Why International Calls Cost So Much (And Shouldn't)
The dirty secret of international calling: wholesale rates are pennies per minute. Your carrier pays $0.01 to route a call to Germany. They charge you $1.50. That's a 15,000% markup. See what calls actually cost →

The math on a weekly call home
Say you call India for 30 minutes every week. That's 26 hours per year.
Through your carrier
$2,340/year
26 hours x $1.50/min
Through GlobCall
$109/year
26 hours x $0.07/min
That's $2,231 back in your pocket. Every year. For the same calls.

How to Dial International Numbers
International dialing formats confuse everyone. Here's how it actually works.
The basic format
The + sign replaces your country's exit code (011 in USA, 00 in Europe). GlobCall adds it automatically when you select a country.
Drop the leading zero
07700 900123 → +44 7700 900123
UK mobile example
Most countries use a leading 0 for domestic calls. Drop it when dialing internationally. GlobCall handles this automatically.
Common country formats
Don't memorize this
GlobCall handles formatting automatically. Select the country, enter the number as you'd dial it locally, and we add the country code and format it correctly. The rate displays before you connect — if the number is invalid, you'll know before you call.

Calling businesses vs. family
For businesses:
- • Call during their business hours (9am-5pm local)
- • Avoid lunch hour (12-2pm) — long hold times
- • Monday mornings are usually the busiest
- • Best: Tuesday-Thursday, mid-morning their time
For family/personal:
- • Evenings and weekends work best (6-9pm their time)
- • Set a recurring weekly time — easier to remember
- • Consider their routine (dinner time, bedtime)
- • Weekday evenings often have better audio quality

What's the cheapest way to make international calls?
Browser-based calling services like GlobCall. Mobile carriers charge $0.50–3.00/min for international calls. International calling cards expire and have hidden fees. GlobCall starts at $0.02/min to landlines — no monthly fee, no expiring credit, no contract.
Do I need to download an app to make international calls?
Not with GlobCall. Open the site in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Sign in, pick a country, enter the number, click Call. Works on any device with a browser and microphone — laptop, phone, tablet.
Can I call landlines and mobile phones internationally?
Yes. GlobCall reaches both landlines and mobiles in 200+ countries. Landlines are usually cheaper (as low as $0.02/min). Mobile rates vary by country and carrier.

Do I need the person I'm calling to have an app?
No. GlobCall connects to regular phone numbers — landlines, mobiles, business lines. The person you call doesn't need any app or internet connection. Their phone just rings.
What's the catch with cheap international calls?
No catch. You buy credit from $5, use it whenever you want, and it never expires. We make money on the per-minute rate, not on expiring balances or hidden fees. The rate shown is the rate charged.
Can I call internationally from my phone?
Yes. GlobCall works in any mobile browser. Open the site, grant microphone access, and call. You're using your phone's internet connection (Wi-Fi or data) instead of carrier minutes.
Is the call quality good for international calls?
On decent Wi-Fi or 4G, call quality is indistinguishable from a regular phone call. We route through Tier 1 carriers. No robot voice, no 3-second delay. If your internet is spotty, quality will suffer — same as any VoIP call.
