rates, finding an app the institution did not use, or buying credit before seeing the call price. He built Airlophone for those calls.
03 · Business, SMB and telecom desks
Phone systems bill per seat. Teams that place calls rather than answer them are paying for the wrong thing.
The business phone market prices per user per month, which suits a support desk with a queue and suits nobody who mostly dials out. A relocation firm, a background checker or an agency calling on behalf of clients pays for a licence per person whether or not that person made a call. Airlophone funds one shared balance instead, with no seat fee to call, a monthly cap per person enforced at the moment somebody presses Call, and an answer rate per person where every rival reports a call count.
Ready-to-use descriptions
One sentence
Airlophone is a browser-based international calling service: call landlines and mobiles in 221 countries at published per-minute rates, with no app to install, no SIM card and no subscription.
One paragraph
Airlophone is a browser-based international calling service for people who need to reach an ordinary phone number in another country. It calls landlines and mobiles in 221 countries from any modern browser, with no app to install and no SIM card. Calls run from $0.03 a minute against prepaid credit that does not expire, and the full rate card is published before you create an account rather than after. Accounts are personal, or shared by a team on one balance, with no seat fee to make a call. Every team includes Professional, which adds $0.02 per minute to the Basic destination rate for recording, AI transcripts, call notes, call lists and follow-ups.
The full story
Airlophone began as a tool Fabio Jonathan built for himself. He loves travelling and often works from other countries, but his bank, clients and government offices still answer ordinary phone numbers, often in another time zone. Carrier calls were expensive, while full business phone systems charged every month for calls he only needed occasionally.
Calling an ordinary phone number in another country is still awkward. Roaming charges by the minute, while calling apps work only when both people use the same app. Skype Credit was the common pay-as-you-go option. Microsoft retired Skype in 2025 and stopped new purchases. Existing paid users have a limited transition path, but there is no new pay-as-you-go service for this job.
With Airlophone, you open a browser, type a number, and see the call price before you dial. Credit is prepaid and does not expire. There is no subscription, connection fee or app to install.
Landlines and mobiles in the same country use different wholesale bands and can cost different amounts. Airlophone resolves the band from the number dialled and prices it accordingly. Across 200 countries it publishes both rates. They differ by a factor of two or more in 44 of them, and in 29 the landline costs more.
Professional keeps the work after the call with selected recording, searchable AI transcripts, on-demand AI call notes, contact follow-ups and call lists. On a team account, one shared balance funds everybody with no seat fee to call. Admins can set monthly caps, review team activity and see who called, who answered and what needs a follow-up. Every team is Professional, adding $0.02 per minute to the Basic destination rate.
The team already used Granola for notes after Zoom calls and wanted phone calls to leave a useful record too. Airlophone keeps the transcript, note, owner and next follow-up beside each call.
Key features
- The price is read from the digits you dial, so a landline and a mobile in the same country are never quoted at one blended rate.
- The whole rate card for 221 countries is public before you create an account, including the destinations that are refused and why.
- Calls run in the browser on desktop or mobile. There is no app to install and no SIM to swap.
- Credit is prepaid from $5.00 and does not expire. There is no subscription and no connection fee.
- A team shares one balance and calling carries no seat fee, so somebody who made no calls this month costs nothing. Every team is Professional, which adds $0.02 per minute to the Basic destination rate.
- Professional adds selected call recording, searchable AI transcripts and on-demand AI call notes for $0.02 per minute on top of the normal call rate.
- Call lists keep numbers, owners, attempts, outcomes and callbacks together, then open the next assigned call in the browser dialer.
- Team analytics show calls, answer rate, talk time, spend and follow-ups from the same call record used by each member profile.
- Rates are public before signup. Add prepaid credit before placing a call.
- A US or Canada phone number can be rented for $5.00 a month, so calls can be returned as well as placed.
About the developer
Airlophone was created by Fabio Jonathan in San Francisco. He was born in Jakarta, grew up in the United States, and loves travelling and often works from other countries. He speaks English and Indonesian.
It is not a carrier and not a rebadged white-label app. The dialer, the rate engine and the billing are built here, and calls are carried over licensed carrier networks.
Product limits
- No emergency services
- Airlophone cannot reach 911, 999, 112 or their equivalents anywhere, and cannot report your location to a dispatcher. Keep a phone that can.
- Caller ID may differ from your personal number
- Calls use an Airlophone number by default. Set up Verified Caller ID with an eligible number you own, or rent an Airlophone number for callbacks. The dialer confirms availability before each call. Institutions may still ask additional security questions.
- Rented numbers are not for verification codes
- A rented number can receive calls and texts, but it cannot send texts. Most banks and online services reject internet phone numbers for two-factor authentication.
- Premium-rate numbers are refused
- Ranges that exist to bill the caller heavily are refused rather than priced, so a misdialled premium number cannot run up a bill.
