International calls
Pay by the minute, no plan
An international call billed by the minute, from your balance, with no subscription and no commitment. The destination's rate is shown before it rings, and that is the rate applied. If you do not call this month you pay nothing: there is no plan to use up and no credit that expires.
Call a landline or mobile anywhere, charged by the minute against your balance. No subscription, no commitment: if you don't call this month, you pay nothing. The rate for your destination shows before the phone rings.
How it works
Top up your balance
By MTN or Orange Money, for whatever amount you want. The balance is available immediately and covers every other service too.
Dial the number
In international format, with the country code. The app recognises the destination and shows the per-minute rate before connecting.
Talk, pay by the minute
The charge follows the actual length of the call. You see the cost in your history as soon as you hang up, with the duration and the destination.
What's included
The price before the call
The destination's rate appears before connection. No rate doubles after three minutes, and there is no connection fee added when someone picks up.
Landlines and mobiles
Both are reachable. Rates often differ — a mobile usually costs more than a landline in the same country — and what you see is the real rate for the number dialled.
No subscription
No monthly fee, no minimum term, no credit that expires at the end of the month. You pay for the minutes you speak.
The other person needs nothing
They receive an ordinary phone call on an ordinary phone. No app to install on their side, no internet connection needed.
Itemised history
Every call with its date, destination, duration and cost. Useful for a business, and essential for checking a bill.
A real example
Reach someone without internet. Call a government office back home. Talk as long as you want without watching a meter that doubles after three minutes.
Questions we are asked
Do I need internet to call?
You need a connection to place the call from the app. The person you call needs nothing but their phone: they receive a normal call, including on a phone with no internet.
What happens if my balance runs out mid-call?
The call ends when the balance can no longer cover the next minute. You are never put into negative and no debt is created. Top up and call back.
Which number does the person see?
It depends on the destination country and the operator carrying the call: some countries impose their own display rules. A chosen caller ID is therefore not guaranteed everywhere.
Is billing per second or per minute?
Per started minute, as the displayed rate states. A 61-second call is billed as two minutes; that is the rule applied by the operators carrying these calls.
Can I call premium or emergency numbers?
No. Short codes, premium-rate and emergency numbers cannot be reached from this service. In an emergency, always dial your local emergency number from your usual phone.
