These Apps Will Make Free International Calls Over The Internet

Chris Muniu May 5, 2017

For a long time, making international calls has been very expensive. Even when phone carriers try to slash the prices in marketing efforts, it didn’t change much. Skype came in and tried to solve this by allowing voice and video calls over the internet.

The problem with this was,  not everyone had a Skype account. The Skype app is a bit bulky and many people with low end smartphones prefer not to have it on their phones. Skype had a VOIP service that allowed you to call international phone numbers but you have to pay for that using Skype credit.

In modern times, there are plenty of messaging apps that allow you to make a free voice and video calls to someone else with the app. These apps are light weight and very popular. Here is a list:

Whatsapp:

It has the cleanest interface of the all.  Whatsapp allows you to make a voice or video call to any of your contacts with Whatsapp installed on their phone.

All you need is to have your phone connected to your work or home Wifi. If you’re using your carrier’s data plan it’s also extremely cheap especially for voice calls. If the person you’re calling is not online,  he/she will get a ‘Missed call’  message. In my experience, the calls are crystal clear and run as smoothly as you would like.

Skype:

Facebook Messenger:

Facebook messenger is still struggling in places with poor internet connection and on low end smartphones due to the size and complexity of the app.  Here you’ll also get free voice and video calls.

Google Allo:
