The Localphone Blog

We’re pleased to announce the latest update to our Android app, which is now available to all our customers worldwide. Previously, only customers in countries where we have access numbers were able to use the app, but now all our customers can make WiFi calls to anywhere in the world. The app is free to download from Google play and calls are made using your Internet connection. The app will use WiFi or 3G depending on your settings and all you’ll pay is our low call rates - there are no local charges using this calling mode. Download our Android app today.

We’ve also added ’share’ functionality into the app. You can recommend Localphone to your friends and family straight from the app via email, SMS and social networks and you’ll earn your referral bonus for each friend who signs up to Localphone and adds credit.
