Free international calling apps: what is free

Free international calling apps are free only from app to app. A call to a landline or a mobile costs money in every app, because the phone network charges for each minute

YesFree: app to app

WhatsApp, Viber, and FaceTime call other people who have the same app, over Wi-Fi or mobile data

WhatsApp, Viber, FaceTime

Paid: any phone

Your mum's landline, a hotel, a bank, or a friend without the app. Suparelay rings them for cents a minute, and you pay nothing when nobody answers

    Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Nothing to download

  • A microphone

    The one built into your laptop, or a headset. Allow it once

Suparelay Desktop for Windows is in the Microsoft Store, with the same account and credit

Skype is gone: what Skype users call with now

Microsoft retired Skype on 5 May 2025, and its replacement, Teams, has no credit for calls to normal phone numbers. Suparelay does the job Skype Credit did: calls to landlines and mobiles, paid per minute, from your computer

Call a US bank or toll-free number from abroad

Many US toll-free numbers reject calls from other countries. Suparelay places the call from the United States, so 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888 numbers connect from anywhere

Questions about international calling apps

Which app is best for international calls?

WhatsApp, if the person you call has it. For any landline or mobile, the best international calling app is the one that fits your device: Suparelay on a computer or in a phone browser, with nothing to install and the price before you dial.

Is there a free app for international calls to real phones?

No. Every app charges for calls to a landline or a mobile, because the phone network charges per minute. Suparelay keeps it to cents a minute and charges $0 when nobody answers.

Does the person I call need the same app?

Only for app to app calls such as WhatsApp. With Suparelay the person needs no app and no internet: their phone rings as a normal call.

Can I call a landline in another country with WhatsApp?

No. WhatsApp calls reach only WhatsApp users. To ring a landline abroad, use Suparelay from your browser.

Can I make international calls from a computer without an app?

Yes. Open Suparelay in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge, type the number, and press Call. You need a microphone and an internet connection.

Do international calling apps use mobile data?

Yes, when you are not on Wi-Fi. A call uses far less data than a video. On a computer, Suparelay uses your Wi-Fi or cable connection.

Can a calling app call a bank or a toll-free number in the US?

Suparelay can. It places the call from the United States, so US toll-free numbers that reject foreign callers connect from abroad.

What happened to Skype calls to phone numbers?

Microsoft retired Skype on 5 May 2025, and no new Skype Credit can be bought. Suparelay calls landlines and mobiles the way Skype Credit did, from your computer.
